Do you think you are an expert in trading after a successful deal? Beware, you might fall victim to the Dunning-Kruger effect! 📊 This cognitive bias makes you overestimate your skills when you are a beginner, only for your confidence to crash suddenly at your first major loss. In the book "Rich Trader Poor Trader", this concept is cleverly explained showing the trader's journey from illusion to maturity:
🔹 The dangerous journey of the novice trader
1. Peak of Stupidity 🏔:
· After quick profits, the trader thinks the market is "easy" and overconfident in his decisions.
· The most famous phrase: "I discovered the secret of quick wealth!" 💸
2. Valley of Despair 😵:
· Losses reveal his lack of experience, and he falls into a spiral of doubt: "Am I a failure?"
3. Slope of Enlightenment 📚:
· Starts with serious learning and builds real confidence based on experience, not luck.
4. Sustainability Plateau 🏔️:
· Reaches a stage of financial humility, realizing that markets change and that learning never stops.
💡 Why humility is the secret to success in trading?
· Risk Management: The humble one acknowledges his mistakes and uses stop-loss orders.
· Market Adaptation: Learns from crises and doesn’t cling to his opinions.
· Emotional control: Doesn’t rejoice in fleeting gains nor despair from losses.
📌 Summary:
The market is not a playground for the arrogant! True success begins when you acknowledge that you don’t know everything and turn into a lifelong learner. 🧠
