For those of you who’ve walked the trader’s path, you’ll know how daunting it can be. Standing in the footsteps of legends, wondering which strategy to follow, what concepts to learn and--more importantly--whether you really have what it takes to be a trader.

When your emotions are raging like a rollercoaster, a trading win can lead to a euphoric high. And a loss? A plummeting low that makes you doubt your ability and courage to stay in the game. 

But can you learn to overcome your emotions, bide your time, fight against your urge to buy or sell, and figure out how to read the markets? Can you teach yourself to be a trader?

When you’re filled with self-doubt and overwhelmed by a plethora of trading tools and options, you may find yourself asking the question: are traders born or made?

Very good question. I feel you need to be born to be a good trader, be able to make decisions on data and statistics, and leave emotions out of the equation. But this is very hard to do, even if you are aware that this is critical. I had quite a few trading courses and know the pitfalls...but still get trapped again and again. I might be an impulsive person and less fact driven...and this will always haunt me.
