Trading Is A Function Of You
Trading is a business, it is a tool to get you your goals and desires, it is a journey, a self satisfying
endeavour, and it is a function of you. These are just some of the things that traders should be learning but are not. Some
will already know this, or have mastered it without ever realizing how they did it.
So what do I mean when I say trading is a function of you? Quite simply it means your edge, your holy grail; your
success in trading will come from within. Every successful trader is different and just like fingerprints, there are no two
alike!
Successful traders enjoy what they do. I’ll give you an example of not enjoying your trading, even when making
money. For me, when I tried day trading, I thought I liked it at first, especially when I was making money, but after a
while it became extremely boring for me. It was like a job, and I had never lasted in a job for more than a year or two for
a very simple reason. When the challenges run out, I get bored and do not put my heart into it. I have always been a hard
worker, so it never had anything to do with productivity, but I learn quick and when there seems to be nothing left to
learn, I want to move on.
This was a very valuable lesson for me. It taught me that to stay as a trader who enjoys what he does; I needed to
find something that involved more than just day trading forex. So I became interested in market psychology. Now my trading
is centered on that.
You see it is important you find out who you are. If you aren’t enjoying your trading it doesn’t mean the markets
are not for you, it may mean re-assessing what it is you want from your trading and assessing who you are! Some people are
very happy to trade one way for a long time, just as some people are happy to work in jobs that involve repetitive
patterns.
Know who you are and your trading style will find you. This is what we base Pentagonal Trading on, but we will
admit, it’s not a simple 1-2-3 question process. You will have to dig deep within yourself and do some work. But once done,
you’ll have an unshakeable foundation from which to base the rest of your life on.
