The markets are nothing more than a reflection of cumulative sum of human reactions to financial data inflow. As a trader, you are part of it, and millions like you create that entity that appears to be moving so intelligently in all time frames.
So how it is possible that you and millions like you can create the greatest illusionist, the market, and ironically fight against it in every moment of your trading life.
In other words, the market becomes the ultimate enemy of yours and you fight it all the time? As an unit reflection of the market’s image, can you defeat yourself?
Your fight can only be as good as your best, but you create your enemy with your best as well.
That is why this is an endless game because no one can win it all the time as no one can keep beating himself all the time… UNLESS YOU ARE A SELFLESS PERSON.
Selflessness is the highest mindset in martial arts. All behavior lies on a continuum with selfishness at one end and selflessness at the other. Selflessness is superior to selfishness – this is self evident and inarguable.
To defeat your biggest enemy – market – be selfless. In this war, to be able to be selfless, you must believe in your weapons and yourself, digest your knowledge and experience built over your successes and failures in time.
To be selfless, you must believe in what you do. To believe in what you do, you must have been watching, observing, experiencing, studying, practicing for a long time. To be able to do this for a long time, you must have had patience, dedication and ambition.
That is why selflessness is the highest state of mind in this game as it is extremely hard to achieve.
