Many of the market wizards actually had multiple terrible failures as an amateur trade in their early days.

Most average traders would have simply given up on trading after experiencing a few rounds of negative experiences as a money losing trader.

However, one trait that differentiates these top traders from average traders was that they had absolute belief in their abilities to make things right in the end.

They persisted in honing their trading skills despite multiple failures because they had the kind of confidence in themselves, which average people do not have.

They were confident enough to try and try and try again until they made it in the end.
