Why is it that everyone thinks that they can be a successful trader?
What is it that motivates so many people to want to trade?
Is it the money? the ego? the testeroserone? something else?
And why do so many people feel they can learn the game in such a shot amount
of time?

I know If I wish to become a doctor it will take me about 8 years,
If I wish to become a barrister (Attourney) it will take me about 5 years,
A engineer about 5 years.......
I know that their are exceptions to every rule......

>From brokers I know world wide  I am told that many of their clients
disappear after 6 months because they have blown up....
That only about 18% are successful and that includes 2%+/- they are
incredibly successful.

The better brokers say that apart of their role is education....but they also
say that they get frustrated by people who are in a hurry and do not really
wish to learn...
A couple of brokers I know have left due to this frustration and are now
successful prop traders for themselves or for companies.

None of this inteded to offend anyone and if it does??
the old saying "if the hat fits....wear it"

Who cares anyway we need the liquidity in the market!
