by Cannon Trading staff
Is it intelligence? No. If it were, then doctors, lawyers, and engineers would make the best traders.
Is it the latest software program? No. If it were then the developers of the "magic black boxes" would be the best traders.
Is it experience? No. If it were then all successful traders would be bald or have gray hair, and we know this is not the case.
Is it those that have inside information? No. Be real. In today's trading world data and information are global and instantaneous.
I'll tell you. It is one factor. An all encompassing trait that successful traders have in common. They can be male or female, young or old, experienced or novice traders. What is it?
