交易員們經常會聽到這樣的話：選擇適合你性格的交易方法。但是大多數交易者都100%地集中在交易市場中，很難有機會描述他們的交易性格。
為了實現更高的目標，我們每天都從週遭的互動中獲取反饋，修正我們的態度和行為。但市場給我們的反饋是不具有人格的，所以交易員們很難從損益表中了解他們自己。
如果你不了解自己的交易性格以及自身的優勢、劣勢，他們會在你遇到困難時悄悄出現。因為在遇到新的挑戰時，我們會不自覺地依賴我們擅長的東西，而忽略我們的不足之處。
問題就在於，我們忽略的問題會從後門悄悄地溜進來。
很諷刺的是，對交易員來說，最快的自我提升方式是找出自己的劣勢，在最困難的環境中戰勝它們。這些挑戰一定會讓你覺得不舒服，讓你舉步維艱，不然你早就搞定它們了。
最有效的方式是，一週只挑選一個弱項來提高。那麼問題來了：只有在犯錯之後，你才會意識到自己做錯了。當然，如果你在即將犯錯之時反應過來，說明你已經改進了大半。
Trading Psychology: What Sort Of Trader Are You?
One common piece of advice given to aspiring traders goes like this: match your method to your personality. But because most traders focus virtually 100% on the market it is unlikely that many could actually describe their trader personality.
In the everyday world, we get feedback about our interactions with others that gives us clues whether we need to change something about our attitudes or behavior in order to succeed at a higher level. But the feedback from Mr. Market is usually regarded as impersonal. Therefore, traders generally don’t learn much about themselves from their P&L.
In my experience, however, if you don’t know your trader personality and it’s natural strengths and weaknesses, it will operate on automatic and the weaknesses will assert themselves in more difficult market environments. This is because to cope with new challenges we tend to over-rely on our strengths while trying our best to ignore our weaknesses.
The trouble is, what we ignore comes in through the back door.
Paradoxically, the fastest way to self-improvement as a trader is to address one’s weaknesses head on and make the tough changes required to fix them. Inevitably, these changes will feel uncomfortable and difficult, otherwise you would have made them already.
The most effective way to move forward is to pick just one weakness and work to improve it for an entire week. Here’s the problem: you probably won’t be able to catch yourself making the mistake until after you’ve made it. However, if you can notice your urge to make the mistake before you actually make it, you are more than half way to fixing it.
