《When you make money, it’s your ability; when you lose money, it’s the market》
Have you noticed that your way of assigning blame is very unusual? When you’re making money, you never say it’s luck—you say, “I analyzed it accurately, I’ve got great market instincts, and my execution is strong.” All the credit goes to you. When you’re losing money, you never say, “I was wrong.” You say, “the scum manipulators smashed the order book,” “the broader market dragged everything down,” “the news is unfavorable.” You push all responsibility onto outside forces. Your attribution system is a one-way valve: good things come in, and you take the credit; bad things go out, and you blame someone else. How could a system like that possibly help you improve? Because when you make money, you attribute the reason to how great you are, so you never summarize what the real factor was that actually made you money. When you lose money, you attribute the reason to the outside world, so you never reflect on what you did wrong. You’ve been in this market for a few years, yet you still know nothing about yourself. You’re like an actor who never looks in the mirror—when you botch the performance, you blame the lighting, blame the stage, blame the audience, and never blame your acting. And your account is that most honest spectator—it won’t lie. It just watches you coldly, and then watches you less and less. I’ve taken this slash. What about you?
