More on teachability: 
Being teachable is a critical determinant of success in acquiring and mastering new skills, particularly in complex and fast-paced environments such as trading. Scientific research from the fields of educational psychology and behavioral economics emphasizes the importance of teachability in adapting to new information and evolving market scenarios. Individuals who exhibit high levels of teachability are more likely to engage in deliberate practice, a key component in skill acquisition which involves persistent and focused efforts towards improvement. Teachability allows traders to remain open to feedback and new strategies, facilitating continuous learning and the ability to adjust to market volatility and uncertainty. This adaptability not only enhances their immediate skill set but also contributes to long-term success by fostering a growth mindset, essential for navigating the ever-changing landscape of the trading world.
