And was that the top of the corn market?
It might have gone up another day, but that was just about the high. Once it started falling, I could never have unloaded a position of my size. I found this trader's narration of his dream particularly fascinating, since I have occasionally had similar experiences. Usually, I have found that when you feel strongly enough about a trade (either getting in or getting out) to dream about it, the message should be heeded. Of course, like anything else, this does not work all the time, but I believe it places the odds more in your favor. As I interpret it, the dream is the means by which our subconscious penetrates the barriers we sometimes erect in accepting the true analysis of a market. For example, if I am bullish and not in a market, I might rationalize that it is prudent to wait for a reaction before entering the trade—even if a realistic assessment would suggest that such a development is unlikely. This is because entering the market at a higher price is a confirmation that, to some extent, I have already failed (that is, by not buying sooner)—a distasteful acknowledgment. In such a case, a dream that the market was going to run away on the upside might be the subconscious' way of breaking through mental impediments. 161 Final Word There is no holy grail to trading success. The methodologies employed by the "market wizards" cover the entire spectrum from purely technical to purely fundamental—and everything in between. The length of time they typically hold a trade ranges from minutes to years. Although the styles of the traders are very different, many common denominators were evident: 1. All those interviewed had a driving desire to become successful traders—in many cases, overcoming significant obstacles to reach their goal. 2. All reflected confidence that they could continue to win over the long run. Almost invariably, they considered their own trading as the best and safest investment for their money. 3. Each trader had found a methodology that worked for him and remained true to that approach. It is significant that discipline was the word most frequently mentioned. 4. The top traders take their trading very seriously; most devote a substantial amount of their waking hours to market analysis and trading strategy. 5. Rigid risk control is one of the key elements in the trading strategy of virtually all those interviewed. 6. In a variety of ways, many of the traders stressed the importance of having the patience to wait for the right trading opportunity to present itself. 7. The importance of acting independent of the crowd was a frequently emphasized point. 8. All the top traders understand that losing is part of the game. 9. They all love what they are doing. 162 |
