38 Steps to Becoming a Successful Trader
- We accumulate information - buying books, going to seminars and researching.
- We begin to trade with our 'new' knowledge.
- We consistently 'donate' and then realise we may need more knowledge or information.
- We accumulate more information.
- We switch the commodities we are currently following.
- We go back into the market and trade with our 'updated' knowledge.
- We get 'beat up' again and begin to lose some of our confidence. Fear starts setting in.
- We start to listen to 'outside news' and to other traders.
- We go back into the market and continue to 'donate'.
- We switch commodities again.
- We search for more information.
- We go back into the market and start to see a little progress.
- We get 'over-confident' and the market humbles us.
- We start to understand that trading successfully is going to take more time and more knowledge than we anticipated.
- We get serious and start concentrating on learning a 'real' methodology.
- We trade our methodology with some success, but realise that something is missing.
- We begin to understand the need for having rules to apply our methodology.
- We take a sabbatical from trading to develop and research our trading rules.
- We start trading again, this time with rules and find some success, but over all we still hesitate when it comes time to execute.
- We add, subtract and modify rules as we see a need to be more proficient with our rules.
- We feel we are very close to crossing that threshold of successful trading.
- We start to take responsibility for our trading results as we understand that our success is in us, not the methodology.
- We continue to trade and become more proficient with our methodology and our rules.
- As we trade we still have a tendency to violate our rules and our results are still erratic.
- We know we are close.
- We go back and research our rules.
- We build the confidence in our rules and go back into the market and trade.
- Our trading results are getting better, but we are still hesitating in executing our rules.
- We now see the importance of following our rules as we see the results of our trades when we don't follow the rules.
- We begin to see that our lack of success is within us (a lack of discipline in following the rules because of some kind of fear) and we begin to work on knowing ourselves better.
- We continue to trade and the market teaches us more and more about ourselves.
- We master our methodology and our trading rules.
- We begin to consistently make money.
- We get a little over-confident and the market humbles us.
- We continue to learn our lessons.
- We stop thinking and allow our rules to trade for us (trading becomes boring, but successful) and our trading account continues to grow as we increase our contract size.
- We are making more money than we ever dreamed possible.
- We go on with our lives and accomplish many of the goals we had always dreamed of.
MOST PEOPLE WILL GIVE UP AT THIS POINT, AS THEY REALISE WORK IS INVOLVED.
Most traders will identify with this list and should be able to place themselves within these steps. Keep in mind that very few people progress through these steps in an orderly fashion. Developing your trading skills is an iterative process.
For example, you may reach Step 13., find that although you were making money, your basic premise for trading was flawed (you might have been benefiting from the bull market, rather than your own trading prowess and then have been rudely awakened when the market entered a bear phase) and you may drop back to Step 4. and start 'climbing' the steps again.
Having the proper mindset, attitude and psychological makeup becomes increasingly important as you progress through the steps. The focus of the earlier steps is on external issues, i.e. developing proficiency in the mechanics of trading while the focus of the latter steps (particularly from Step 30, on) is on internal issues, i.e. improving ourselves mentally and psychologically, maturing as traders.

那女童向他凝视，见他虽有惶恐之状，但其意甚坚，显然不肯屈从，嘿嘿冷笑，问道：“你自称是佛门子弟，严守清规戒律，到底有什么戒律？”虚竹道：“佛门戒律有根本戒、大乘戒之别。”那女童冷笑道：“花头倒也真多，什么叫根本戒、大乘戒？”虚竹道：“根本戒比较容易，共分四级，首为五戒，其次为八戒，更次为十戒，最后为具足戒，亦即二百五十戒。五戒为在家居士所持，一不杀生，二不偷盗，三不淫邪，四不妄语，五不饮酒。至于出家比丘，更须守持八戒、十戒，以至二百五十戒，那比五戒精严得多。总而言之，不杀生为佛门第一戒。” |
