Donna, I misread (skimmed) your actual use of the term "gifts" as trader attributes. In that case I agree... some people already possess certain personal traits or attributes that you labeled as "gifts" but it's all semantics. Those characteristics are vital for success. Nobody with zero exceptions can shortcut or crutch personal weaknesses with "automated" systems or taking some else's trade calls, etc.

Trading consistently is something that takes literally years of time to study, absorb and internalize. Unfortunately for most people who give this profession the gambler's dice roll, there is no way to pull it all together in a few weeks or couple of months. It takes years of focused, intense study to develop the deeply ingrained knowledge = skills necessary.

That amount of time is going to pass, whether someone gets serious and stays on track or dicks around with a dozen different directions in between. Might as well get ahold of something that works early on, and learn the hell out of that over the necessary time it takes everyone to internalize.

Exactly, if you can pull off those steps in a couple months each, you have "gifts"; if you crawl through the mud for a couple years or more, you have "strong work ethic" :D
