Many factors will impact your trading success, but all of them are a function of your emotions and thinking to some degree. Even the way you view a chart or fundamentals are determined in part by your emotional and psychological makeup.
There are certain emotional traits that many successful traders have in common. Some are born with these traits while others will have to actively cultivate them. While it may not feel natural for you to think and act in a certain way, if you cultivate those emotions you can change your behavior and thinking over time.
Three key personality traits tend to lead to successful trading: optimism, persistence and an acceptance of reality.
