Quote from fatman:

I seem to hear a lot of people talk about "good traders" or how a firm had "Great trader". What is a good/great trader. Does it have to do with makin $$$$, or having a good risk reward ratio when you trade, or is it just doing the extra little things like keeping a detailed trading log/plan?

What are your thoughts? What makes a trader good/great?

A good trader makes money every month..

A great trader makes money every single day.

Both require knowledge, iron discipline, and a near obsession with improving.

My definition of a good trader to those who probably don't care, is an individual with his own ideas and style. A good trader has his good and bad days but is consistent, not deviating from his plan of action by those around him.

do your own r&d

 

[topguntrader]

One who is passionate about trading
One who protects his account to survive another day.
One who is independent and does not follow the crowd.
One who is his own boss and follows his own insticts.
One who is not afraid to take risks.
One who confident about his abilities.

is in my humble opionen one who made over 5 years every year a profit of greater then 20% with a max intraday draw down as low as 5%.

But I think there are very few people who can do this.
