Thoughts on Trading 
Why Everybody Loses Money and Nobody Loses Weight  

 

You see that picture below? That has been my main meal everyday Monday through Friday since November of last year. That's about 150 days of eating nothing but salad and sardines. Net result? I lost five pounds.

 

 

 

 

That may not seem like much but I think this experiment in eating speaks volumes as to why most people fail at both trading and dieting. One hundred and fifty days of eating the same thing is a long time -- yet that is what it took for my body to finally slim down. I am way past forty, my metabolism moves at a snails pace and changes in my biochemistry are radically different from my 17 year old son who would probably lose 5 pounds in a week if he was forced to eat like I do. In short I am a low volatility market and therein lies the essence of this story.

Whether it be diets or trade strategies how many times are we pitched the ridiculous notion that we can achieve success instantly with no effort or investment of time? Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks on the bull-t, bull-t Miami diet! Earn 1000 pips in a month on my bull-t, bull-t new indicator that will catch every 5 minute turn in the euro!

 

It's all nonsense yet we fall prey to it all the time because we want easy, quick solutions to all of life's problems. But of course in real life bull-t diets and bull-t trading systems do not work. Is it any wonder that most people lose money in the market and almost no one can lose weight?

 

How many of you would be willing to trade a system for 150 days straight without any discernible profit? Yet in these low volatility markets that is indeed what must done. We all want instant gratification, especially when it comes to trading which appears to be such an instantaneous business. But in truth gratification in trading as well as in dieting is a grind achieved one small pip and one slow pound at a time.

There is one other thing I forgot to mention. I actually like sardines. I don't mind eating them every day. That's real reason I was able to lose weight. You need to find a set of behaviors that are acceptable to you so that you can remain on a consistent path to success.

 

If someone told me that the only way to lose weight was to eat cottage cheese, I would probably never hit my target. Similarly if someone tells you that "the only way to make money in FX is to trade for the long term" -- and you are a person who gets antsy after being 20 pips in the money -- ignore the guru's advice. Like all such advice it is mainly bull-t. Find a day trading method that you like and keep doing it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

 

To master anything, you need to first like doing it and then do it for much longer than you think is reasonable before you begin to see positive results. That's true whether you are trying to diet or trying to trade.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Trading forex carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade any such leveraged products you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading on margin, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
