亚历山大 埃尔德博士是美国著名的交易大师和交易教育专家。在他的新著《到我交易室来》(Come to My Trading Room)一书中有许多精辟的论断。其中有一段特别有意思,现引如下:“Trading is very different from physics and mathematics, where genius reveals itself early. In science, if you are not a star by the time you’re 25,you’ll never be one. Trading, on the contrary is an old man’s game , and now increasingly a woman’s. Patience is a virtue and memory a great asset. If you slightly improve each year, you can grow into a brilliant trader.” (交易与物理、数学非常不同,在物理数学领域天才很早就崭露头角。在科学领域如果你到25岁还未成为明星,那你就不永远不可能成为明星。交易则相反,是老人的竞技,现在越来越成为女人的游戏。在这一行里耐心是种优点,记忆力变得十分重要。如果你每年有所长进的话,你可以成长为一名战绩辉煌的交易家。”他还引用他的好友泰勒的话:“如果我每年增长0.5%的聪敏,到我死时我就会变成天才”(I f I becomehalf a percent smarter each year, I’ll be a genius by the time I die.” 埃尔德认为这句玩笑充满了智慧。 (There was a great deal of wisdom in his joke)

纵观交易界,许多老人依旧活跃,光耀不减。巴菲特、索洛斯、威廉姆斯,连格老也被布什总统所追捧,(他虽现在不是在交易界)。反而许多青年才俊红极一时,却又悄然消失。我想年纪老经历的事情多必然会增长经验,增强心理承受力。而按照埃尔德的理论,成功的交易商要具备三个M( Successful trading is based on the 3M’s---Mind, Method, Money.---No matter how clever, is responsible for only third of your success. You also need to have sound trading psychology and proper money management) 然而,经历的事情多但不长记性也不行,所以记忆力也很重要。孔夫子说过“君子不贰过”,就是说同样的错误不能犯两次,否则就不是君子。在交易上犯错误是正常的。但一再犯同样的错误,那就是朽木不可雕辈了。比如不止损输光了,以后还是不止损,那有多少钱可以供你输呢。5 f& N: M8 H6 j7 T& Q
