Love to Trade

The successful trader LOVES TO TRADE.

Trading is almost an addiction for these folks. They have been known to dread weekends and holidays, and may avoid vacations (or at least trade every day of the vacation).

These guys can't imagine ever retiring, because they're having too much fun. They feel as though they were born to trade, and that they've found their life's calling. They enjoy it so much, that they think about trading for most of their waking hours. Instead of wondering who is playing the late Sunday football game, they are wondering where the futures are opening. Instead of laying in a hamock, thinking about the latest electronics game or audio system, they are pondering methods to improve their trading strategy.

Because of their 'love of the game' and constant focus on the financial markets, they tend to learn faster and retain information better than their peers, for whom trading is just a "job".

People always tend to excel at things they love, and this is certainly true with trading.
