"What type of trader are you ?"

Quote from Maverickz:

You are an Administrative Trader!

People who fit into this category have several of the qualities that make a good trader. You tend to be practical and realistic, and decisive. You move quickly to implement decisions and these are all good for trading. You love facts and what you think is concrete. You are very good at making sure that things run smoothly. As a result, you tend to be good at organizing projects and people to get things done the most efficient way possible...

One of your Trading Strengths

You should have no problems staying with and executing a simple trading system that someone gives you and you feel confident about.

One of your Trading Challenges

You love the details of trading system analysis and development so much but you can often be working on the wrong things. Your efforts can be misguided if you are following the wrong guidelines or advice.

Same here.
 
Uh..

You are an Adventurous Trader!

Generally you are a quiet and flexible observer until a problem appears and then you act quickly to find a solution. You are good at determining what makes things work and going through a large amount of information to find out what is important. This quality will help you immensely as a trader. You are not easily persuaded by anything that is not based on fact. However, if your orientation tends to be external, then you are probably a big risk taker...

One of your Trading Strengths

You're great at analyzing details to determine what makes things work.

One of your Trading Challenges

You might have problems with self analysis which is critical to eliminating mistakes in trading.



Is that good?

You like to plunge into things and just do it. And if it involves risk, you probably are even more intrigued by it.

90% right.
 
Quote from Thunderdog:

Not unlike a horoscope.

A few years ago, there was a segment on 20/20. University students in one class were told to write their name plus date and time of birth on a piece of paper. At the next class, they were given a "personalized" horoscope reading which they were told to read but not share with anyone else. They were overwhelmed with the "accuracy" and "specificity" of the reading, expressing utter amazement at how someone who didn't know them could, in fact, write about them in such "detail." The students were then told that each and every one of them had received the exact same report. Further, it was the horoscope reading of a prisoner on death row.


This is called the Forer effect

I'm still laughing at Thermactor's post and it was 4 pages ago.

I came out as an administrative trader.

I need to shut down my brain because I can only follow a simple system that someone provides for me.
