Yes, the more advanced mathematics you can come over, memorize it, use it well, forget it. It'll bring zhe $$$ profits and none will understand why, not even you. Also makes you mysterious and get zhe chicks!

This is a good lesson learned, and cheaply so. Please keep it with you, as it's more worth than gold. Even if it may seem to be alot of money to you now, you'd do better to investigate better opportunities that have more stable pay. It's not really recommended to trade for a living, although...

Any real trader potential will share those attributes. However, being around those whom you want to emulate is often a good reciple, to become that which you want to emulate.
