Re: Traders who never bother to learn how to trade

My cat is a perfect example of that. Cats are purpose built to be the ultimate killing machines, but my cat has no idea how to hunt.
She tried to chase after a spider this morning, but spent more time dancing around it than actually swiping at it. Plus, she constantly lost track of the thing and would start to wander off.

She's not the smartest cat on the block by any means, but the reason she's a terrible hunter is because she never learned how to do it properly.
If I didn't feed her every day, she'd be toast.

If a cat whose nature it is to hunt can’t do so without being taught, what chance do traders have without solid education?

I prefer to take my dogs as role models. French Bulldogs. Lazy ass bitches:

-they only move if necessary (I only trade if "necessary" / best Setups)
-if they move, they move the absolute minimum distance to achieve their goal (I set a target for every trade, and in case it goes against me, I close it early. It TP gets hit, I am out of the trade)
-most important: If they want something (food) they are maximum persistent (I wanted to become a trader, and obviously lost some money to the market,  but I never quit, just like my hungry dogs)

so I guess there is always something to adapt from mother nature, when trading BTC USD
