A good trader is one who has developed the skills or system that allows him to limit his/her losses or in some other way make sure that the winners exceed the losers at the end of the day. I know several people on SI who play every signal of their system. The number of wins and losses are about the same but the winners statistically are about 3 times larger than the losers. Losses are a fact of life in trading. To stay in the game, a disciplined way to limit the losses is the key. Anyone who doesn't/hasn't won't be around very long.
