Predator vs prey mindset professional#

Personally I don't know what else I could add that would help you.I believe that a professional orientation is helpful because I see it every day.of course there are bound to be exceptions.another way of putting it is, that I tend to be agressive in terms of ability to tolerate risk, to put on size in the market and in terms of looking for opportunity.I was trained to be agressive with respect to those elements of trading.otherwise I tend to be more thoughtful and subdued in my approach.I notice that some very successful individuals have a similar orientation to the market. I think the answer to your question is that it depends on the individual (as I stated in my original comment). But masking something doesn't make it go away, and counter balances can swing wildly the other way. So my question is, does the predator mentality cause more stress or less stress? I suppose a predator mentality could mask stress, or be a very strong counter balance against it.

I'm not sure that the investment industry is keeping the world in a healthy balance. The system of killing and eating the weak and the young in the animal world keeps things in balance.

But it seems like poor people have more children. If people who make a lot of money in the investment world, are genetically superior, then they should have more children in order to keep the genetic pool healthy.

'Feeding' off the young and the weak in the investment markets doesn't solve the overpopulation problem. Trading is a system of high attrition, but it doesn't kill off large percentages of the population. Plagues and wars killed off large percentages of the population in the past, but we haven't had any big plagues lately. But we are also keeping more and more people alive with better standards of living and modern medicine. Human's do find innovate and better weapons to kill each other off. When lemmings overpopulate, they all run over a cliff into the sea and die. The human population is growing out of control. Many of the young, weak and sick need to killed off, and eaten, or the population would go out of control. The natural world is a system of overcompensation to balance out high attrition. And in the animal world, that system works very well. In nature you do not see a cheetah stalking the largest, meatiest animal instead, it stalks the youngest and weakest.

Predator vs prey mindset how to#

Is it morally right? Is it morally right for you to lose money in the market to someone who knows how to take it from you? So, is it wrong if you take money from others that are less skilled at trading than you? As long as you are not breaking rules, then there is nothing wrong with it, since if you are not breaking the rules, you are playing by them. Personally, I have a mixture of feelings about the whole investment industry, how it works, who it benefits, and what the implications are for the predators and the victims. Is this view of trading good in the long term? Can it affect your life outside of trading? Is it morally right or wrong? I guess I would practice opportunistic and 'predatory' strategies in the sense that it will make a profit. And I'm not saying that I wouldn't, sort of, engage in those things myself when trading. I get the impression that some traders take on this mentality, and this point of view as a strategy to put themselves into a mental state that helps them to be more objective and disciplined in their trading. I think that adapting a mentality of being ruthless, predatory, opportunistic and stalking your 'prey' may help some people be more successful at trading. Does predatory activity happen in the market all the time? Does a predatory mindset help in trading?
