Glad i found this forum. i think it is very good desu!
My profile is that of an Independent Trader.
a little abt myself. i trade E-mini Futures. taking in small profits here and there but not sufficient to make a living yet.
been at trading coming to 2yrs. and have a debt to clear due to early gunslinging trading days.
basically learning by elimination with no mentor. none of my frens are traders...
wanna do it full time for life cos i have no flair for biz & dun like office politics.
trading is intriguing for me cos its one of the most complex subject i come across, esp abt trading psychology.
i'm just happy that my understanding has deepen enuf to achieve some consistency.
i'm hopeful to clear my debts and realise my vision of becoming the globally mobile trader.
You are an Independent Trader!
If the markets interest you, you'll probably work to develop a logical explanation for how they work. This is because you love theoretical ideas and abstract concepts (in fact, much more so than people interactions). This can be great for trading success, if you don't get too theoretical. This type of trader profile suggests that you value knowledge above all else. As a result, you'll be constantly generating new ideas about the market or trying to disprove the ideas that you learn from others...
One of your Trading Strengths
You can quickly determine if a new style of trading or system will fit well with your personality.
One of your Trading Challenges
Your trading could dominate your time and you could become socially isolated, which in turn could upset others, particularly if you have a spouse.
