想成为成功的交易员吗？

谷歌对“陈词滥调”是这样定义的：“一句有些内涵的话被滥用之后，就变得索然无味了。”

今天我差点和人在Facebook上吵起来。争吵的内容与交易规则有关，我专门为此写了这篇文章。这几条交易规则的标题是“十大交易错误”，这是一个人出于好意发布到网上的，内容来源于一个著名心理学家的一本书（或一篇文章）。

而我认为这十条中有九条都是废话。文章中“十大错误之首”为：

“坚信市场会持续地涨或持续地跌，被自己的观点所困。从心理上讲，这等同于试图控制市场预期走势。”

错在哪里？相信市场连续涨或连续跌是错的吗？难道要一会看涨一会看跌吗？那这个“一会”是多长时间呢？依据何来？

我要对趋势有多大的信心？刚好够进行交易，却不足以被“困住”？这到底是什么意思？

如果联军想要在登录日不被困在诺曼底，结果会怎么样？

听着，你们这群人。如果你们看到这类的规定，就像遵循上帝旨意一样照做不误，那你迟早走上绝路。

无论如何，请你们困在你们的交易中吧。我希望你像激光一样集中于这一点。这才是正确的方向，这才是应该进行的交易。如果结局与你的预测相反，你可以丢掉它。但因为这样就不相信自己是对的？太荒谬了。带上你的筹码，加入这个交易游戏吧。

下面这一条彻底把我逼疯了：

 “交易的价格和货币价值需要重点关注，基于其表现和构架的市场走势则无关紧要。”

那本来就是错的！钱是重点！不看钱我们还看什么？看走势图的颜色？交易就是钱的事！在交易游戏中得到的分数就是钱。就此打住。如果我的话让你感到不舒服，那你就去买些水彩画，或是去花园里种种花草（你要记得，开不开花结不结果一点都不重要！）。

事实是这样的：你的交易规则由你自己来制定。用你自己的经验教训来制定规则。从我这里、从Facebook上、从法老陵墓中挖出的古老卷轴中寻找规则，你最终会变成奴隶的。我的朋友们，我们的命运应该由我们自己掌握。

Want To Be A Successful Trader?

Here’s the definition of a “platitude”, from Google: “a remark or statement, especially one with a moral content, that has been used too often to be interesting or thoughtful.”

Today I restrained myself from getting into an argument on Facebook. The argument, which I guess I am now having in this article, was about a set of trading rules. This set of trading rules was posted online under the title “Top Ten Trading Errors”, and it was a well-intentioned post. From a good person. Copied from a book (or article) from a very famous trading psychologist.

And I thought that 9 of the 10 items on the list were complete tomfoolery. Here is one of the ten “worst errors” a trader can make, according to this list:

“Getting locked into a specific opinion or belief about market direction. Psychologically equivalent of trying to control the market with expectations of what it will do.”

That’s an error? Getting locked into a belief or opinion about market direction? So, what’s the alternative? How often is it ok to change your mind? On what basis?

And how much confidence am I allowed to have in my position? Just enough to open the trade but not enough to get “locked in?” What the hell does that mean?

What if the Allied Forces decided to NOT get locked into Normandy on D-Day?

Listen, people. When you read a list of rules like this (and it could include my rules, for that matter), and then you start to follow those rules like they are God’s truth delivered to man on stone tablets, you go down the road that leads to ruin.

Please, by all means, get LOCKED into your trade. I want you to be laser focused on it. It is THE direction. It is THE trade to take. And then if it proves otherwise, sure, you can dump it. Fine. But to not allow yourself to believe in your position as being correct? That’s ridiculous. Show up to the trading game with some balls, ok?

And this one drives me nuts:

 “Focusing on price and the monetary value of a trade, instead of the potential for the market to move base on its behavior and structure.”

That’s supposed to be an error! Focusing on the money! What the hell are we supposed to do, focus on the colors of our charts? This is about money! The only score you can keep in the game of trading is money. Period. If you are uncomfortable with that, then go buy some watercolor canvases. Or plant a garden (but sure as hell don’t focus on the harvest!).

Fact: You make your own trading rules. Make them with your own blood and experience. Following someone else’s rules – mine, from a list on Facebook, from an ancient scroll you find buried in the tomb of a Pharaoh – that’s the way you become a slave. And, my friends, we are designed to determine our own fate.
