A Trader's Education

• We feel anger when markets gap and we get a bad fill.
• We learn that when our nose is touching the monitor we are trading with too much size.
• We feel the frustration of being shaken out only to watch our position rebound and go higher.
• We feel the emptiness of watching a profit evaporate into a loss.
• We feel the loneliness of holding a large position when it has not moved.
• We feel the pain and agony of taking a big loss.
• We feel relief.
• We feel even better when we watch it drop further.
• We feel damn brilliant if we had the courage to reverse and find ourselves short.
• We learn that trading with high volatility causes fatigue.
• We learn that no matter how much one pre-screens clients and warns about drawdowns, they may not ever understand.
• We feel the joy of making good moves and watching our equity expand.
• We learn about booms.
• We learn about busts.
• We learn that all these feelings are central to investing as few will ever know.
• So maybe this little poem, if that is what we want to call it, will give you a trader's education.
• Because feelings are most central in the trading process, and through the markets we learn.
