Ed Seykota is counted among the most successful speculators of all time and was profiled in the book "Market Wizards" – it should be pointed out that over the course of a 12 year period he turned $5,000 into over $15,000,000. He holds a degree in electrical engineering and industrial Management from MIT – so the guy ain't no dummy. Part of what's intriguing about him is that you don't hear him touting how much of a brilliant trader he is or anything that even remotely suggests arrogance. His blog is used a forum for people who's aim is to facilitate inner and personal growth – what they believe is the most essential factor in determining whether someone will achieve renown as a trader. So it seems wise to me that instead of focusing on specific trading ideas or the externals of Forex trading, to put more of an emphasis on developing one's inner self, an often overlooked aspect of trading. There is no question that if one is to achieve mastery in this area, that it guarantees one a key to the vault of the fortunes that lie waiting for you in the financial markets.
