What like selling code for big bucks that TL has for free? (Thank you guys a ton that program those indicators for us)

I couldn't agree more with the above. I think 10 years is a milestone but by no means do you need 10 years in to be a "pro". In fact I'd say if it takes you 10 years to get the concept of the market you might not be cut out for it and certainly a slow learner.

The sooner you learn how to play like the 10+ year "pros" the quicker you might join the ranks as a pro. There can be no time frame as we are all different and learn at different paces. It's been proven that genetics and upbringing play a role in how well some manage risk/reward ratios. I believe it was 60 minutes that did a special on how successful people (not pro gamblers just successful business people) smashed average Joes at the casino on straight gambling with poker for example. Success is more a mindset than a skill it seems. If you can't mimic those brainwaves and emulate success by changing your emotions, odds are against you.

Great conversation here guys.
Exactly, that is pretty much what I am trying to say....

In all seriousness, there are those who are born with the genetics to be ripped and have a six pack without even working out, and then there are those that no matter how hard they try, they have a mediocre physique...

Logically, the same thing would apply to mentality as well...some can just "get it" while others cannot, or at least it takes a much more concentrated effort.
