A Trader's Education

• We feel anger when markets gap and we get a bad fill.
• We learn that when our nose is pressed to the monitor, we are trading with too much size.
• We know the frustration of being shaken out—only to watch the position rebound and move higher.
• We feel the emptiness of watching a profit evaporate into a loss.
• We know the loneliness of holding a large position that refuses to move.
• We know the pain of taking a large loss.
• We feel the relief of being stopped out—especially when markets move further against our thinking.
• We discover the value of mental flexibility when we reverse our position and profit.
• We learn that volatility brings fatigue.
• We learn that no amount of screening or warning prepares clients for drawdowns.
• We feel satisfaction when markets confirm our position and our equity expands.
• We experience booms.
• We survive busts.
• We learn that feelings are inseparable from investing—understood by very few.
• So this is my trader's education.
• Feelings are central to the process, and through the markets we learn.
