Why Patience is so Important as a Trader

🧵👇

 Have you ever felt like everyone around you is making money and you're not?
That's how I felt today after the market closed, while I was reflecting on my week.
In fact, over the past three months I've felt like this on multiple occasions!
If we look at my equity curve (EC), updated as of today's close, we can see multiple periods in which my account balance did not change.
But if analyzing the period prior to mid Feb (when my EC spiked), you see a slow drip downwards.

This is exactly what impatience looks like. Just a slow bleed out of money, trying to win on the next trade to make up for losing on the last trade.
What caused this impatience?

A couple of things 👇

❌ my greed got the best of me
❌ didn't trade my best setups
❌ influenced by others making $ short
❌ was red for yr & wanted to get green
So, what changed?

I...

✅ realized that impatience was losing me $
✅ decided that I would not care if others made $ w/o me
✅ planned to only trade my best setups for the rest of year
Of course, being able to sit and wait for your pitch means you have to have confidence in your setup.

This is only built through $STUDY.
We can take a quick look at @markminervini's 2021 performance and see patience on full display.

He had FOUR whole months of gains less than 5% and still went on to QUADRUPLE his account.
How?

He knows that when the time is right, he can make a whole lot of money.

When it isn't, he sits out!

This is why Mark is a master.
Yes, it's definitely easier said than done to have patience. You have to...

· $STUDY
· sit while other strategies make $
· control your emotions
But with a little bit of effort, you can take a quality most traders don't have and make it your biggest edge.
That's a wrap!

What is a True Market Leader / TML (Thread)

(And how to find them)

In one sentence a TML is an institutional quality stock in a leading industry group with superior fundamentals and technicals

These are monster stocks which over the course of weeks and months increase +100% to +5,000%

TMLs are popular with traders/investors whose methodology is based on the CANSLIM system developed by William O'Neil.

He called them Model Book Stocks. Huge winners worth studying to identify common characteristics that they all share

O'Neil studied over 1000 model book stocks going back to the 1880s.

Many are shown and discussed in these must read books

You can spend years looking for the best trading indicator.

Or you can just read this:

I've spent the last 7 years meeting the best traders in the world... and I realized they ALL use the same indicator.

The absolute best trading indicator in the world is your gut.

Like every indicator—before it can give reliable signals—it needs to be studied.

Your intuition only becomes finely tuned after a lot of trials and errors.

Let me explain...

First, we need to understand what intuition is. (that gut feeling)

As traders, intuition is how we make decisions without conscious thought.

Intuition grows (slowly) every time you see the same pattern unfold.

In other words, the more you trade, the more accurate your intuition gets.

Intuition is no different from muscle memory.

As traders, we primarily compete with ourselves to honor our rules and execute our edges.

With money on the line, trading is an incredibly strenuous mental game where emotions can flare up leading to costly mistakes

The Importance of Mastering Trading Psychology.

(Thread) 👇

Trading Psychology or the Mental Game of Trading encompasses solving problems regarding emotions such as Greed, Fear, Anger, Confidence and Discipline.

Contrary to popular belief, having a strong mental game does not mean eradicating emotion.

Instead, it means learning to transcribe your emotions into data that you can use and analyze to connect past states to current ones.

Trading is a performance sport.

We execute at our highest ability when we can use emotions as fuel and for intuition but are not so dominating that they cloud our judgment.

Think about the best athletes in the world : Kobe, Jordan, Lebron, Messi, Ronaldo, Federer, Nadal...

They compete with passion, emotion. This drives them and they are able to unlock their full potential.

There is only one proven way to prevent blowing up your account:

Overall Goal of Stop Losses 👇

The goal of a stop loss is to cap your downside while maximizing the upside from proven setups.

Let's look at some examples to show you how important stop losses can be:

My dad led an organization of over 300,000 employees.

When I took on my biggest marketing & events team to date (35 employees) I asked him how the *heck* he did it. Here's what he said and what helped me every day. 🧵

Remember you're leading all the employees under you, but you're not *managing* them all. You're managing your direct reports, which should be 5-7 individuals max. Focus on them.

When you interact with the employees you don't manage directly, get to know them as people first, that'll be the most valuable information in leading them. Remembering everything you learn about them is hard, but doing so will make you a superhero.

If you're not going to empower the managers under you, why do you have them? If you see room for improvement, let the manager know and let them make the change on their teams and come to you with questions/concerns. This will save you SO much time.

If you're the smartest person in any room - you're doing it wrong. As a leader, your job is bringing together the best people to get the job done - your skillset is identifying those people, not being one of them.

Have you ever wondered why the sons and daughters of the colonial chiefs and guards who were collaborators live a good life while those of the MAU MAU fighters live in abject poverty?

***THREAD***


It should be known that the colonialists reached a point that they knew they had 2 leave Kenya since they couldn't handle the Mau Mau war & the world was moving toward accepting independent Africa.However,the colonialists devised an evil scheme that still eats Kenya upto this day

Under this scheme, the colonial state came up with a plan that saw the first crop of chiefly “big men” being empowered financially to take their children to schools and eventually have those children go to England for further studies...

...and eventually providing a ready-made socio-economic & political class whom state power could be entrusted in the post-colonial era.This explains why their children & grandchildren still hold majority of important positions in govt or in the private sector supported by state.

This also explains why children and grandchildren of these homeguards are always given preferential treatment when it comes to government appointments. Wewe na masomo yako you are always asking why you can never get a job in government...yet you're qualified..now you know.

1/OK, data mystery time.

This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE

That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.

Let's check this number.

2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".

The report is available here:

3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.

The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.


4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.

Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A

It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.

That estimate is from 2012.

5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.

I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.
