A test- "Are you cut out for this"

Traden4Alpha · Jul 24, 2002

I see several higher-level tongue-in-cheek answers to how to interpret this test:

1) If you took the time to go through the test, you shouldn't be trading. Real traders don't leave their screens for ANYTHING!

2) Or, if you took the test seriously, it shows that you are not some knee-jerk, over-confident idiot who will blow up their account. You can be a good trader cuz you are always ready to take a step back and think about how to play the game.

3) If you desprately tried to figure out the "right answers" to the test questions, you are way too eager to please and should go get a regular job and kiss up to your boss.

But seriously, I would love to hear the answers as I am asking this question of myself right now!

I must say that I am flattered you have confused my posts with our good friend FasterPussy. I think he has a more eloquent command of the written word than I.

I am working on the key. Will be done in a few.

It comes down to trading, learning, results and discipline. I know many traders that have taken these tests as screening devices at various venues....MMs, prop firms, etc. From my personal experiences with them, there is no correlation between this and trading, except in extreme cases where the potential trader may have some serious issues.

Like chasinfla said...who cares? Just trade, study, learn and repeat.

Dang! What does drinking have to do with trading? You mean I
can't have a few drinks and crash my car into a tree and still be
a trader? What fun is that?...

No silly, this is the part of the test that determines how lucky you are. If you have been caught then luck factor low, if not then luck factor high. Get it? LOL
