[The Trading] The market is not interested in you. The "7 Pro Rules" to abandon emotional trading?
Let me start with the conclusion. The market has not one millimeter of interest in you, and there is no malice.To win, you must stop trying to control the market and simply control your own actions.
? The market is a “great sea”
When a position you held drops sharply, do you feel anger or fear at the market, thinking, “Why is this happening to me alone?” However, these emotions exist only inside your mind and have nothing to do with the market.
The market just moves up and down repeatedly:It moves whether you like it or not.
There is no malice in the market:It doesn’t care whether you are safe, and it has no intention to harm you.
A skilled sailor does not try to control the sea. They study currents and weather, using intelligence to navigate. If a storm strikes, they reduce the shock to the ship by furling sails. Traders should do the same: when hit by a market surprise or feeling stressed, reduce position size to cope.
? Have you become a monkey angry at a stump?
Losing money in the market and going into a rage is like a monkey who, after tripping over a “stump,” kicks it away and hurts its own leg more.
Doubling down to avoid a loss.
Rushing to recover losses with a quick reversal (reverse trade).
These are not actions using intelligence; they are monkey-like behaviors driven by emotion. Getting angry or fearful at the market only leads to your own ruin.
