THESE 4 TRAITS WILL MAKE TRADERS SUCCESSFUL

If you have a passion for trading, Dr. Brett Steenbarger has some choice words for you: you're not going to make it. Instead, traders need to be passionate about markets. It may sound like a minor distinction, but it's not. In decades of working with billionaire hedge fund managers and traders, he's found that traders that are passionate about trading don't put in the work and trade too much.

To be successful trading, Dr. Steenbarger has learned:

1.   A rule of thumb for how traders should control losses so that they never lose more in a morning than they can make in an afternoon, more in a day than they can make in a week and more in a week than they can make in a month;

2.   Why traders should not just focus on minimizing their weaknesses, but also maximizing their strengths;

3.   A simple trading journal that will help you improve each day; and


4.   That the best traders are ones that embrace losses and use them to become better.

Number 4 is very substantial to me and the newbies should too. The bad traits of starting traders is that they never want to lose and all they want is a winning streak. They act like a child that when they don't get what they want, they just leave and hate trading. But I guess they are not really into it because like me, I was upset with my losses but I know that I will not give up and it gives me idea on making my own effective strategies.
