The difference between a trader and a gambler is frequency. A gambler does it once. A trader is committed to take the natural fluctuations in their bottom line. A gambler gives up control and takes little responsibility for the outcome. A trader sees the outcome as a learning experience. A chance to take that knowledge and let it pay over time. A gambler sees a success as a pay day. A trader see it is an opportunity. A gambler focuses on luck, a trader focus on repeatable actions. A traders can tell the difference between an aberration, for a gambler there is no distinction.

I find that, unfortunately, to be terribly true. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Kahneman, he is a professor at Princeton and Nobel laureate. He is notable for his work on the psychology of judgment and decision-making, and behavioral economics. |
Problems with “risk free” trading
- It is hard to understand if it is an aberration or the new rule. Many people go down with the ship or by the time they find the advantage it disappears.
- Risk always catches up with you. Not realizing risk does not mean the absence of risk.
- Career traders look for things they can repeatable do. Learning is where the pressure comes from. Learning is does not factor if you are relying on Pavlovian responses.
- Not every trade is the same. You can never learn how to trade larger risking the same dollar amount. The dollar amount you are down is more important of a factor in position size than market conditions.
- All “risk free” trading is backward looking. It is relying strictly on what happened in the past and those successes. If the regulatory bodies got one thing right it is the standard disclaimer that most people ignore, “Past results are no indication of future performance”.

Dealing with entry timing
How do you personally get around from being “too early” or “too late” on an entry?
How do you personally get around from being “too early” or “too late” on an entry?There are a few things that have helped me get over missing a trade or “being right” and not making money.
- Opportunity vs profit. I thought the market owed me profits. Now, I see the bars on the chart not as profit but an opportunity to profit. The market does not owe me anything. I owe it to myself to execute my plan to the best of my ability. Good things happen.
- Important feedback. If a trade develops in a way that I had not anticipated, it means I did not notice a change. It is now up to me to understand why or determine it was an aberration. Either way the market is giving me valuable feedback.
- Unlimited time horizon. One of the side effects of trading is missing trades. It is something that you have to get over. It is a fact of life. The next trade is always more important than the last one. You should have more experience and knowledge, right? Knowledge of yourself, the market, and the interaction between the two.
Said in one sentence. I get over missing trades because I do not have a sense of entitlement, willing to use the feedback, and know that it is just one trade in 1000′s or hopefully 10,000′s.
