你的交易风格是哪一类的？他会让你成为一名成功的交易者吗？我们中的大多数都同时具有不同种风格——同时具有好的和坏的。看看你是否具有以下风格：
• 热情：一些人交易富有热情，希望很容易的挣到钱。他们迟早会失败，并把原因归咎于经纪人或者是培训者，最终他们很厌恶的放弃了交易。
• 退缩：一些人责怪自己：“我什么事都做不好——这次我为什么要尝试？”
• 坚持：一些人在失败之后提醒自己，放弃之后没有人会成功。所以他们一直坚持着，但是却在不断的重复同样的错误——最终，他们只能反问自己为什么不会取得好的结果。
• 寻找交易圣杯：一些人总是在追寻完美的交易系统，为了追逐时尚，不断的更换交易系统。或者是徒劳的跟随当月交易大师的脚步，希望能从大师身上获取答案。
• 犹豫：易普症（打高尔夫球者的紧张状态）不仅发生在有经验的高尔夫球手身上，同时也发生在飞镖从业者以及那些无法果断下单的交易者身上。他们一直在等待完美的状态，以至于因压力而发挥失常——他们注定失败。
• 目光短浅：一些人很少记录自己的交易，他们只能告诉你银行账户金额是如何逐渐减少的。他们很少反省自己，因为失败会使他们感到焦虑或抑郁。
• 模拟交易：一些人虔诚的跟随市场的脚步，详尽的记录市场信息，不断的尝试新的交易系统——但是他们从来不真正的买入一只股票。
• 鲁莽：与纸上交易相对的是鲁莽。他们信心高涨，一开始就投入了自己的全部资金。这就和你在当地健身房锻炼几次之后直接参加一个专业性的拳击锦标赛一样明智。
成功的交易风格
谨慎
成功的交易者在交易前相当的谨慎。在投入小部分资金之前，他们先模拟交易一段时间。当确信自己掌握了窍门之后再逐渐的增加资金投入并密切的关注资金状况。
细节化
他们详细的记录下每一笔交易：他们进出场的原因，投入的资金量以及盈利或亏损。他们可以准确的告诉你在1987年股市崩盘的时候或在道琼斯指数突破10，000的时候自己交易的什么，为什么交易以及何时平仓。
专注
每当他们交易亏损，他们就花时间来反思什么地方出错。他们审查自己的交易记录，并找到其交易方法的弱点。他们会去寻求建议或者研究现有的资料，只有在成功的修正了缺陷之后才会重新返回市场。如果他们再次失败，他们会继续重复上述过程，直至最终消除错误获得成功。
总结
每次行动都会有所回报。许多交易者潜意识里都认为自己会失败，本文开头讲述的八条就是为了缓解交易失败长生的痛苦。一些人因为失败而过早的放弃；一些人坚持下来却没有真正的付出努力——所以，他们总有借口。一些人在自己所拥有的完美交易系统带来一次失败的交易之后便遗弃它，希望找到只会带来成功的系统；一些人经历着不能成功下单的焦虑；一些人一直在否定自己，从来没有进行过真实交易。
然而，成功的交易者将失败作为学习过程的一个重要的组成部分。最后的三种风格对于能否成为一位成功的交易者至关重要。我们只有从失败中汲取教训才有希望获得完美的交易风格——并成为我们希望的最好交易者。
我已经读了上百本与交易有关的书籍，但是我想不起来有任何一位第一次运用交易系统便成功的。他们第一次尝试多失败了，与别人不同的是他们如何面对失败。
反馈是冠军的早餐。

Know Your Trading Style
So what type of personality style are you? And how does this suit becoming a trader? Most of us are a mix of several different styles — both good and bad. See if you recognize any of the following.
Enthusiastic
Some tackle trading with enthusiasm, following the promise of easy money. Sooner or later they fail and, blaming either their broker or training course provider, they give up in disgust.
Withdrawn
Some blame themselves: "I suck at everything — so why do I bother trying?"
Persistent
Some when they fail, remind themselves that no-one ever won by quitting. They persevere, but repeat the same mistakes over and over again — and are left wondering why they don't achieve better results.
Searching for the Holy Grail
Some pursue the perfect trading system. Always switching from one system to the next. Always latching on to the latest fad. Or following the guru of the month in the vain hope that they have the answers.
Hesitant
The yips, a golfing term, are not only experienced by professional golfers who freeze over a putt. There are darts professionals who struggle to release their dart — and traders who cannot pull the trigger. They wait for the perfect set up, allowing pressure to mount until it impairs their performance — ensuring that they do fail.
Blinkered
Some keep scant records of their trades and can only tell how well they are (or aren't) doing from the depleted state of their bank account. They prefer not to reflect on their failures as it makes them feel anxious or depressed.
Paper Trader
Some religiously follow the market, keeping copious records and constantly trialing new systems — without ever buying a stock.
Reckless
The opposite approach the market with supreme confidence, committing their entire capital when just starting out. That is about as sensible as entering a professional boxing tournament after just a few lessons at your local gym. The market will ruthlessly expose your inexperience.
Successful Trading Styles
Cautious
Successful traders are initially cautious about entering the market. They paper trade for a while, before committing a small amount of capital. When confident they have learned the ropes, they gradually increase their exposure while closely monitoring their performance.
Detailed
They keep meticulous records of each trade: the reasons that they entered and exited, the capital committed, and the profits or losses made. They can tell you exactly what trades they were in during the crash of 1987 or when the Dow broke 10,000 — also why they were in them, and when they exited.
Focused
Whenever they fail, they take time to reflect on where they have gone wrong. They review their records and identify areas of weakness in their trading approach. They seek advice and study available literature, only returning to the market when satisfied that they have corrected the flaw. If they again fail, they repeat the process, gradually eliminating their mistakes until they eventually succeed.
Conclusion
Every action has a payoff. Many traders subconsciously expect to fail and the objective of the first eight styles is to avoid the pain associated with that failure. Some avoid failure by quitting early. Some persevere but don't really make a serious effort — so they always have an excuse at hand. Some are so deflated when they incur a loss that they abandon a perfectly good system in the vain hope of finding one where they never have to incur losses. Some experience such anxiety that they cannot bring themselves to enter a trade. Some are in denial, never confronting their actual performance.
Successful traders, however, accept failure as an important part of the learning process. The last three styles are vital to becoming a better trader. Only by learning from our mistakes can we hope to perfect our trading style — and become the best trader that we can possibly be.
I must have read hundreds of trading books and cannot recall a single instance of a trader who succeeded with their first trading system. They all fail at their first attempt. What makes them different is how they respond to failure.
Feedback is the breakfast of champions.
