A Riddle

[SRspider 10]

Hello Everyone,

First post on here. I wanted to post a riddle which pertains to trading. Here are the clues.

 

You Can't buy it.

You Can't see it.

You Can't touch it.

You Can't smell it.

Sometimes you can feel it.

Once you got it, its difficult to lose it.

 

Take a guess.

I was going to go with success but "the sweet smell of success" would rule that out. I guess many of the perceptions of self would fit. I am surprised you have had not had more guesses....didn't think it was that busy a trading day

How about... an edge?

I hope nobody trades with 6th sense... LOL

Anxiousness (of putting on a trade)?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for posting your guesses. The answer that mostly corresponds to what I had in mind was an edge. Or what I consider the holy grail of trading. What I mean is that take two traders and give them the same setups and the one who know when its best to pass on the setup and when its best to take it,will come out ahead. And of course the only way to know when to pass is to have the screen time and experience watching that setup. Once you got that for even just one setup, I think you've crossed over to consistency.
