Mindset Of The Millionaire TradersThe world’s top traders may all have different methods for making moneybut they all tend to share the same personality traits that make themgreat traders. To be a successful trader you must approach the marketswith the right attitude. Here, I have isolated ten key traits that the world’stop traders have if you are going to achieve longer-term success.Ten Personality Traits To Make You Successful!You Are ResponsibleYou are in charge of your own destiny and responsible for your ownactions. No one else can be blamed. In today’s society this seems to be analien trait to many people. There is always someone to blame. The fact is,if you want to trade successfully, you need to take actions and understandthat you, alone, are responsible - no one else. Traders who lose are quickto blame the friend they got the tip from, the newspaper they read thestory in, or their broker. It’s everyone’s fault but their own. When youplace a trade you need to evaluate it yourself and understand that you areresponsible for its pro t or loss. This leads on to understanding the environment you are operating in and arehappy to accept the loss or pro t as your own.EducationMany traders take tips from friend’s brokers and newspapers without knowing how and why the marketsreally work; they are of course doomed to fail. Youwould not try and drive a car without having lessonsand the same applies to trading. You need to studyand learn about trading before you start to trade. This may sound obvious but the bulk of traders don’t bother to learn the basics. You needto spend time reading about all the aspects from psychology to differentapproaches and methods. Once you have learned about the environmentyou are working in you need to derive a method you are comfortablewith.Develop Your Own MethodThe method you develop should be one that is compatible with yourpersonality and what you have learned. The approach you adopt mustbe comfortable for you. Randy Mackay, one of the worlds top tradersasserted: “Virtually every successful trader I know ultimately ended upwith a trading style suited to their personality.” This is one of the reasons

many traders who purchase systems off the shelf don’t make money, evenif the system is a good one. While the odds of nding a good system aresmall, the odds of getting a system that ts your personality are smallerstill. If you can’t stand to give back pro t then a longer term tradingsystem will not suit your personality, even though it may be pro tableover time. You have lots of different methods you can trade: Long term,short term, breakouts, reversals, the list is endless. You need to decidewhich one you are comfortable with, and which one you fully understandthe logic of, and which one you are con dent will work for you.Con denceAll successful traders have con dence that they will succeed longer termin their aim to make money. This is a universal characteristic amongstthe top traders and stems from the points we have just covered. Dr VanTharpe a psychologist who has studied the world’s top traders and thepersonality traits that make them successful, concluded that winning traders believe “they have won the game before they start”DisciplineDiscipline stems from con dence. It is the one trait that every top traderwhen interviewed refers to and its importance cannot be over estimated.There are two reasons why discipline is so critical:1.First, it will help you maintain proper risk control, and allow to execute trades in accordance with your method during a losing streakthat all systems suffer.2.Second, it stops you from secondguessing your system. If you do thisyou will almost always get it wrong.Why? Because you will tend to pick thecomfortable trades, and these are not theones that are likely to make money longerterm. Bill Eckhardt a trader who helped trainthe world famous turtle traders once said“what feels good is often the wrong thingto do” and this is very true in trading. It’sdif cult to take trades when your friends,newspapers and your broker tell you otherwise. But successful tradersdon’t believe in running with the herd and feeling comfortable. Theybelieve in making money. Being disciplined and feeling uncomfortableis necessary for longer-term success. You are never immune from bad

trading habits. None of us are - we are all emotional beings. The bestthat you can do is suppress your emotions and having discipline, and isessential to keep them in check.Assume The Worst - Money ManagementMany traders only think of the pro ts they can make from a trade, butnever consider the worst eventuality. They are blinded by greed. Thefact is that all the top traders tend to know their downside as soon asthey enter a trade, and decide whether the risk of the trade is worthtaking. Money management is essential for trading success, and by alwaysassuming the worst, you can decide if the risk reward of the trade is rightfor you. As a broker once said to me about trading, “Always assume theworst and you wont be disappointed. Things can only get better.”No system makes money all of the time and no top trader does either, soit is important in these losing periods to have strict money managementcriteria in place to help you preserve your equity as best you can. Moneymanagement is, perhaps, more important than your trading method itself.You may have a successful system, but if it loses all your money quicklyand recovers when you have lost your stake, it is of little use. You needto reserve your equity so you can stay in the game longer term. Alwaysdecide if you can take the prospect of the worst eventuality in relation toyour trading capital.Know What Your Edge IsIt is a fact that 90% of traders lose money longer term. Your edge is whatseparates you from them. Any successful trader has something that setshis or her method and personality apart from the majority and enablesthem to make money when others lose. You need an edge that you cande ne and gives you con dence that you can beat the herd. If you don’tknow what your edge is, you don’t have one!Love What You Are DoingTrading is mentally demanding. It’s tough and not all traders are suited toit. To illustrate how tough it can be, I have known several traders commitsuicide after taking heavy losses. This is an extreme, but you get the picture of the demands it can put on someone’s personality. As in all walks oflife, not everyone is cut out to be a trader. If the market makes you angry,frustrated, or all you can think about is trades you have on and nothingelse, then trading is not for you. All the worlds top traders enjoy what theydo. They know at the end of the day they will make money, which is thewhole aim of trading in the rst place. They enjoy the challenge and the

rewards trading can bring, and can handle the stress that is an inevitablepart of trading.Final WordsMany of the above traits may seem obvious, but the bulk of traders don’tpossess them and that’s why they are doomed to failure. If you want tobe successful in trading, you need to be aware of your personality. Youneed to know the environment you are working in and decide if tradingis right for you. Trading is one of the greatest challenges around andwith adequate education and preparation, can yield immense rewards forthose willing to accept the challenge.

For me, being a millionaire is not a question of money in the bank. I was very honest when I responded that I was a millionaire before selling the business, and this is how I felt.
