So, what makes a great trader?

I am very jaded in my own opinion.

Some will say it is a person with little or no drawdown, and a slowly ascending equity curve up.

Others will say it is the person that made the most money at the end of the year, regardless of how large their drawdown was.

It's an interesting question, isn't it?

Person with tendency of not giving up creates a great traders

Whatever bullshit a person practices that results in profits makes that person a great trader until his/her days are over.

The trader that can make an ass load of cash in any type of market.

When trading a mini-lot or 100 standard lots per trade meant the _same_ to him, emotionally or otherwise. That's the mark of a great trader.

I try not to measure the greatness of a trader by the slope of his equity curve, but by the motives behind his actions.

Anyway, the equity curve by itself has little to tell. Knowledge of the trading method is required to interpret the results.

Money talks! You constantly making money - you are a great trades! Everything else doesn't matter.
