On the stock market - preposition
1. I am trading on the stock market.
2. I want to trade successfully on the stock market.
3. I want to be successful on/the stock market.
Are my prepositions okay? I put "on" in #1,2 and I lean towards "the" in #3 (although I think either is okay). Do you agree? Thank you.

Anonymous and I lean towards "the" in #3"The" is not a preposition.
You need a preposition in sentence #3.
You also need "the" as an article.

AlpheccaStars, I know. I edited my question (see above). Are you okay with my prepositions for all four?
#1-2 - I prefer "on", but either works
#3-4 - I prefer "in", but either works

#3-4 - I prefer "in", but either works
