Читать книгу Investor, trader, player. Greed is bad - Sergei Riazantsev - Страница 2

There is an episode in the film “Seven Samurai” by Japanese director Akira Kurosawa: an experienced samurai helps the peasants cope with a thief who took a child hostage. After a successful outcome, having made sure of the mastery of the sword, an old peasant respectfully asks:

– The master must be a great warrior?

The samurai smiles sadly:

– I have a lot of experience of losing battles.

All my knowledge and skills are the same experience of losing battles in the market. I have probably made all the mistakes that exist in trading. And every day I work on not repeating them again. I don’t know any such methods myself. For a simple reason – they do not exist. This is not a teaching from above, from one “who has achieved success” to many who have not achieved it.

Rather, it is a living experience of a living person, a desire to share what he himself went through. A person who still makes mistakes every day, studies all the time, does not consider himself to have achieved mastery.

These are the notes of a bad trader who wants to become better.
