I've been doing nothing but trading for a living for 15 years and make a great living and control my own world. Would guess that only one in a hundred people has the right combination of personality, discipline, and particular intelligence to make it work.
It's not that traders need to be smarter or more disciplined. They just need to be "market smart" and "market disciplined". I suck at art, music, geometry, calculus, and basketball to name a few but I have a knack for trading just like some people are good at golf or good with people.
If it seems to come easy and you like it, then go for it. If you just want to make money or think you can learn it from someone else, then forget it.
