Trading as a way of life: Jihan Bowes Little at TEDxASL

[@IB_Trader01]

Those of us who trade the Markets day in and day out understand what he’s talking about. If you decide to learn about the markets and learn how to trade them it will be the hardest thing you will do in life... you are your own worst enemy! But once that lightbulb goes off... your life will never be the same. The freedom it will give you is well worth the sleepless nights looking at charts and checking futures... the erratic emotions are unlike any other. I will never keep a normal 9to5. It’s not the PnL that drives me... it’s being a better trader and honing my craft!

This just popped up for me as a recommended video, and this as the first comment. It's been 3 years now. How are you all looking in terms of profitability and progress? Just curious.....

[@borys444]

This man speaks of the forgotten indicator which is the most powerful tool any trader will find: THE MIND. Trading is entirely based on the never ending goal for attaining self mastery. The individuals thought and lifestyle process is a simple reflection on its 2nd party which happens to be ur p/l (a statistical way to judge past/present outcome). The overall message to take home is to quiet the mind in order to ensure a higher probability in maximizing edge and finding readiness within yourself...best of luck to all traders going into 2018.

Cutting losses when things go against you, and maximising wins is really the key as you say.

[@SmilingAngelina]

Except, he didn't.

[@edwardkowalski8125]

You don’t even need to maximize gains all you have to do is have an edge of 70/30 or 75/25 and keep your losing trades under control

[@BWT599]

To all the haters, you're probably not in the stage of trading this guy is speaking to. He's not necessarily targeting the noob trader, but as a second year trader his presentation really reinforced a lot of the key concepts I'm trying to develop, specifically as a trader who trades the trader (just like the book).

[@michaeldouglastv6641]

I use trading psychology videos from KZbin in my class every Monday. Today's will be special because I'm definitely playing this 🔥 🔥 🔥 👏🏿👏🏿

[@lourdesecheverria6209]

TRUEST TRUTH! Love it! Want more, Where are you Jihan Bowes??

[@cxaservices8376]

This is quite interesting and informative, But most trader's fail because they give up quick it takes time, patient and lot's of trading experience to become a profitable trader, An alternative seek guidance from some pro trader's and more to avoid loses of funds.

[@cxaservices8376]

In all my years of trading and research the most valuable insight was getting in touch with a pro trader Briggs Donald and ever since i started investing with him have been making cool profits like never before, will recommend him as one of the best trader have come across due to my experience with him.

[@cxaservices8376]

I'm not bragging a trial will definitely prove, you can reach him via mail at

[@ariadnacebrian4171]

what a flourishing coincidence so you invested with Briggs Donald also? this man is really dominating the trading zone and making things easy for his investors, keep the good woks sir.

[@wilsonjohn1399]

This is exactly how i got recommendation about him and gave a trial though i was a bit skeptical at first, but after i made $7k as my first profit i can boldly say he's the real deal with profitable strategies.

[@siegelmc9061]

Due to my experience with him, He understands the market movements and knows when exactly to call/put with this, risk rate and loss rate has totally been less. Never met him in person, but work with him for a month and you'll be able to tell he's a genius and a goal getter. Never met a better mentor and philanthropist like Mr. Briggs Donald, keep the good works sir.

Market - Stock going up in intraday Me - Let m book even book 1% profit and don’t let evaporate the profits. Market - Stock is going down in intraday. Me - Ahh, i cannot be wrong, it will go up by the end of the day. Let it slip down even to 10%. Consequences - High depression

[@pjdmoneymantrading2858]

Don't hate this guy. After all the technical and fundamental analysis, it comes down to what he is talking about which is largely psychology and self believe. As he stated, there is no fail proof strategy, its how YOU see the market.

[@vadimo8]

Incredible talent, watch out for Jihan (aka Metis), great lecture and spoken words delivery.

[@guitpizz]

I find buying low and selling high way to risky. Part of my risk management is to stay out of the market most of the week and go for a quick elevator down ride going short. I find that 2 or 3 belong red candle can undo several days or even weeks of trading. I trust panic way more than greed.

[@RealTommySal]

So many trades I bailed out last minute for a loss out of fear for it to double or triple in price.

[@happilydivorced3235]

I feel you😂

[@ekesaderrick8916]

This is so wrong, you don't need to trade a larger risk to win big, you will be wiped out! Edge is finding a strategy where your wins are much larger than your losses while risking the same amount. It's risk to reward.

[@edwardkowalski8125]

Right or if you have a 75/25 edge you risk the same amount and keep your losses under control if you do this you can return 35-70% a year on capital and your wins don’t even need to be bigger than your losses you just have to get out at your loss hard stop

If you are looking for trading insight, imo look elsewhere. tedx talks seem to be more and more generic. To sum this one up: markets cannot be changed and cannot be influenced; 1) know your edge, know when to bet big to win big, 2) buy low, sell high 3) be yourself. oh, and you can hear his impromptu rap. Not saying he's bad. Just didn't seem very informational or instructional overall for "trading as a way of life"
