And to knowledge, I'd add disposition. It's been years since I've been in finance, but the best traders I worked with were all very driven to succeed, to dominate, to win. Markets were really interesting to me, but I never cared much about that part.

Yeah, it's a performance discipline like any other (competitive gaming, athletics, etc) where only the top few % can succeed. If someone isn't very driven then they won't make it.
