Not suited to being a trader—the idea of "suited or not" only exists from the perspective of whether you find it enjoyable.

Personally, what I feel is

If you think of it as the statement “You’re not suited to be a trader”

That’s probably “almost not suited” and “no one is suited,” in other words from the perspective of suited vs unsuited

Everyone can say no to it; the market is so irreversible that it’s not a matter of suited or not

The notion of being suited or not

is simply whether you find it enjoyable

That is not when you are profitable

It is only about whether you can enjoy a situation where you’re losing

If you don’t find that enjoyable

then you’re just saying “You’re not suited”

During a loss

Whether you are holding a position, averaging down, or having just settled a loss

It’s only about whether you can enjoy the mental burden you’re facing

If you can’t enjoy that, then you’re not suited as a trader

However, seminar people everywhere

try to point out whether traders are suited or not in the market

That is completely off the mark

Because it’s meaningless unless you consider the trader as an individual

Here, it’s about whether you can enjoy the burden, and nothing else

Trading is a solitary profession

No matter how many decades you do it, you’ll never be fully recognized by anyone, and you’ll have no supporters

There are no fans; if there were, they’d just be seminar people, and even without seminars you’d be “seminar-poser.”

If you look at Murakami and what happened afterward, you’ll understand—ultimately they only become seminar people or advertising figures

From the start, traders are lonely gamblers who aren’t recognized by anyone

If you don’t like that, I think you should challenge yourself in any field

For example, if you wanted to be a singer

Nowadays you’d still get music videos made and songs written for you

And at a low cost

Doing something that no one would acknowledge is pointless

If you have a dream, you should spend funds there

Being a trader was never something you start with

In other words, even trying to earn a living as a trader

I would never recommend becoming a trader

Those who do so are basically “crazy” (laugh)

If you do it, you should take it seriously

If you lose your funds about ten times, just stop and say you’re not suited

Because those ten losses represent

Proof that you can’t follow the rules

Because the rules and trading itself are dangerous

I recommend at least reading a book on probabilistic thinking

If you’ve shorted funds ten times, you should quit

Because the same situation will continue afterward

From the start there is no “profitable wave”

There won’t be a pleasant phrase like “the sprouts blossomed”

That’s why it’s frustrating to see in manga or anime a depiction that a trader succeeded

Traders are serious more than anything else, and

I want you to understand it’s a lonely profession that no one acknowledges

If you can enjoy the mental burden

It means you can also apply probabilistic thinking directly to trading

Gambling is also all about probabilistic thinking, as described in that book

If you read that book and trade and still fail, then you’re not suited, so stop

That way you won’t waste a long, useless time
