我們想結識的偉大的交易員都有一些共同的特質，值得我們學習、模仿：
他們有同理心，樂於傾聽。
他們相信自己能夠搞定生活中和工作中的問題。
他們謙虛，能夠心平氣和地接受失敗。
他們為了更多的成功會去努力，而不是空想。
他們聽的比說的多。他們有兩個耳朵一張嘴，使用的頻率與器官數量是成正比的。他們會傾聽自己的内心，也會傾聽市場，他們對成功有著嚴格的要求。
他們對自己的能力有著堅定的信心，他們會接受失誤和失控，因為他早已進行了規劃。對自己和他人的極度誠實為他們建立起超越常人的自信。
他們謙虛，他們明白自己並不比別人聰明、強壯、博學，他們只是擁有更堅定的信念，相信自己會度過難關達成目標。
相信自己能夠搞定問題，虛心地接受失敗，這是他們的特質，也是所有偉大交易員的特質。偉大的人不會受到週遭負面消息的影響，他們有目標、有計劃，他們會成功的。雖然成功需要一些時間，他們會遭受挫折，但他們不會被困難壓倒，他們會進行規劃。
成功的交易員的計劃是經過不斷修正、拓展和測試的，他們的計劃通常以日為單位。他們將計劃視為未完成的作品而不是不可侵犯的聖杯。成功的交易員了解永遠有未知的東西需要學習，無論今天的表現有多好，明天都會有繼續提升的空間。
齊格勒說：“你沒有計劃？為什麼？沒有計劃的交易就像進入了未知的領域。”如果成功，你會收獲頗豐，但若沒有計劃，成功便不會到來。
成功不是用金錢數量來衡量的，成功起源於内心的信念、傾聽的能力以及做好的計劃。只有做好計劃，才有機會獲得財務自由。
Defining A Great Trader
Great traders that we have had the pleasure to know and to be around, on exchange floors and on trade desks, had certain repeatable traits that all level traders can learn, or take something from;
Empathy and the ability to listen.
Faith in their own ability to get things done, if life and in work.
Humility, and a willingness to accept defeat as graciously as accepting success.
Desire to work towards, and not to just expect, having more success than defeat.
They listened more than they spoke. They had two ears and one mouth and had learned to use them in the right proportion. The ability to listen, either to a mentor, to your inner self, or to the market, is critical for success.
They had an undying faith and belief in their own ability, and accepted that most things that went wrong were probably outside of their control, because they planned their work. Their brutal honesty with themselves and with others allowed them to develop a faith in their own ability that was beyond the norm.
They were humble, and understood that they were not smarter, stronger, nor wiser than others; they just knew that there were few others that had more faith in their own ability to follow something through and to achieve their goals.
They had faith that they could get it done, and humility to accept defeat; that is what defined them, and usually defines any great trader. The great ones in life, and on the floors, are the ones who are not susceptible to the negative influence of others, they have a goal, they have a plan, and they will get there. It may take time, they may fail along the way, but they just will not let things overwhelm them as they plot their course.
Successful traders have a plan that they refine, develop and test, and debrief on a daily basis. They share their plan as a work in motion, and not as the Holy Grail. A successful trader accepts that there is always something new to learn, and however good the plan is today, there will be the chance to improve it tomorrow.
Zig Ziegler says; "You are working with no plan? Why? Working without a plan is about as difficult as trying to come back from somewhere that you have never been". You will become profitable if you achieve success, but success rarely comes without a plan.
Success is not counted in cash; success starts with an inner faith, the ability to listen, and in having a plan. However, financial freedom only comes by following the plan.
