Five Characteristics of Successful Traders Uncovered

Posted by Patrick Ames 4 August, 2009 (0) Comment

As a former money manager I associated with a lot of other money managers. Some of them were successful, some of them were not and none of them ever taught their systems. They all said I was crazy when I said I was going to teach my system. But knowing what I know about volume and liquidity on the daily charts I knew I would not be hurting myself. No trader worth their salt would ever share their system if it hurt their own fills and performance no matter how “nice” they seem. ... Read More
