The ability to take risk and more specifically, a loss. Then be unemotional about the outcome, good or bad.
2) What was the best trade you have ever made? ...
Most people trade their dreams for security as they move through life. I traded my security for my dreams and it was the best trade I ever did.
3) What was the riskiest trading decision you have ever made? ...
Every trade has risk, it's more about the balance of that with the reward. So even if you take a risky trade that OK if you have a defined payoff.
4) How do you stay abreast with the ever-changing markets? …
I relentlessly review my trades and data to see if I can improve or if something has changed. Most of the time I find nothing, but that's good also.
5) What strategies do you use to evaluate risk?
