Successful traders are most likely people who can take the initiative to run with an idea and see if it works. On their own. They are self-starters. They do not want to be spoon-fed. As Xhale says, to become great at anything, be it tennis or chess or piano, you must eat it, sleep it, and breathe it. You never complain about the hours put into it, because you are passionate about it. This is your raison d'etre.
A tough day in the life of a trader is many times better than a great day in the life of one with a boring job. Or put another way: A tough day in the life of a free man is many times better than a great day in the life of a slave.
Best trading to all
