📈 Trading is not about predicting, but about psychology
Mark Douglas, author of Trading in the Zone, spent decades studying why traders fail despite having strategies that should work. What was his conclusion? It is rarely the method, it is the mindset.
🟡 Markets are neutral, your reaction is not
🟡 "Being right" is emotional, not profitable
🟡 The advantage is probabilistic, not predictive
🟡 Most trading mistakes come from fear, not from a lack of skill
🟡 Confidence comes from trusting your process, not your outcome
Douglas believed that the real battle is internal.
Until you stop fighting against the market and start mastering yourself, no strategy will save you.
