There are benefits in working alone as well as with other traders. However, most of the times, from what I have experienced via chat rooms, is that other traders may slow you down. To be successful, you need to be trading under optimal conditions.
The search of finding a complimenting trader that produces a synergistic result is hard to find. If you do find one, then consider yourself lucky.
I trade solo, but hoping that one day I can have a tight team of 4-6 traders to work with.
Same here.
I think it can be useful to have someone looking over your shoulder or checking your blotter, just to make sure you aren't in a brain freeze or lost in denial.
Most of us are too independent to allow that however.
