Those professional traders who are successful do have certain characteristics in common. One such trader, nicknamed Big A, has pinpointed 5 charactristics:

1. Having a mentor is something successful traders invariably have. That is why it is a great help if you can adopt a mentor with proven success. You can accelerate your learning by having a mentor who is prepared to teach you his successful system.

2. Successful traders know how to remain detached from market frenzy, and keep their emotions out of trading decisions. Once you have entered a trade, you need to ask yourself if you can hold position until the pre-planned exit strategy is met? As BIG A admits, it can be great fun to see your tading account soar upwards in a few days, but paying too close an attention can be dangerous. His after market plan for trading will eliminate virtually all emotion, if you follow it with discipline.

3. Successful traders don’t “make things happen”. You may think you you can anticipate the market, but you can’t, and you will get hurt. Being a follower rather than a leader is a key to success. The idea of using a proven trading system is to follow it in a disciplined way; don’t venture outside of it. Impulsive, trigger happy mouse clicking should be done on a demo account, not live with your money. Don’t be tempted to think, when you get lucky once, that “making things happen” is the way to go; it isn’t. That is precisely why you should use a system, stick with it, and profit from the edge it gives you.

4. Thoughtful preparation, applying your system, is key to a successful trade. It is vital to not only have a trading plan, but stick to it whatever the market might be doing. You need to know how to plan each trade quickly and easily. Only 5-10 minutes per evening is needed to trade in BIG A’s ETF trading system.

5. Traders who are successful actually expect to become rich. Are you able to imagine yourself rich? Successful traders have had this vision. Do not limit yourself. The idea of prosperity should be within you before it can manifest outside. If not, your account may suffer as it reaches new heights due to a feeling you do not deserve riches. If you are held back from success by psychological barriers, then it is important to learn to overcome them. Your mentor can assist you with something like that.

Big A actually has his own exchange traded funds trend trading course, in which he teaches his own system of day trading for exchange-traded funds.
