Quote from GetMeThere:
I wouldn't use the word "aggressive."
IMO the ideal trader demeanor is that of a predator. Predators are actually very careful--even shy. If things aren't just right they back away and wait for another opportunity. But when they spot GENUINE WEAKNESS...when they KNOW they're about to have a mouthful of blood--then they're THERE...and they take it all...and nothing will stop them.
Yes, like a predator. I know that point.
But do you know, that in reality predators like lions or cheetas are not so successfull how you think they are.
1. point = they try to hunt their food down a lot of times more than they will succeed and kill it. for example, they attack 10 times each one on a different time, and they will kill it only about 3-4 times of that. thats the true. Animal life is much harder than humans life.
2. point = predator animals, have to succeed to survive in a certain time or they are starved to dead - a successfull trader have not to make money in a certain time, if the trader have safed enough money for living, - its very much relaxder.
A lion will not kill another 5 anthilopes, just for build up his anthilopes account. When the lion have enough dead meat for him and his tribe, he has his satisfaction and is happy for the next few days, unitl all starts again.
A trader need to have a kicker in his ass, to get up and work hard to get richer and richer. Thats the difference.....
For that you need some kind of aggression, that gives yourself the necessary kick in your ass.
