위대한 트레이더가 되기 위해 필요한 요소 - Self-awareness / Desire for truth

The two rarest traits that make a world-class trader possible are

1. Self-awareness

2. Desire for truth even when it's paintful

Most never reach that point, because they defend their illusions to protect their ego. In order to make these traits my own, I must understand what "Ego Death" means in trading.

Understanding what "Ego Death" Means in trading

In trading, ego is not "confidence" or "self-esteem." Ego is the illusion that your will can control the market.

• Ego says: "I must be right." / The market says: "You can only be aligned."

• Ego says: "I'll win back what I lost." / The market says: "Loss is information."

• Ego says: "This setup worked before, it should again." / The market says: "Each moment is unique."

Ego death in trading means accepting total humility - realizing the market is infinitely larger than you, yet you can still extract a living from it through probabilistic alignment, not domination.

The paradox is this:

• The less you try to win, the more you allow yourself to flow with the market and profit, like surfing the market.
