Are great traders made or born?

Ha ha ha. I like the way he felt like a loser when he lost his losing touch. Irony at it's best. Contrarian? Or just a schmuck?

Yes, I know a bunch of guys who have only been trading for 2-3 years fulltime that are successful and consistently profitable (up at least 10K every month net). We all are fulltimers so all our energy and focus has been on trading since we started. I agree that parttime, it would be much harder to get to that level after only 2 years.

Quote from watchdaride:

I doubt you have anyone only trading for 2 years can be a fulltime trader or at least be consistent .. I agree with the 5 year experience . I have been trading 3 years parttime and profit most months but i still fall off the wagon when i get over confident and loose alot of profit.

If a person was only allowed to trade between the hours of 2pm and 3pm each day, U.S. time, should this or would this effect thier win/loss ratio?

Should a great trader be great because of his/her profits? Or because of his/her win/loss ratio? Maybe because of thier R:R ratio? Which one is it? Time frame? Who knows? Should there be a traders trader award?
