5 years ago I wrote a book called Successful trader. Mental state necessary for success in the market". When it came to initiation, I decided to dedicate the book “Traders, who don't want fame ". During my work, I had to meet many traders, who failed due to an inferiority complex. They felt like worthless losers, inferior people and were not sure of their life goals. For them, trading is a way to prove to themselves, that they are worth something in life. They feel, that the more money they have, the more they are significant as individuals. But in reality it’s not like that. Traders, who are looking for wealth and fame, as a rule, failure awaits. Modest traders become winners.
In today's competitive world, many are captivated by the thought of winning a zero-sum game: there can only be one winner, if you are not him, then you are a loser. The winner takes the loot, is not it?
I'm a football fan, what my regular readers know about. Watching the youth soccer championship this time of year. However, this year, as it seems, there is no clear winner in the BCS championship. Many teams, ranked first or second in rate ing, this year were among the losers. At the Pac conference 10, for example, many players of the leading teams are injured. This situation proves, that the moment often comes, when victory does not depend on you. Even the most careful preparation fails to help you avoid an event., which will completely destroy all plans. All you can do in this case, it is to show your best side, and submit to fate.
What attracts most newbies to trading? The money, is not it? But not everyone is motivated by money.. I remember one experienced trader, which the, passing the test, did not indicate making a profit as his main goal. I asked him: “What role does trading play in your life??». What is he, without blinking an eye, confidentially said: “Trade is definitely not a top priority in my life., and never will be. Spiritual development is in the first place for me, at least that's how it should be. From time to time I think about it, and I think, that for me this is the main priority ".
After that, I remembered that, what I read in the book "Trade, to defeat "Dr. Ari Kiev. He notes, that “traders strive for a future goal, obeying her and at the same time giving up thoughts of victory or success ". According to the doctor of Kiev, traders “trust a higher power, which helps them in self-realization, forces, which is inside them ".
What is the secret of success? In – first, you need to be humble enough, to understand, that there is no such thing as complete victory. In – second, it is important to learn to accept the fact, that despite our best efforts we cannot control the markets. It does not mean, that you shouldn't prepare and do your best, to increase the chances of success, but it is important to learn to live with the thought, that you are not sinless, that you can be wrong, and that humility and humility are virtues, to help you in the market.
