I am particularly interested in the psychology of trading. I believe that in order to become a good trader, you have to be able to know and master the self. With little discipline, you will lose money before you have a chance to develop what is a lifelong skill and a chance to achieve financial freedom. Many beginners strike it lucky the first time they play and think they are gifted traders. I was one such beginner. Fortunately for my account, I realised very quickly that discipline (and its cousin, money management) is just as important as having a good strategy. It is for this reason why I also believe that you do not need to have a clever system in order to make money trading, nor do you have to be educated, a genius or gifted.

My "day job" is coincidentally (ok, maybe not) in psychotherapy.
