Are successful traders born or self made?
they are bred. i breed successful traders.

you find a male trader with good qualities such as no ego and high patience,
then find a female trader with accurate chart reading abilities and economics PHD....

throw in some money (the bankroll part is key)

and out pops a new trader.

The famous Turtle study conducted by Richard Dennis and Bill Eckhardt proved you can be taught to trade. But there was a selection process before the training. Not sure of the criteria but not everyone was a good candidate which then means you are born with certain traits that will make you a good trader. With that said, like anything else it's a complicated question, so I say that = both.

If I'm not mistaken, most great traders had mentors...

Anyway, let's trade.. yeah....

IMO traders are made. But................most people don't have the patience, persistence, funds or time to see the learning process through, which, time-wise, differs for everyone and eventually just give up without really finding out if they ever would have made it. So in this sense they are born too, with the necessary character traits but this has nothing to do with intelligence or the ability to study and learn chart analysis. Even a blind pig will stumble across the occasional truffle.

Actually, the are made in fraction of a second, then pickled to perfection over a nine month period before they are born. The retarded ones become retail traders but the most retarded start developing EAs. We are still trying to find a proper term for the ones who buy and use those EAs.
