Trade and decision

Holding a position while trading is to be identified as a testing period. An examination of the emotions. Emotions not only a barrier in trading but also the whole scenarios of life. It plays a crucial part in the molding of future. What it did to ourselves is the result of present situation. It only plays in forming the decision and that is the most important thing. Every minute we are deciding what to do, which minute we are crafting our future. If future seems vague, which is what happens for many people, it is because of the vague decisions they are making. For a person who makes decisions based on his will, he is capable of making his future like he wants. Taking control over decision has such a pivot game to play. That is the reason successful folks often known for making better decision at time. They are master in articulating the scenario and taking decision according to it.

This scenario can be largely visible among people who trade and invest. Better decision only comes with better knowledge. What they do instead makes everything worse. It is actually easy to fall in to thinking that the existing old pattern used to work would work here too. But it is not. The famous saying “what got you here never gets you there” defines everything. To make better decision we must be equipped with latest tools and learning from experience. By constantly apprising about the field in general would be great. Very few individuals do that and they are widely known as lifelong learners. Successful people are lifelong learners. They value learning like their heart companion. They often give advice to learn continuously. But the mediocre never listen and complain.

This is a global phenomenon and innate behavior ever since we were born.

Resistance is ill backed

Resistance is about not doing the things that matters the most. The things that leaves a lot of output in the long-term. The reason why we procrastinate the important things is because it is the manifestation of resistance. We might get bewildered if we knew what this resistance had done to us and to those around us. The craziest part is we don’t we know if there exists resistance. Because resistance itself blocks its discovery. It or the brain part which controls it knows that the slightest awareness of resistance is danger. It’s a threat for the existence. It cannot survive with proper knowledge. Each time an endeavor starts to unfold resistance keeps it under the bed.  Gradually making it repellant it succeeds in strengthening the procrastination. The main cause people won’t defy the resistance is they don’t know it’s existence. It’s invisible and involuntary. We easily spot a liar or a traitor after couple of days of engaging with them. They possess a body, a character and more...

FOMO dilemma

With an obsession over a thing, the given effort seems effortless. We will spend hours tirelessly and even make it to the next top level. But we develop this affectionate obsession with only a few items and most of them are addictive as well s destructive. We see this happen with people eagerly waiting for an episode of their favorite TV show. Since we do most of the fundamentals with what is most pleasurable than what is actually productive, we often fall into this trap of fake FOMOs. FOMO can be interpreted in two ways.  The first one is in the form of pleasing the external world. Protecting ourselves from being an idiot in the crowd. This is embarrassing to most people since they seek validation from the external world all the time. They are not allowed to miss what's trending, the new episodes of tv shows, celebrity divorce, millions of viewed videos, and much garbage stuff. In the process of showing the external world that you're up to date with what is happening in the tr...

Allocating time

In order to get something at our grasp we must do the work. In any case giving enough time and energy is necessary to make it possible. And sometimes not. Those are not rare case scenarios. It is well observed around. We must have experienced this. The evident factor is that, due to the most valuable time, we often switch things around, like hedging. Unlike hedging you cannot do both simultaneously. So the thing is we have to make blocks of time. These blocks will save lot of energy and of course brings the time for our deed.   During this process, it is necessary that we must allocate the time to those defined blocks. By allocating, we are actually veering the time from anything that we usually do to something purposeful . Because doing something that creates meaning requires effort and consistency. Motivation is not enough, it dies soon.   Here some people often confuses this with their moral things. Such as relationship and routine. Instead of keeping it well nourished, th...
