see how such confidence would be beneficial for the established winning trader, might the impact of this trait actually be reversed for the novice trader? For example, in your first week on skis, confidence about your ability to go down the expert slope might not be such a great quality. How does the less expert trader distinguish between justified and misplaced confidence? The top traders that I've worked with began their careers with an extensive study of the markets. They developed and refined models of how to trade. They mentally rehearsed what they wanted to do extensively until they had the belief that they would win. At this point, they had both the confidence and the commitment necessary to 154 produce success. In addition, they also had the entire constellation of beliefs I just described. As a result, I believe that there are three major differences between justified confidence and misplaced confidence. First of all, justified confidence comes from a constellation of beliefs, such as the one I just described. If a trader has confidence and nothing else, he is probably in a lot of trouble. Second, justified confidence comes from extensive testing of some sort of model of trading. If you don't have a model that you have properly tested, then your confidence is probably misplaced. Third, justified confidence comes with an extensive commitment to being successful as a trader. Most people who want to be traders are not committed—they just think they are. There is a poem by W. N. Murray, of the Scottish Himalayan expedition, that says: "That the moment that one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too." If you are really committed, then not only are you certain that you are doing the right thing, but somehow events just seem to occur to help you. If you are really committed to being a trader, then you probably have an understanding at some level of what I'm talking about. You probably even understand that those events that help you might be big losses. If you are not committed, on the other hand, then you are probably saying, "I don't understand what Tharp is saying. I'm committed, but events certainly have not been helping me." Download 5.03 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
