My trading goal for 2020 and your goal, should you want to succeed, should be to fail at trading. Before, you dismiss the notion– please consider the argument. You see I recently shared that few traders actually fail because they do not pursue a trading method with sufficient rigor, discipline, and energy to know that it cannot work. Instead most traders expend their psychological and capital resources and quit without much to show for it.
However, successful traders do fail at trading, Rather, they fail strategies and methods that don’t work. And, they learn and replace those methods with better processes and strategies. The best traders have developed methods for failing while losing the least capital possible, learning from losses, and maximizing their energies.
So, my goal for 2020 is to fail better then I have ever failed before. I want to fail the bad strategies, the processes that don’t maximize my strengths, poor discipline, things that rob my energy, and I want to maximize my strongest strengths, skills, and strategies.
