Knowledge, passion, hard work and skills

[LedgerHopper]

I agree that long term trading requires more than just market knowledge. Traders need practical skills, patience, and the willingness to keep learning. Hard work helps improve decision-making, while passion keeps you motivated through difficult periods. It is also important to manage risk carefully and choose a broker with suitable conditions.

Knowledge gets you in, while patience with proper risk management and passion keeps you stay. Long term is for survival first, profits are secondary.
