[Trade Up]

A good trader has to feel comfortable with every decision which they make.

There is no point thinking "The market looks weak, I am going to go short" then seeing a stock you like, and going long. Its like paddling in a tidal wave if the market is not right.

It is strange, but you do develop a feel for the market, and within seconds you can do figures in your head to see if a stock looks good value.

You can teach people about markets, but if they dont have a genuine interest and "feel" for the market, they will never be Great Traders.
