understanding the trading mind from neuro science and psychaitry

Jesse Livermore, he made millions and lost it all.

He seems to have had serious depression and bipolar mood disorders, when his downward spiral started...

Trading automatically penalizes mood disorders ruthlessly unlike other professions.

If Jesse had become a professor he would have coasted along and still would have been receiving his paychecks and honorable diplomas but markets and life had a different plan for him.

Just wondering, how long do you have to be profitable to be termed as a successful trader?? 1 year, 2 years??

Time is immaterial.It is the return on investment after expenses and taxation!! As simple as that..It is the ultimate result card.
