🎯 Trading is not a war with the market… the war is within you
In his book Trading for a Living, Alexander Elder revealed a simple and dangerous secret:
The biggest enemy of the trader is not the market… but himself.
Fear makes you exit early, greed makes you enter aggressively,
and stress makes you make decisions you regret in seconds.
Elder taught us that success is not in making a trade,
but in being able to control yourself during wins and losses.
He set golden rules for psychological control:
Don't enter the market on a whim… stick to a plan.
Write down the reason for every trade before you open it.
Don't trade when you're stressed or impulsive.
Because in the end…
the market doesn't need the smartest person, the market needs the calmest person.

🔍 This is knowledge, not a recommendation. Elder said: whoever wins the market is the one who wins himself first.
