Hello, friends!
Blog readers ask me — why it is necessary to educate the SPIRIT? Why is it for a trader?
It's that simple, friends.
99% of people, who come to financial markets, represent a completely homogeneous mass, having general tactical and technical characteristics.
There are players, gambling people.
Here is romance, well-read books like «Memories of a stock speculator».
There are rogues here, hungry for easy money.
Tired businessmen and entrepreneurs, in financial trouble or fearing for their future.
It's naive here, who was told, what is easy money — just put them in a pamm or click on the buttons and broadcast the deals of successful traders.
People here, who do not know how to complete their affairs, set long-term goals and adhere to a life strategy.
There is impatience, who rush through life in search of get rich quick.
Torn from life idealists, read books about the great Secret of attraction.
Cautious observers, who have been looking closely, but when they see, how from a hundred a thousand is made in a day or two — come running with a wad of money in a sweaty palm and say — что надо делать?
Novice Investors, who think, what investing — it's cool and prestigious.
Esoterics.
Студенты.
Well, why should these people develop the SPIRIT??
Well, think for yourself: all these people are hooked on cheap PR brokerage companies about working from home, free schedule, independence, financial prosperity, prestige of the trader's profession. Tempted with the thought, that you can become part of the financial culture — so distant and so tempting — Investment Banks, хедж фонды, the bigwigs of the investment business in the form of the Buffetts, черепах, Вильямсов…
Here are contests for perfecting strategies for every taste., here is the seduction of trust, here are the analyst contests. Tears of joy drip from my eyes from such abundance. And we go, like mice to the sound of a pipe from a famous fairy tale, Feeling, how life is filled with new, exciting, bewitching. Somewhere in the background, the jingle of coins, respect of colleagues, recognition of relatives.
I will say differently.
Всякий, who came to the financial market thus shows, that needs to be worked out in many areas of his life. General characteristics of a typical Pinocchio trader:
1. Excessive emotionality
2. Idealization of the world
3. Esoteric bias
4. Inability to resist whims and passions
5. Fatigue, physical and moral
6. Dissatisfaction with the surrounding world
7. Erudition, broad-minded
8. The prevalence of theory over practice
9. Availability «tails» In life — финансовых, моральных. Unfinished business and plans.
10. Dreaminess
11. Credulity
12. Faith in symbols, signs and other crap
A kind of Pinocchio in fact.
About signs from above, By the way, my observation: I am not a supporter of the division of the world into God and the Devil. However, I can say, what are all these signs, symbols, подсказки, that people find in the world around them, very often come with a conditional «темной» parties. Very often. They are — like fireflies in the night forest, which lead in a circle. The purpose of all these clues — keep you out of the vicious circle.
Although I admit, that they still play an important function — until, while the person is on them — he is weak and led. So let it spin in the woods, blues in his dreams. Почитайте, By the way, about one of the tricks of fooling the gullible in my article How to learn to walk on coals
And when he starts to smell his way — fireflies and troubles fall off and cannot knock such a person off the consciously chosen path, which is destined for man, not inspired
And there is such a metamorphosis — as soon as a person works his SPIRIT, your shortcomings — he is gradually moving away from trading, from these gambling, from financial markets and begins to go its own way.
I in no way wanna say, that all plankton is collected from financial markets. There is a lot of it everywhere.
But if you shove all the market participants into an armful, then you get the above picture.
God bless you, at least until the next blog update
