It is a proven fact that the great traders are schizotypal paranoids and generally sociopathic and/or bipolar. The vast majority can be aggressive or passive but are otherwise generally normal and make up the average market participant.
Case in point, he is the guy who is buying without a drop of sweat when billion dollar funds are peeing in their pants and literally in liquidation. He is the guy who is saying short when buying is all the rage at cocktail parties.

my trading is like an extreme sport. like making a triple backflip on the snowboard over a 35 meters cliff.
for that a little bit of arrogance is not false. the selfconfidence will come when you in the air, over the cliff. or shall i say when you be in the trade.
arrogance creates selfconfidence creates arrogance creates selfonfidendce creates arrogance
