You know you're over confident as a trader when.....

You start rehearsing your interview with Jack Schwager....

...you stop looking for other peoples opinion on a particular Pair.

You preorder your private Jet.

You put a second mortgage on your house to finance your first live account.

you multiply your gains by 1000 and divide your losses by 1 million

When you get a margin call.

You join the cast of Fast Money.

thats not overconfidence that is just good plain common sense, if you are going out looking for others ideas to follow your not much of a trader.

when people mistake you for Timmy Sykes

When your've spent several years building up your account and learning to trade forex (to the point your a "experienced" trader on FF) and risk it all on that one trade that u can retire on......

.......

.......

....... and 2 years later, your still working

Taleb Nassim would say:

When you do not take precautions against the black swan. Believing that you are invicible and gifted. When your success could merely be attributed to lady fortuna.

That you've found the correlation between trading forex, and e-bay.
