Dear Favour,
Trading is often misunderstood as a “hardcore” endeavor, but in reality, it’s more akin to a delicate dance. The paradox of this world is that the harder you try to force favorable outcomes, the more elusive they become. It’s as if the market senses your urgency and playfully slips through your fingers.
The desire for financial gain can be a double-edged sword. The more you yearn to make money, the more likely the market is to take it away from you. It’s an intricate game that, at its core, revolves around the concept of detachment.
Detachment means not being emotionally tethered to outcomes. It’s the ability to let go of the need for every trade to be a winner, accepting that losses are a natural part of the journey. It’s also about not getting overly attached to your winning trades, as they, too, can change direction unexpectedly.
Perhaps the most crucial aspect of detachment is liberating yourself from the relentless desire to make money. While it may sound counterintuitive, it’s when you stop obsessing over profits that they often find their most successful moments. Letting go and allowing the market to reveal its patterns without trying to bend them to your will is a mark of maturity. It’s an art that can lead to greater consistency and less stress in the tumultuous world of financial markets. So, remember Favour, in trading, it’s not about brute force; it’s about the delicate art of detachment.
Sincerely,
Favour.
