Understand that a trader can be wrong 80% of the time and still be successful.

you SAID: Anything that was done by a man can be REPLICATED by another man.

you can't learn to trade, or take risk you must be BORN with a set of balls!!

BALLS aren't made they are born!

They are plenty of people with the balls. They can learn the art of trading all right.
Consider your example of dentistry as a profession:
If I know I don't have what it takes to become a dentist that does not mean that no other people can be taught dentistry.

Quote from the1:

This kind of logic will lead to financial ruin. I get a good laugh out of comments like this. You simply, positively cannot expect to be successful by winning 20% of the time - period! If you do then you are dependent on one big win or one win with big size. One slip on that big one and you're goose is cooked.

Thats exactly what many trend systems do. The point being that your win/loss% is also relevant to your system/style of trading.

Same logic goes that just because you have 80% winners doesn't mean you will make money.

Just making a point about the relative nature of examine such things and keeping them in the proper context. i have no desire to argue over what % of winners one needs to be successful.

There are no textbooks for the pocket pickers but still there are other ways to pass the trade secrets to a novice.
