Just take a moment... and think about this:
The device you most likely are holding while reading this post is computing your interests, logging what you like, records how you respond to engagements, listens to you and it uses all of this data to give you the experience of information comfort.
Ads seem to suggest items your choices in the past, that you don't keep track of, and you feel like it just so happen to pop up as a suggestion and how fortunate for you it did!
People who use terms you use, post with, liked posts by others using similar ideology and views, just find their way into your timeline... as if by fate!
This is done by Algorithmic means.
Now, in a industry that commands the wealth of the richest movers and shakers in trading... you think they are going to simply let the impulses of Buyers and Sellers muscle or "pressure" the markets and remove their firm control over them?
Their job was and is to give you the experience and illusion that you are trading a free market. Where Buyers and Sellers swing the proverbial pendulum of supply and demand forces in any instrument.
You really what to stick with that as your final answer? :)
El trading no es cuestión de adivinar, sino de esperar pacientemente a que el mercado te dé la razón o te enseñe una lección. La disciplina siempre paga más que la prisa.
Be habitual about it.
It is that time again...
When you reflect on what you did and didn't do this past week.
It is important to view it consistently as a means of measuring your ongoing progress as an Analyst and Trader.
If you reduce it to only harsh negative self-talk, you impede your growth and development.
If you elevate it to arrogance and ego-driven measurement against others, you are making your single ownership of your corporation a limiting partnership with toxic competition.
Everyone who views their efforts against anyone or everyone, is unknowingly causing their trading to be more difficult.
This is why the loudest or most judgemental have the hardest time holding winners, and losses undo them emotionally... as they seek public coddling and attention to soothe themselves.
Focus.
You are not in a competition with anyone. You are pursuing excellence and it is not merely an act... but rather a habit.
Have a great day.
