Some Good Trading Psychology Quotes

Recommended Posts

The trinity of successful trading:

 

1. A trader must accept loss.

 

2. A trader must accept the uncertainty of the results of any given trade.

 

3. A trader needs to think in terms of overall probabilities. (Trade for expectancy not accuracy.)

 

" Successful traders accept and expect losses. Losses are endemic to trading; they are the cost of doing business. The consistently successful trader accepts deep in his heart that his winnings will be tempered with inevitable loss. But the trader anticipates his ultimate triumph because he has structured the probabilities in his favor".----LBR

  • Assumption 1: We have not learned everything there is to know.
  • Assumption 2: What we have learned, unwittingly or by choice, may not be very useful with respect to fulfilling ourselves in some satisfying manner.
  • Assumption 3: What we have learned that is useful and works to our satisfaction is still subject to change because of changing environmental conditions.

"If you operate out of the foregoing assumptions, you will begin to recognize how every moment becomes a perfect indication of your state of development and what you need to do to improve yourself.

 

"When we refuse to acknowledge or accept the perfection of each moment in our lives, we deny ourselves access to the infomation that we need to expand ourselves. Any skill that we need to learn to express ourselves more effectively has a true starting point. To find that true starting point requires our acceptance of each outcome as a reflection of the sum total of who we are so that we can first indentify what skill needs to be learned and how we might go about the task of learning it. Without this true starting point, we will operate from a base of illusion. " Mark Douglas -- The Disciplined Trader

"To be a successful trader you need to trade without fear. When you use fear as a resource to limit yourself, you will create the very conditions you are trying to avoid. Or to say this another way, you will experience your fears." Mark Douglass -- The Disciplined Trader

Here are some novel ones:

 

“...to be a successful trader, I must love to lose money and hate to make

money...The first loss is the best loss; there is no better loss than the first

loss…Trading is a discipline.”

From EEK, (memoirs of CBOT member Everett Klipp (1995)).

 

“One of the critical criteria I use in judging my traders is their ability to take a

loss. If they can’t take a loss, they can’t trade.”

John Mack, Morgan Stanley CEO, in a 1991 deposition.

 

“If you have bad inventory, mark it down and sell it quickly.”

Attributed to Bear Stearns Chairman Alan “Ace” Greenburg, describing

his penchant for quickly selling losing trades, in the Wall Street Journal (“If Wall Street were Olympian, He’d Ace the Marathon,” March 8, 1999).

 

“...so, as our discipline requires, we sold.”

J. Stowers, CEO, American Century Funds, in a 12/10/97 letter to investors.

 

“Never meet a margin call. (In other words, if the market is going against you,

concede defeat quickly and liquidate before you really lose your shirt.)”

James Grant, editor, Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, quoted in

BusinessWeek (“Failed Wizards of Wall Street,” September 21, 1998).

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
