Re: Share Your Trading Experience With US!!

1. Why did you decide to become a trader?

I have a love for markets, a passion that cannot be fully articulated. Michelangelo once said, If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all. Michelangelo sculpted, Picasso painted, I trade financial markets.

What steps or hurdles did you overcome to become a trader?

Almost too many to list, people underestimate what it takes to become a professional trader, and more importantly retain that status through a lifetime career! I have had to overcome all the typical psychological issues such as under trading, over trading, fear of entering, fear of loss, hubris, elation...the list could go on for miles. It is a sheer burning desire that helped to drive me through the obstacles and I continue to try and better myself professionaly every single day.


3. Do you see yourself trading in the next 10 years?

Absolutely! Even after I have made my money and feel that it is time to retire I will always be actively engaged with markets helping other traders and giving back to others some of what I was able to take...
