Trading Made Easy

Is trading easy?It can be categorized as ‘simple,’ but, of course, that doesn’t mean that it’s easy. Simple is herein defined as being CLEAR.

You see, my dear fellow students of trading, there are two kinds of simplicity.

The first attracts the trading students who might be looking for easy, quick, pat answer to all of their trading questions. This person is of the opinion, consciously or subconsciously, that if he takes enough courses, reads enough books, finds the right trading system, does enough market analyses he’ll be able to solve the puzzle of successful trading and reap huge financial benefits, multiplying his current portfolio size.

While each one of those items is worthy of our attention, he might overlook the fact that all of those are OUTSIDE OF OURSELVES.

The second kind of simplicity includes all of the above activities but BEGINS with these four crucial ingredients:

a. A deep journey within OURSELVES to look objectively at how we think, how we perceive the world, how we react to people, events and things around us,

b. A forgiveness of OURSELVES for past shortcomings and a true acceptance that we are worthy of success,

c. A total release of any attempts to CONTROL people, events and things around us, and

d. A total release of any TIME CONSTRAINT or expectation of how long it will take to become a successful trader. (This means denying our ego that is begging for quick gratification.)

Then, when the day comes when we have reached that elusive level of financial, mental and emotional wealth that we have desired, we can consider ourselves as having earned the right to return to viewing trading as ‘simple.’

Then we’ll know that seeking simplicity directly is not the right path.

It’s only simplicity on the other side of complexity that is of true value and fulfillment.

BTW, after it becomes ‘easy’ to us, then we’ll say, ‘It was simple!’
