When traders break free from the obsession with winning and losing, the anxiety of seeking outward is transformed into an inward quest for system improvement. With respect for the system, they gain insight into the cognitive curve, using losses as an opportunity to correct the closed loop of thinking. Their minds no longer cling to the illusion of gains and losses, and trading becomes increasingly effortless. In the words of Zen, 'one should not dwell on anything while giving rise to the mind.' Only by not being attached to the surface of things can the pure and untainted original mind arise.
