Here's a video on Youtube that honors traders and the incredible mental attributes we have: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwKYjZ_8EcE&hd=1]YouTube - We Are Traders - A tribute to all those who trade[/ame]

Great stuff guys thank you. I'm actually an experienced trader myself. Have been trading for a living for a few years now. For me it was more of a calling. The process of trading itself is inherently enjoyable. But I also am intrigued to know how others in the business view it, so that is why I asked. I hope everyone can pitch in and share their views.

I'm interested to know what your reasons are for being a trader. What do you love about it? Is it the money, the risk-taking, the self-cultivation? What images or analogies does trading conjure up? Why are you proud to be a trader?

Breakthroughs That Led to Trading Improvement and Success.
QTrader replied to Ingot54's topic in General Trading
My breakthrough moment was when I realized that one of the great "secrets" to trading is that when things line up and you have "the nuts" pressing it and being extra aggressive (while still controlling risk) is what can turn you from a good trader to a great trader. A bit more size, a bit more aggressive entries, a bit more boldness on the exit when your conviction is high and the difference is between night and day. The great traders I hear and read about all have this trait and now I have seen it for myself and internalized it on a more personal level.
