The Obstacle is the Way

“It’s a tough market right now.” That’s the conventional view. But unlike an ordinary business, the business of trading is always accompanied by an unusual amount of frustration. If you’re trading around breakeven, which is common during the first year or two, you’re experiencing an equal amount of reward and punishment, which is hard to tolerate. In a previous webinar discussing trader development, I quoted Shi Heng Yi, a Shaolin Master: “Life doesn’t get easier, you become stronger.” In the West, this attitude was first formulated by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” The sooner you learn how to apply this pearl of uncommon wisdom, the faster you move forward. Join Dr. Reid for this webinar and bring your Zen.
