There is a certain magic space created by 4 viewing screens. You should try it sometime. After 4, you feel like a piker with just your laptop.
I suppose that you can learn anything over time. I'm smart and I think I can do this. I'm not ruthless and I also think I can do this. The common belief is that if one person wins big in the trading room then one person will loose bigtime to compensate...the butterfly effect in the money pits...but not true.

Nice makes nice.
Gotta concentrate on that.
