Why trading is harder than physics?

This 1 min clip will change how you think about trading

✅@trading

Trading is not about charts, candles, lines, and drawing tools. Or at least, it is not just about that.

A lot of people know technical analysis. What separates a successful trader is personality. It is someone who has managed to overcome, fully or almost fully, most of the fears, weaknesses, and mental patterns that come with being human.

That is much harder than learning technical analysis. It cannot really be explained, and it cannot be understood from the outside. It has to be experienced.

You go from having nothing to having everything, and then back again, many times over, until both extremes lose their meaning and turn to dust.

Many traders are deeply emotional by nature, but they learn to become remarkably calm and detached. For them, rigid beliefs, assumptions, and personal convictions carry little weight.

That is the price they pay to avoid suffering too much when they lose, and to avoid becoming overly euphoric when they win.

Over time, it becomes a psychological defense mechanism, almost like a conditioned reflex.
