Traders and investors are very different beasts; sure, both are looking for profit, but they go about it in very different ways and each path has a very different route to success.
 
For the investor it is about time; there are numerous different methods to investing but the more time the easier it is. So start today, not tomorrow.
 
For the trader it is about risk and discipline; know your risk, manage it well and always be disciplined. Know when you'll buy, when you'll sell and when you'll sit on your hands and do nothing.
 
If you are a trader and an investor always be very clear on which path you're taking for a particular stock when you are buying. Why you buy it will define when you sell it.
