交易员们经常会听到这样的话：选择适合你性格的交易方法。但是大多数交易者都100%地集中在交易市场中，很难有机会描述他们的交易性格。
为了实现更高的目标，我们每天都从周遭的互动中获取反馈，修正我们的态度和行为。但市场给我们的反馈是不具有人格的，所以交易员们很难从损益表中了解他们自己。
如果你不了解自己的交易性格以及自身的优势、劣势，他们会在你遇到困难时悄悄出现。因为在遇到新的挑战时，我们会不自觉地依赖我们擅长的东西，而忽略我们的不足之处。
问题就在于，我们忽略的问题会从后门悄悄地溜进来。
很讽刺的是，对交易员来说，最快的自我提升方式是找出自己的劣势，在最困难的环境中战胜它们。这些挑战一定会让你觉得不舒服，让你举步维艰，不然你早就搞定它们了。
最有效的方式是，一周只挑选一个弱项来提高。那么问题来了：只有在犯错之后，你才会意识到自己做错了。当然，如果你在即将犯错之时反应过来，说明你已经改进了大半。
Trading Psychology: What Sort Of Trader Are You?
One common piece of advice given to aspiring traders goes like this: match your method to your personality. But because most traders focus virtually 100% on the market it is unlikely that many could actually describe their trader personality.
In the everyday world, we get feedback about our interactions with others that gives us clues whether we need to change something about our attitudes or behavior in order to succeed at a higher level. But the feedback from Mr. Market is usually regarded as impersonal. Therefore, traders generally don’t learn much about themselves from their P&L.
In my experience, however, if you don’t know your trader personality and it’s natural strengths and weaknesses, it will operate on automatic and the weaknesses will assert themselves in more difficult market environments. This is because to cope with new challenges we tend to over-rely on our strengths while trying our best to ignore our weaknesses.
The trouble is, what we ignore comes in through the back door.
Paradoxically, the fastest way to self-improvement as a trader is to address one’s weaknesses head on and make the tough changes required to fix them. Inevitably, these changes will feel uncomfortable and difficult, otherwise you would have made them already.
The most effective way to move forward is to pick just one weakness and work to improve it for an entire week. Here’s the problem: you probably won’t be able to catch yourself making the mistake until after you’ve made it. However, if you can notice your urge to make the mistake before you actually make it, you are more than half way to fixing it.
