My last post was about what makes trading so attractive, and so dangerous. It marks a turning point in my own mindset towards trying to be a good trader. What Does a Good Trader Look Like? To me, a good trader is: never exposed to unlimited risk never over-leveraged does not steal from people for their return and, a good trader is someone who can: pay their living expenses with trading alone sustain that living over a 10 year period and can make a personal internal rate of return in excess of the total return of an equity index If you can’t do all of these things, I’m just not interested in how you trade.

Secondary Market Problems Aren’t Excellent I bought a used Elektron Octatrack DPS-1 on Reverb in the spring of 2023. The condition of the device was listed as “excellent”, and it seemed that way. By the time I had the hang of the device, I noticed the audio connections were spotty. Volume was inconsistent, and messing around with the connections gave me static and changing volume. I was sure that I had bought a $1,000 dud.
