Do not try to erase the flaws
William Shakespeare once said that he would endow us with some flaws to make us more “human.”
Helen Keller also spoke as follows.
“Face your own flaws and acknowledge them. But do not let your flaws control you. Learn patience, kindness, and the ability to see through people from your flaws.”
“My flaw is that I have no flaws.”
There are people who say such things, but apparently there are apparently the worst and strongest flaws.
Jokes aside, when considering trading, I would like to look at the flaws inherent in human nature itself. Not whether a person's character is good or bad, but the behavioral traits unique to humans and the good and bad outcomes they produce.
Human behavioral traits are the “characteristics of a method” in trading.
Good results are “profit”,Bad results are “loss”.
People who speak little are naturally less likely to offend others, so they are less likely to be disliked by others, but they may be judged as “unpredictable” or “someone who holds back their words.” Conversely, people who speak a lot face the opposite situation.
People who act quickly on ideas are highly regarded for their “light footwork.” On the other hand, there are probably many trivial mistakes. Those who dislike easygoing actions may say, “your brain is muscle.”
Both good and bad results can occur.
You cannot change your traits from moment to moment.
It is natural to act with consideration of the time, place, and occasion (TPO), and it is common sense to adapt to countries, regions, and the people you interact with, but in a particular scope of work, it is natural to always maintain the same stance.
As a result, some things go well due to a person’s traits, and other things fail for the same reason. Rather than trying clumsy adjustments and creating awkwardness, it may be better to accept the results as they are.
Whether in private life or work life, there are strengths and weaknesses. The key is to focus on cases where you are strong as much as possible.
The relationship between trading methods and profits/losses is exactly the same.
We tend to worry about flaws, but flaws are inseparable from the strengths of the method; if you try to erase the flaws, the strengths disappear as well, or the whole thing would vanish if you tried to erase them.
It is natural to want to reduce cases where flaws lead to bad results, and trading involves striving for that path, but there is no perfect, illustrated solution, which is the fundamental principle.
