你的交易風格是哪一類的？他會讓你成為一名成功的交易者嗎？我們中的大多數都同時具有不同種風格——同時具有好的和壞的。看看你是否具有以下風格：
• 熱情：一些人交易富有熱情，希望很容易的掙到錢。他們遲早會失敗，並把原因歸咎於經紀人或者是培訓者，最終他們很厭惡的放棄了交易。
• 退縮：一些人責怪自己：“我什麼事都做不好——這次我為什麼要嘗試？”
• 堅持：一些人在失敗之後提醒自己，放棄之後沒有人會成功。所以他們一直堅持著，但是卻在不斷的重複同樣的錯誤——最終，他們只能反問自己為什麼不會取得好的結果。
• 尋找交易聖杯：一些人總是在追尋完美的交易系統，為了追逐時尚，不斷的更換交易系統。或者是徒勞的跟隨當月交易大師的腳步，希望能從大師身上獲取答案。
• 猶豫：易普症（打高爾夫球者的緊張狀態）不僅發生在有經驗的高爾夫球手身上，同時也發生在飛镖從業者以及那些無法果斷下單的交易者身上。他們一直在等待完美的狀態，以至於因壓力而發揮失常——他們註定失敗。
• 目光短淺：一些人很少記錄自己的交易，他們只能告訴你銀行賬戶金額是如何逐漸減少的。他們很少反省自己，因為失敗會使他們感到焦慮或抑郁。
• 模擬交易：一些人虔誠的跟隨市場的腳步，詳盡的記錄市場信息，不斷的嘗試新的交易系統——但是他們從來不真正的買入一只股票。
• 魯莽：與紙上交易相對的是魯莽。他們信心高漲，一開始就投入了自己的全部資金。這就和你在當地健身房鍛煉幾次之後直接參加一個專業性的拳擊錦標賽一樣明智。
成功的交易風格
謹慎
成功的交易者在交易前相當的謹慎。在投入小部分資金之前，他們先模擬交易一段時間。當確信自己掌握了竅門之後再逐漸的增加資金投入並密切的關註資金狀況。
細節化
他們詳細的記錄下每一筆交易：他們進出場的原因，投入的資金量以及盈利或虧損。他們可以準確的告訴你在1987年股市崩盤的時候或在道瓊斯指數突破10，000的時候自己交易的什麼，為什麼交易以及何時平倉。
專註
每當他們交易虧損，他們就花時間來反思什麼地方出錯。他們審查自己的交易記錄，並找到其交易方法的弱點。他們會去尋求建議或者研究現有的資料，只有在成功的修正了缺陷之後才會重新返回市場。如果他們再次失敗，他們會繼續重複上述過程，直至最終消除錯誤獲得成功。
總結
每次行動都會有所回報。許多交易者潛意識裡都認為自己會失敗，本文開頭講述的八條就是為了緩解交易失敗長生的痛苦。一些人因為失敗而過早的放棄；一些人堅持下來卻沒有真正的付出努力——所以，他們總有借口。一些人在自己所擁有的完美交易系統帶來一次失敗的交易之後便遺棄它，希望找到只會帶來成功的系統；一些人經歷著不能成功下單的焦慮；一些人一直在否定自己，從來沒有進行過真實交易。
然而，成功的交易者將失敗作為學習過程的一個重要的組成部分。最後的三種風格對於能否成為一位成功的交易者至關重要。我們只有從失敗中汲取教訓才有希望獲得完美的交易風格——並成為我們希望的最好交易者。
我已經讀了上百本與交易有關的書籍，但是我想不起來有任何一位第一次運用交易系統便成功的。他們第一次嘗試多失敗了，與別人不同的是他們如何面對失敗。
反饋是冠軍的早餐。

Know Your Trading Style
So what type of personality style are you? And how does this suit becoming a trader? Most of us are a mix of several different styles — both good and bad. See if you recognize any of the following.
Enthusiastic
Some tackle trading with enthusiasm, following the promise of easy money. Sooner or later they fail and, blaming either their broker or training course provider, they give up in disgust.
Withdrawn
Some blame themselves: "I suck at everything — so why do I bother trying?"
Persistent
Some when they fail, remind themselves that no-one ever won by quitting. They persevere, but repeat the same mistakes over and over again — and are left wondering why they don't achieve better results.
Searching for the Holy Grail
Some pursue the perfect trading system. Always switching from one system to the next. Always latching on to the latest fad. Or following the guru of the month in the vain hope that they have the answers.
Hesitant
The yips, a golfing term, are not only experienced by professional golfers who freeze over a putt. There are darts professionals who struggle to release their dart — and traders who cannot pull the trigger. They wait for the perfect set up, allowing pressure to mount until it impairs their performance — ensuring that they do fail.
Blinkered
Some keep scant records of their trades and can only tell how well they are (or aren't) doing from the depleted state of their bank account. They prefer not to reflect on their failures as it makes them feel anxious or depressed.
Paper Trader
Some religiously follow the market, keeping copious records and constantly trialing new systems — without ever buying a stock.
Reckless
The opposite approach the market with supreme confidence, committing their entire capital when just starting out. That is about as sensible as entering a professional boxing tournament after just a few lessons at your local gym. The market will ruthlessly expose your inexperience.
Successful Trading Styles
Cautious
Successful traders are initially cautious about entering the market. They paper trade for a while, before committing a small amount of capital. When confident they have learned the ropes, they gradually increase their exposure while closely monitoring their performance.
Detailed
They keep meticulous records of each trade: the reasons that they entered and exited, the capital committed, and the profits or losses made. They can tell you exactly what trades they were in during the crash of 1987 or when the Dow broke 10,000 — also why they were in them, and when they exited.
Focused
Whenever they fail, they take time to reflect on where they have gone wrong. They review their records and identify areas of weakness in their trading approach. They seek advice and study available literature, only returning to the market when satisfied that they have corrected the flaw. If they again fail, they repeat the process, gradually eliminating their mistakes until they eventually succeed.
Conclusion
Every action has a payoff. Many traders subconsciously expect to fail and the objective of the first eight styles is to avoid the pain associated with that failure. Some avoid failure by quitting early. Some persevere but don't really make a serious effort — so they always have an excuse at hand. Some are so deflated when they incur a loss that they abandon a perfectly good system in the vain hope of finding one where they never have to incur losses. Some experience such anxiety that they cannot bring themselves to enter a trade. Some are in denial, never confronting their actual performance.
Successful traders, however, accept failure as an important part of the learning process. The last three styles are vital to becoming a better trader. Only by learning from our mistakes can we hope to perfect our trading style — and become the best trader that we can possibly be.
I must have read hundreds of trading books and cannot recall a single instance of a trader who succeeded with their first trading system. They all fail at their first attempt. What makes them different is how they respond to failure.
Feedback is the breakfast of champions.
