What Makes a Successful Trader? | Secrets of the Institutional Trader | Part 2

In part 2 of the 4-part series, Trevor Neil uncovers what makes a successful trader, looking at the ideal characteristics, as well as the ones to avoid. Trevor shares his learnings to become a more successful trader, including treating trading like a game of chess.

He talks about female versus male traders, and the underlying differences between them, and how one would select proprietary traders for institutions, including the difficulties with finding prop traders. He reflects on his experience finding prop traders in Prague and what qualities he looks for in a successful trader.

Trevor highlights why extreme overconfidence and being too concentrated can lead to 'blow-out', and why it can pay to remain calm under pressure.
