Stock Market Samurai

Lesson #1: Use your opponent's energy against them

In the stock market, the direction of the energy of the market is towards the trend. If you try to fight the trend, the market will destroy you. Use its wild energy against itself to bridle it and gain control. Trade with the trend. Know this and you will see that if the stock market attacks, it is the victim.

Lesson #2: Swordsmanship means chivalry

If you are physically strong, but not mentally calm, you may win the match but you will never be a true samurai. A stock market samurai wins before they even make a trade. They know they will succeed before they begin. Emotional strength, confidence and discipline allow a samurai to trade without fear, greed or regret. By eliminating ego, their trades are only stepping stones to successfully complete their mission.

Lesson #3: Respect deities, but do not rely upon them

Learn from the great traders to develop your own system. Study those who have beaten the market, but do not follow them blindly. Use your reason and judgment in determining what is right for you. On your search for wholeness, self-reliance is the essence of experience.

Lesson #4: Mysterious are the ways of action

He, who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is wise among traders. He is the stock market Yogi. Whether waiting patiently for the right time to begin a trade or holding a position until the correct moment to close, doing nothing can sometimes be the wisest thing to do.
