Not suited for traders. The idea of suitable or not suitable only concerns whether you feel it is enjoyable.

Personally, what I feel is

If you consider it from the statement “You’re not suited to be a trader,”

then most likely you’re “not suited at all” and also “nobody is suited,” in other words from the perspective of suited vs unsuited

everyone can say no; the market is so irreversible that it isn’t a matter of suited or unsuited

The view of being suited or not suited

is simply whether it feels enjoyable

and that is not when you’re making profits

it’s only about whether you can enjoy the situation when you’re losing

If you don’t find that enjoyable

then you’re like, “I’m not suited”

while you’re losing

whether you’re holding a position, averaging down, or after you’ve closed a loss

the only perspective is whether you can enjoy the mental burden

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

However, many seminar hosts

try to indicate 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 a single entity

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

Trading is a solitary occupation

even after tens of years, you won’t be recognized by anyone and you won’t have any supporters

there are no fans; if there were, they’d just be seminar hosts, and even without seminars you’d be a “seminar host impostor”

If you look at Murakami and what happened afterward, you’ll understand—ultimately you’ll just become a seminar host or an advertising figure

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

If you dislike that, then I think you should challenge yourself in whatever genre

For example, if you wanted to be a singer

even now you can get someone to make a music video and compose songs for you

and even at a low cost

There’s no point chasing something that won’t be recognized by anyone like this

If you have a dream, you should invest resources there

Being a trader isn’t something you start with

and even if you try to make a living as a trader

I certainly wouldn’t recommend becoming a trader

Anyone who does is basically “crazy” (laugh)

If you do it, you have to take it seriously

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

Because those ten rounds of capital shortfalls

prove you aren’t following the rules

because the rules and trading itself are dangerous

At least read Thinking in Probabilities

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

The same situation will just continue afterward

From the start there is no “wave of profit”

There isn’t any pleasant phrase like “the芽 has bloomed”

That’s why it makes me angry when you see stupid depictions in manga of traders succeeding

Because being a trader is truly nothing but seriousness

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

Being able to enjoy mental strain also means

you can apply probability thinking directly to trading

Gambling itself is exactly as the probability thinking book describes

If you read that book and trade and it doesn’t work, then you’re not suited, so stop

This saves you from wasting a long, long amount of time
