The Ultimate Trader Blueprint: Would You Bet £1,000,000 on Yourself?
Strategy, personality, and experience — the three traits that separate durable traders from lucky streaks.
Let’s play a game…
You’ve decided to deploy £1,000,000 of your own money and back a trader.
You’re not afraid of risk.
But you definitely don’t want to watch someone blow up. 
So here’s the question:
What strategy and personality traits are you looking for?
THE ULTIMATE TRADER
Because we both know that performance isn’t enough.
You don’t want to back some guy who got lucky for 12 months…
You want durability. You want edge. You want a trader built for all market conditions.
So… what exactly are you looking for?
Strategy:
You want someone direction-agnostic, or at least diversified across strategies.
Why?
Because markets change.
Regimes shift.
The edge that crushed it last quarter might get mashed the next.
No point backing a bull market genius who tilts when the VIX spikes. 
Personality:
You’re watching for composure.
Someone who stays calm under pressure.
No over-sizing. No revenge trades. No trade frequency spikes after a loss.
Ambitious, yes, it’s a must.
But measured.
Humble, but confident.
No huge egos. No chest beating…
Experience:
You want scars…
Someone who’s been down.
Fought through drawdown.
Clawed back… not once but multiple times.
Someone who’s stared at doubt…
And responded with execution.
Alright, so what’s the point of all this?
Simple…
You’re not hiring a trader.
You’re becoming one.
This isn’t a thought experiment.
It’s a standard.
And if you wouldn’t back yourself with serious money? Well, maybe it’s time to fix that…
Now your job is clear:
Build the trader you’d bet your own capital on.
