An honest rating of yourself as a trader...

[JMowery1987]

What would you HONESTLY rate yourself as a trader.

This does not necessarily mean by measure of profits either.

Do you really put in all the effort you could/should/would? Do you feel that you could always do something better? Do you think you have it made?

10 being the greatest and you can't get any better
9
8
7
6
5 average
4
3
2
1 being worst and you can't get any lower


I'd honestly be shocked if I see anyone mark a 10 or a 1.






I'm giving myself a 6, because I put much effort into this, and I have been here for over a year now doing this and although if I was going to rate myself based on my returns, I'd probably get a 4, I'm rating myself based on everything I learned and how I've learned so much from when I have started, to going from asking stupid questions, to actually helping others.

So, just curious where everyone thinks they stand.

My question is, how can you have mastered 3, 11 and 12 and still not have mastered 1 and 2? Seems to me 1 and 2 are the backbone for many of the skills a trader must have to be successful...so if I were going to master anything, I'd start with those.

Cheers

Edit: I gave myself a 3.
