Few days back I told a close friend that I was a trader when he ask me what I do for a living? When he had me say the word trader, before I could no turn to my left I saw the look on he face...
And from that day he started watching me closely where I live how expensive it's, the car I drove, the clothes I wear, the places I eat and he also was expecting to see more of the luxurious lifestyle that was going through his head...
To me I feel if people don't see this material things of life they just make a fast conclusion which will say "You are a profitable trader without this materials" why is this so?
What they will never understand is that skill being the vital factor in trading isn't just enough, and also one thing a have come to learn about trading for the pass 2year is that once you conquer the game of skill I gust you are at the top.....
It's very much simple to understand where the guy in question is coming from bro, people will mostly judge you on how you dress, looks and what kind of lifestyle you can afford, to be able to know if you are successful in what ever you are actually doing or not, because it's very much logical that you can't be telling me that you are a successful trader and you look hungry, tattered or unkept, you don't actually have to look too expensive by your looks, but you just have to look ok to me, so in my own opinion, it's a general thing.
And as for the last paragraph, yes, it's actually true that in trading having the required skills is just not enough to be successful, you need to master how to control your emotions, while having the required level of patience in other to be successful, because knowledge on technical and fundamental analysis alone is not just enough to be successful in the craft, but being perfect is actually not possible in trading, because you will definitely have a bad day even as a profitable trader.
