Trade is in it for a dreamer (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idealist

'a dreamer' is the definition.
('idealist' can be a synonym of 'dreamer')

'trade is in it' is the wordplay.
'trade' becomes 'deal' (synonyms).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'deal'+'is'='dealis'
'dealis' put into 'it' is 'IDEALIST'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for idealist that I've seen before include "Dreamer" , "One has high hopes" , "An optimist or romantic" , "Perfectionist" , "Person with lofty and unselfish aspirations" .)
