So that on not extremely large amounts (in some places up to a million dollars) building trend trading systems on the Moscow Exchange - you don't need a lot of intelligence. Not, how much you need. And reason, and patience, and a test program is still needed. However, it will manage, acceptable, any person with IQ 120 and without powerful loathing for arithmetic. However, it somehow does not become a large-scale fishery., right?
The entrance ticket is not that expensive, but the barrier is not really the highest ... Maybe - it's not in the mind?
By the way,, this is an idea. Trade ordinary, Natural, without fitting and therefore quite reliable trends - no one asks, let's say it like this, Courage. You can call it pofigism or Zen., if the desire is fine. Because 100 once said: the process is counterintuitive and disgusting to our animal psyche. A huge part of the time at zero or light losses, later quickly, for a certain number of days, slaughter your own mammoth. Later, for a certain period, you return part of the carcass back. That's not how people build a house., cultivate the garden, writing a book, etc.. In human exercises - small, but a tangible approach to the goal every day. So get us closer.
Plus there is the Kahneman proportion: the loss of the amount X we experience in some places two and a half times stronger, than we rejoice at income in the amount of the same X. If the profit factor of my systems in peacetime is somewhere and a half, and in haymaking - two, then according to Kahneman's proportion I should be unhappy. There is a need for PF 2,5, just to go to zero for feelings, and from three, to taste the satisfaction of life. And this is not among the usual models.. So that's all, who feels like an ordinary person, should abandon Trading like hell, Nervous, an unpleasant occupation for human nature.
That's why, may be, participants of exchange trades are paid for, that they are partially "non-humans".
However, there is another version, that a trader's income is not a payment for his very qualities (not like Superman), and for the uniqueness of their combination. For instance, approach to risk. Usually people or risk like (then you need it as much as possible), or don't like (then you need it as little as possible). Give a peaceful bourgeois therefore a deposit, player - 5th shoulder. But participants in exchange trading and an ordinary financier - he likes risk or not? Hardly very fond of, extra amateurs have long been killed. However, with all this - he takes a risk, there is no other way. This is the rarest type.. On the one side, he is a player, with another – anti-player.
The person looks at it acceptable, how in a couple of minutes the amount on his account decreases, on which he could live for a month or a year. This is one character trait A. However, with all this, he is constantly working on that, to reduce equity volatility. This is quality B. Themselves for themselves types A (brave player) & B (prudent risk manager) not so rarely seen in the population, but here is their combination ...
Imagine a person, who is seventy percent an armchair scientist and thirty percent filibuster of the southern seas. The proportion is taken at random, can substitute another. In any case, it is a curiosity. These people will not bite off a lot of the common pie, however, therefore, that such people themselves will never be so many.
