Re: So You Think You Can Trade?

One nice article Doc

>>This type of thinking borders the delusional.
Now this I can do.
The bigger problem is sorting out what isn't delusional.
The learning curve is not just steep but also deep at times.

>>Trading is simple, but it is not easy.
That is one of the most confusing aspects.

>>one must progress on a path, which is mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. For many, this is the most difficult journey ever taken.
It surprises me how comprehensive that re-education gets, stuff you don't expect to be an issue becomes a stumbling block. It finds the self-deception little by little.

>>Every trader must climb the four rungs of the Ladder of Learning, and must do this one step at a time. You cannot skip a step, but if you let your guard down, do not continue to study and practice, you can and will fall down a step or two.
Exactly what is happening, bouncing between competence and incompitunce.
Seems like every time I learn something new, it throws me off track for a while. Yet the sand is forever shifting.
If you fail, its because you didn't think.
But it is also often that fact that you did think that caused you to fail.
It wasn't the right thought or it wasn't the right time to be questioning.
Then its back to "what do I know, what do I rely on for trading?".
Clear out the distraction and get back on track.
As you say, its simple but its not easy.
How many strands are there in this can of spaghetti?
