Trading is not a game; it is a personality screening mechanism.
The first truth is that the market does not filter based on technology; anyone can learn the skills, and anyone can use indicators. What the market truly filters is your heart. Can you endure? Can you stop? Can you admit mistakes? Livermore once said that in the end, the market does not favor the smartest people, but those who can control themselves the best.
The second truth is that trading amplifies personality traits. If you are greedy, it amplifies greed; if you are impatient, it amplifies impatience; if you are arrogant, it amplifies arrogance. The market will not correct you; it only magnifies who you are. That’s why some become more and more foolish, and others go crazier. It’s not the market that’s different, but the people.
The third truth is that trading eliminates personality flaws. If you refuse to stop, if you are used to making excuses, if you rely on luck—these might be harmless in life, but in the market, they will be liquidated.
