The ferrari's and strippers is why I became a trader.
A number of things.
The ability to grasp complex mathematical concepts and data quickly and easily.
The tendency to think in terms of style more than substance and viewing knowledge qualitatively more than quantitatively.
Organizational skills.
Being motivated more by mental challenges than by greed, allowing detachment from emotions associated with greed.
The need to have a deep connection to the world of technology and energy.
derq,
I wish you the best of luck.
Trading is something that is learned with experience. Get in there, and give it a shot. But don't just open an account and expect to start making a living. To make a living in this business, you need sufficient capital, say $100k. Can you do it with less? Of course. But have realistic goals. Build consistency. Once you have consistency, all you have to do is trade larger size.
Just my 2 cents. good luck.
