es as well as firm rules for pulling the trigger … deciding when to buy and sell。 Money refers to how you manage your trading capital。
成功的交易需要3个M——思想,方法和资金管理。新手专注于分析,但是专业人士在3维空间操作。他们懂交易心理——他们自己的感觉和市场大众的感觉。每个交易者都需要有选择特定股票和期货的方法,这些原则要像扣扳机一样——决定何时买卖。资金管理就是如何管理自己的交易资金。
Mind; Method; Money … trading psychology; trading method; and money management … people sometimes ask me which of the three is more important。 It is like asking which leg of a three…legged stool is the most important。 Take them away one at a time and then try to sit down。 In Part 2 we focus on those three foundations of market success。
思想,方法,资金管理——交易心理,交易方法和资金管理——有时有人问我哪个最重要。这等于问三脚椅的哪条腿最重要。拿走一条腿,再坐上去试试吧。在第2部分,我们重点谈成功交易的3个基础。
CHAPTER FOUR MIND … THE DISCIPLINED TRADER1
第04章 思想——有纪律的交易者
Traders e to the markets with great expectations; but few make profits and most wash out。 The industry hides good statistics from the public; while promoting its Big Lie that money lost by losers goes to winners。 In fact; winners collect only a fraction of the money lost by losers。 The bulk of losses goes to the trading industry as the cost of doing business … missions; slippage; and expenses … by both winners and losers。 A successful trader must hop over several high hurdles … and keep hopping。 Being better than average is not good enough … you have to be head and shoulders above the crowd。 You can win only if you have both knowledge and discipline。
交易者进入市场,都有很大的期望,但只有很少的人赚钱了,大部分人都被洗出局了。上市公司向公众隐瞒真实的数据,却不断撒谎,造成输家的钱流入赢家的口袋。事实上,赢家只是拿了输家的一部分钱。很多人亏损的钱被这个行业的公司赚去了——佣金,滑点亏损和其它费用——赢家和输家都要付钱。成功的交易者要跳越过这些障碍——不停地跳。比平均水平高不算很好——你要站在大众的头上。如果你有知识,还有纪律,你才会赢。
Most amateurs e to the markets with half…baked trading plans; clueless about psychology or money management。 Most get hurt and quit after a few painful hits。 Others find more cash and return to trading。 We do not have to call people who keep dropping money in the markets losers because they do get something in return。 What they get is fantastic entertainment value。
大部分业余选手的交易计划根本不完善,根本没有心理和资金管理方面的计划,他们就进入了市场。大部人都会受伤,痛苦几次之后就会退出。其他人又找了一些钱再次进入市场。我们不必呼吁他们不要在市场亏钱,因为他们也有收获。他们的收获就是奇妙的娱乐价值。
Markets are the most entertaining places on the face of the Earth。 They are like a card game; a chess game; and a horse race all rolled into one。 The game goes on at all hours … you can always find action。
市场是这个地球上最能娱乐人的地方。就像打扑克,下棋,赛马一样。这些游戏随时都有——你永远有动手的机会。
An acquaintance of mine had a terrible home life。 He avoided his wife by staying late in the office; but the building closed on weekends; pushing him into the bosom of his family。 By Sunday mornings he could take no more “family togetherness” and escaped to the basement of his house。 There he had set up a trading apparatus; using the equipment loaned to him by another loser in exchange for a share of future profits。 What can you trade on a Sunday morning in suburban Boston? It turned out that the gold markets were open in the Middle East。 My acquaintance used to turn on his quote screen; get on the phone (this was in the pre…Internet days); and trade gold in Abu Dhabi!
我的一个熟人,他的家庭生活很糟糕。他在办公室待到很晚,以回避他的妻子,但是周末大楼不开放,没办法只好回家。在周日的早上,他不想和老婆见面,就躲到地下室。他有交易设备,是另一个输家赔给他的。他准备做期货赚钱。在波士顿郊区的周日早上,你能交易什么?原来中东的黄金市场是开放的。我的这个熟人就打开波动报价器,拿起电话(这还是互联网以前的事),开始交易阿布扎比的黄金!
He never asked himself what his edge was over local traders。 What has he got; sitting in a bucolic suburb of Boston; that they haven’t got in Abu Dhabi? Why should locals send him money? Every professional knows his edge; but ask an amateur and he’ll draw a blank。 A person who doesn’t know his edge does not have it and will lose money。 Warren Buffett; one of the richest investors on Earth; says that when you sit down to a game of poker; you must know within 15 minutes who is going to supply the winnings; and if you don’t know the answer; that person is you。 My Boston buddy wound up losing his house in a bankruptcy; which put a whole new spin on his marital problems; even though he no longer traded gold in Abu Dhabi。
他从不问问自己,他比当地人的优势是什么。他坐在波士顿的郊区,有什么东西是阿布扎比的人所没有的?当地人为什么要给他钱?每个专业人士都知道自己的优势是什么,但是你问业余选手,他就不知道。一个人如果不知道自己的优势,那么他就没有优势,他就会亏钱。沃伦·巴菲特,是全球最富有的投资者之一,他说当你坐下来打扑克时,你必须在15分钟内搞清楚谁是给赢家送钱的人,如果你不知道答案,你就是那个人。我的波士顿伙计最后亏损破产,输掉了自己的房子,虽然他再也不交易阿布扎比的黄金了,他的婚姻也没有好转。
Many people; whether rich or poor; feel trapped and bored。 As Henry David Thoreau wrote almost two centuries ago; “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation。”
很多人,不管是富人还是穷人,都觉得自己深陷泥潭,烦躁。就像差不多100年前的亨利·大卫·索罗写的那样:“大部分人都在绝望中生活。”
We wake up in the same bed each morning; eat the same breakfast; and drive to work down the same road。 We see the same dull faces in the office and shuffle papers on our old desks。 We drive home; watch the same dumb shows on TV; have a beer; and go to sleep in the same bed。 We repeat this routine day after day; month after month; year after year。 It feels like a life sentence without parole。 What is there to look forward to? Perhaps a brief vacation next year? We’ll buy a package deal; fly to Paris; get on a bus with the rest of the group; and spend 15 minutes in front of the Triumphal Arch and half an hour going up the Eiffel Tower。 Then back home; back to the old routine。
每天早上我们在同样的床上醒来,吃同样的早餐,在同样的路上开车上班。在办公室看见的是同样的苦脸,在办工作上马马虎虎地翻文件。我们开车回家时,看着同样的愚蠢做秀电视,喝酒,到同样的床上去睡觉。我们日复一日地重复这些例行的事,月复一月,年复一年。感觉就像是没有假释的无期徒刑。有什么好期盼的?也许是明年有个短暂的假期?我们购买了全程服务,飞到巴黎,和组团的其他人一起上车,在凯旋门前面待15分钟,在艾菲尔铁塔上面待30分钟。然后回家,过以前的例行生活。
Most people live in a deep invisible groove … no need to think; make decisions; feel the raw edge of life。 The routine does feel fortable … but deathly boring。
大部分过着隐性的理想生活——不用思考,不用做决定,感觉生活的无聊。例行工作确实舒服——但无聊死了。
Even amusements stop being fun。 How many Hollywood movies can you watch on a weekend until they all bee a blur? How many trips to Disneyland can you take before all the rides in plastic soap dishes feel like one endless ride to nowhere? To quote Thoreau again; “A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called games and amusements of mankind。 There is no play in them。”
即使是现在的娱乐项目也不搞笑了。有多少部好莱坞的电影能让你在周末坚持看下去?迪斯尼乐园的那些气垫船,感觉总是不知去哪里,你会去玩几次?再次引用索罗的话:“所谓的游戏和人类的娱乐下面隐瞒了刻板和了无生趣的绝望,根本没有乐趣。”
And then you open a trading account and punch in an order to buy 500 shares of Intel。 Anyone with a few thousand dollars can escape the routine and find excitement in the markets。
然后你开了一个账户,立刻买了500股英特尔的股票。任何人,只要有几千元,都可以逃离例行工作并在市场中找到刺激。
Suddenly; the world is in living color! Intel ticks up half a point … you check quotes; run out for a newspaper; and tune in for the latest updates。 If you have a puter at work; you set up a little quote window to keep an eye on your stock。 Before the Internet; people used to buy pocket FM receivers for market quotes and hide them in half…open desk drawers。 Their antennae; sticking out of desks of middle…aged men; looked like beams of light shining into prison cells。
突然,这个世界变的色彩斑斓起来。英特尔涨了0。5个点——你查波动报价,看所有的报纸,寻找最新的消息。如果你上班时有电脑,你会开个小窗口看波动。在互联网之前,人们喜欢买个调频收音机,把它藏在半开的抽屉里面。收音机的天线从桌子里面伸出来,桌上的中年男人,就像坐牢的人,看着那几线阳光。
Intel is up a point! Should you sell and take profits? Buy more and double up? Your heart is pounding … you feel alive! Now it’s up three points。 You multiply that by the number of shares you have and realize that your profits after just a few hours are close to your weekly salary。 You start calculating percentage returns … if you continue trading like that for the rest of the year; what a fortune you’ll have by Christmas!
英特尔涨了1个点!你要不要卖掉兑现利润?还是多买点等翻番?你的心怦怦地跳——你感觉活了!现在涨了3个点。你计算了一下,发现才几个小时,你赚的钱比周薪还多。你开始计算利润百分比——如果这样坚持到年底,到圣诞节时,你已经赚了很多钱了!
Suddenly you raise your eyes from the calculator to see that Intel has dropped two points。 Your stomach is tied in a knot; your face pushes into the screen; you hunch over; pressing your lungs; reducing the flow of blood to the brain; which is a terrible position for making decisions。 You are flooded with anxiety; like a trapped animal。 You are hurting … but you are alive!
突然,当你的眼睛从计算器抬起时,你发现英特尔跌了2个点。你开始揪心,你的脸变绿了,你弓着背,压着肺,减少流向大脑的血液,这种可怕的姿势不适合做决定。你充满了焦急,就像受困的野兽。你受伤了——但是你还活着!
Trading is the most exciting activity that a person can do with their clothes on。 Trouble is; you cannot feel excited and make money at the same time。 Think of a casino; where amateurs celebrate over free drinks; while professional card…counters coldly play game after game; folding most of the time; and pressing their advantage when the card count gives them a slight edge over the house。 To be a successful trader; you have to develop iron discipline (Mind); acquire an edge over the markets (Method); and control risks in your trading account (Money)。
一个人,只要还有衣服穿,交易就是最刺激的事。问题是,你无法既感到刺激,又同时赚钱。想想赌场,业余选手在那里为免费的饮料而高兴,然而专业人士坐在牌桌上冷静地思考,每局都是这样,大多数情况下,他们都不跟牌,如果他们的牌确实占优势,他们就会行动了。要想成为成功的交易者,你必须建立铁一样的纪律(思想),拥有优势(方法),控制账户的风险(资金管理)。
SLEEPWALKING THROUGH THE MARKETS
在市场中一相情愿
There is only one rational reason to trade … to make money。 Money attracts us to the markets; but in the excitement of the new game we often lose sight of that goal。 We start trading for entertainment; as an escape; to show off in front of our family and friends; and so on。 Once a trader loses his focus on money; his goose is cooked。
交易的唯一理性的原因是——赚钱。金钱把我们吸引到市场,但是在游戏的刺激中,我们失去了金钱的目标。我们开始为了娱乐而交易,就像是为了逃避家人和朋友。一旦一个交易者不再关注金钱,他就自己害了自己。
