Right Person
Hello Mr. Seykota;
I would like to ask some questions about trading psychology.
I
am a new trader and I am 27 years old. I had a successful food business
and my company funded by investors 2 years ago. But there is a silent
financial crisis in Turkey right now. So I decided to move from my
company and start to make new business at financial markets.
Trading
in stock markets is hard for now. I am especially focus on stock
markets for now and trying to learn future markets as well. Every
weekend I am going to educational meetings to learn future markets.
I read your speech at Jack's Stock Market Wizards. You are my idol actually.
I
really want to be a successful trader. My main objectives are, in
Turkey commerce is very hard right now, I need a huge capital to start
new business. On the other hand in soon future I believe crise will be
geting worse. Thats why I prefer to learn stock markets and stay here.
Another reason is my capital not enough for new business.
For
nine month I read everything I can find about financial markets and try
to increase my culture. Last three months I started trading in stocks.
First month I gain +%10 of my total capital. Last two month I lost -%20
of my total capital. Beside trading, I am learning #C coding language
to build profitable algo-robots.
I really want to make this business for my life and be successful by earnin money.
There is one thing that I don't understand about trading. Normally I live my life fast. People say that I am impatient man. And I realize that being impatient is almost one of the worse situation in trading. And I am all alone, I have no advisor or I dont have anyone to help me to make my decisions better.
I think this subject includes behavioral financial psychology.
I would like to ask you, do you think am I right person to trading? Do you have any advice for me?
If you answer me I would be really happy :)
Best Regards

Thank you for sharing your process.
You seem to sense considerable difficulty in your current commercial environment.

Wants More TSP
Dear Ed,
I write this email with two intentions.
(1)
I want this email to find you healthy because I find you update the FAQ
in a relative slow frequency, compared to before, and i don't know why
i can't help contacting you to know you are well-being. Maybe I learn a
lot from your website and i develop some intimate relationship with you
strangely, so I want to know you are good.
(2) I want
to know if there any chance you would finish the whole TSP in the
website, there are some subjects still left to finish.
|
Thank you for asking about me - and for asking about TSP.
I wonder if you might like to help complete it.

Right Track
Dear Ed,
Not sure if you will reply this.
I
have been trading or gambling in the stock market for many years.
Didn't have a fix trading plan as I was hopping around to find the
"holy grail". Since late last year, finally I reflected and asked if I
wanted to keep gambling on. I went on to study price patterns and tried
for a while, mainly trading on breakout. Made some lost more. Didn't
really have a fixed plan. Only know my loss and profit target.
I have been trying to condition my mind to accept the fact that:
1) I can't control the market
2)
If I trade the breakout, I am prepared for a pull back to the breakout
point and add on my position (I used to have an issue with seeing my
gains get evaporated, close my position too early and it just takes
off).
3) Let the market "show hand" and points you to the direction it intends to mo
It
is still not a very fixed plan. I am trying to draft some rules to make
my trading more fixed. For example on the weekly chart if 20EMA is
above 50 EMA, look for long trades in daily chart and vice versa for
short.
Is that on the right track?

Heartbeat:
Concentration and Redistribution
Ed:
First time writer but have read a lot about you on my journey to
financial independence. My write-up relates to “will re-distribution if
wealth avert the path the nation is in today?”
- - - - -
Just like the life cycle of markets, the life cycle of civilizations
goes through a revolution where the have-nots pushed against the wall
will overthrow the existing political structure and haves. This re-set
the clock for a new order, which over time moves towards another group
of haves and have-nots over time and leads to another revolution. Will
and Ariel Durant, the famous historians based on their study of
civilizations came to this conclusion. The mention that in ancient
Greece, in594 B.C.. Solon a businessman of aristocratic lineage,
secured his election to the supreme archonship with support from
moderate elements within Athens. This was at a time when the Greek
civilization was seeing the gradual re-distribution of wealth into
fewer and fewer hands amongst its masses. The poor found their
positions worsen with each passing year. Their masters mostly dictated
governmental policies, and the corrupt courts protected these
positions, unfavorable towards the poor. There were talks of violent
revolt in the air as the poor were now left with little recourse. The
rich in turn, were angrily getting re-tooled to defend their wealth
with force.
He saw the implications of what was going on and went about major
changes, which essentially saved Athens for another 100-200 years. He
engineered a social re-distribution of wealth (devalued the currency,
thereby easing the burden of all debitors, despite losses on his credit
to others, reduced all personal debt, and ended imprisonment for debt,
cancelled arrears for taxes and mortgage interest, he introduced a
graduated income tax that made the rich pay at a rate 12 times that
required by the poor, he reorganized courts on a more opular basis, and
arranged that the sons of those who had died in war for Athens should
be brought up and educated at the governments expense). The rich
protested that his measures were robbing the rich and amounted to
confiscation, the radicals criticized him for him not re-dividing the
land, but within a generation almost all agreed that his reforms had
saved Athens from revolution. A contrasting picture emerged in Rome,
where the Roman Senate (133 BC to 30 BC), known for its wisdom
blundered. They adopted an uncompromising course when the concentration
of wealth approached an explosive point in Italy; the result was a 100
years of class and civil war. The Reformation, and the violent French
and American revolution was also a re-distribution of wealth.
Someone perhaps read history such that the government of the United
States, in 1933-52 ad 1960-65 followed Solon’s peaceful methods. The
social support with Social security, Education grants, Medicare,
Medicaid, accomplished a moderate and peaceful redistribution, perhaps
some had read history. The upper class in America cursed, complied, and
resumed the concentration of wealth.
Durant concludes that the concentration of wealth is natural and
inevitable, and is periodically alleviated by violent or peaceful
partial redistribution. In this view all economic history is the slow heartbeat of the
social organism, a vast systole and diastole of concentrating wealth
and compulsive redistribution.
Given increasing income in-equality in the past 30 years, can the
ascendancy of the current President be seen through the lenses of this
cycle in civilization and unless there is re-distribution of wealth
(healthcare reform, education reform, tax reform, infrastructure
reform) we are in for trouble as a nation?

Wants to Join
a Tribe
Dear Mr. Seykota,
I am an Electrical Engineering student at UT-Austin. I write because I
recently embarked on my journey as an aspiring trader, and would like
to kindly request your counsel.
I was introduced to the world of trading by a close friend on March
this year and fell in love with the subject. Since then, I have been
researching the topic, specially the mental and emotional side of it. I
wish to be mentally and emotionally prepared for trading before
committing resources to it.
Just earlier this morning, I found your Trading Tribe process through
Quora and strongly identified with it. In special, I was struck by your
goal of achieving right livelihood. I am not sure if you refer to the
same concept of right livelihood as explained in the buddhists' Noble
Eightfold Path, but either way, I deeply relate to striving for such
goal.
I seek to be happy and in harmony with life as I grow as a trader, so I
wanted to respectfully ask if you would recommend me to seek membership
in a Trading Tribe now, or if I should wait and seek membership later
on when I have actually committed resources to trading?
Thank you very much. I was grateful to find your Trading Tribe process.
Best regards,
|
Thank
you for sharing you process.
You can start your own Tribe, whenever you like.
To get an idea about how to go about this, read through FAQ, read my
book, The
Trading Tribe or attend a Workshop.

Original
Thinker
Good evening Ed,
I am a 28 year old and for the last 2.5 years I have immersed myself
full time in understanding global financial markets.
I work part time each weekday doing some marketing work for a company (
pays the bills), but my
true passion as I have discovered is understanding the intricacies of
the financial market system to enhance returns for people,
in ways that is unmatchable anywhere else.
I have had no real success with school as my mind tends to think in
unusual ways which is not compatible with the formal, rigid, mechanical
mode of operation.
Maths and Physics were my favourite subjects for what is was worth.
I was the guy who could understand pretty advanced concepts but
couldn’t comprehend basic rules needed. I loved the way equations could
describe some sort of behaviour or phenomena.
My conclusion was simply that my brain sees things from all angles and
needs greater detail to make those connections then the majority of
other people. I found it hard to accept teachers conclusions most of
the time. It seemed incomplete for me.
I wanted to get into trading via a quant analyst, however there was no
way that was going to come to fruition given my issues learning in a
formal educational setting.
Naturally I seeked out psychologists and a psychiatrist to try and find
the root of my learning problems and lack of flexibility. When I get
immersed in something like a physics problem or math I find it near
impossible to take myself away from it even though in an exam I know I
need too, I like to find different ways of solving the problems.
They concluded that I had anxiety issues with perhaps a non verbal
learning disability and mild Aspergers. I absorb everything around me
and I automatically take it all apart without being able to consciously
control it.
For me, that didn’t explain what I was experiencing well, so I saw a
couple of alternate professionals in a Sharman and clairvoyants.
I had done my own research and came up with some conclusions and what
these professionals suggested was similar to how I thought.
They told me
that I have a brain wiring that is truly original and I
would be best served in operating on my own wavelength connecting with
professionals within your desired field of study who could help you
with funding, networking intricacies fo the business etc.
For what it
was worth, the Sharman ( who does clairvoyance) told me that my brain
was savant like in my ability to perceive complex patterns in market
data, that most advanced computer systems couldn’t and that it would
take a little time for me to decipher them, to then be able to generate
excess returns for people.
I am at my best when I work alone and have challenges in front of me,
no noise, no disturbances (unless prearranged with somebody to come and
visit me).
I enjoy others company from time to time, but I am at my best in my own
head. Verbalising my entire thought pattern is impossible and the most
frustrating thing for me.
So with an understanding of how my brain functions, I decided to buy as
many books as I could on the subject of derivatives trading as I
identified this area as the one where I could really create something
unique and a game changer for people. You can express your market view
long or short an asset which is wonderful. Pure alpha generation
without excuses that traditional asset manager can provide.
I learnt about the principles of Futures and options trading, bought
pretty much everything on the subject matter and flooded my brain with
all the info.
2016 I spent all year gathering data to find connections between each
market.
Commodities and Currency were my favourite markets at that stage.
This year I have being running mock futures accounts and I am on my
fourth currently, running a 500k account. Each was 2 months in
duration. From the weekend and the current account I combine weekend
trades with day to day 3-4 times per week.
I was successful the first time , however I went bust in my 100k
account and 250k account I was down 1.55%.
I used no stops for the last two, however the first one I did, and also
I changed bits and pieces every week for these accounts as well, but
treated all my trades ultra seriously as if I was running a
professional account for a client.
My style of trading is pure chart analysis as a discretionary trader I
suppose you could say. My best trades have come from capturing market
turns and with the stops I limited losses. I have found that duration wise I
would hold positions for 1-5 days.
I created a depiction of how the markets worked and it is like a battle
ground between greeds and melancholics. Greeds want the market
appreciating, and melancholics want it decaying. Trend Id is crucial in
my view, however I look at multi faceted time periods which gives great
perspective. I chart in candle forms only. I taught everything my self
and kept shoving my brain full of charts for different assets in order
to understand all types of situations that arise.
My inconsistency in performance has being as a result of unfamiliarity
of these different chart set ups, but I am getting close to deciphering
most of it to be able to run my real account and others.
Up trends certainly are more different then down trends.
Commodities are certainly more different then currency and stock
indices ... yet they are all similar as well. Retracement is a
fascinating concept really.
I wanted to connect with you to help me with what I should do as far as
my path is concerned ... I know absolutely I want to manage client
private accounts full time up to 20. I know my path is offbeat, and
also that my brain wiring is suited to this venture and the style I
have taken on.
All pattern recognition, instinctive minus any advanced algorithmic
trading systems which is where the bulk of managed money lies within
the managed futures industry. I think that I can provide something
really unique eventually.
In my mind I need to manage my own personal account and be able to run
it up pretty good, I am not sure whether I am best to do a mini futures
account or a CFD with lower margins but large size contracts with 100k
my father has given me?
I will start in January 2018 this venture and then hopefully take on
some more accounts externally.
I naturally think getting a CTA designation would be good, I understand
you have to take series 34 exams and then register with CFTC and NFA.
I have in depth trading info for my mock accounts and a sample
disclosure document I would give to clients (when the time may come), I
feel it’s important to prepare.
If you know what you want to do then I fingered I don’t want to waste
any time.
I would like to start 2019 full time managing accounts.
I would love to go to America and sit down and speak with people, like
yourself, jack schwager, Bruce kovner, Louis bacon, Linda raschke, al
Weiss, Ray Dalio etc to give them my story and how I can get this going
implementing my own unique approach.
I am truly thankful of any advice you can provide to me and am happy to
send you whatever I have.
Oh and my favourite markets would have to be industrial metals, and
developing stock indices. Especially RTS and IBovespa Futures.
Just a shame no broker besides those to hedge funds and CTA’s provide
you with access to base metal Futures like nickel and zinc.
Kind regards

Wants to
Understand
Hi Ed,
I am sending this email with two intentions:
1.
To better understand TTP
2.
To experience / employ TTP (once I understand
it
better)
As it
relates to TTP, throughout FAQ, you talk about experiencing
feelings instead of analysis.
In the TTP
process section, you offer the example of Art who
first analyzes his physical feeling of pain then “experiences”
it.
But his experiencing translates to a memory
of being beaten by his father in the same location as his physical
pain.
In a sense, analysis of his past led to this
realization. Clearly his was a cognitive
realization and thus required thought (instead of just
feeling). My intention in raising this point is to
understand the delineation between analysis, recollection / thought,
and
ultimately feeling. The lines strike me
as grey.
I am not a fan of public speaking. When I have to speak in
public, I feel very
specific things: increased heart rate, nervousness/butterflies, dry
mouth, anxiety,
etc.
Analysis (a
TTP no no) leads me to believe the root cause is
a fear of making a mistake and ultimately being judged
negatively. Rationally, all I am doing is talking (to a
crowd) and everyone makes mistakes. So,
there shouldn’t be a reason to be nervous.
Yet, this logical realization does not help to subdue the
feelings. Bottom line, analysis isn’t working but it
sounds like TTP could help to understand the positive intentions of the
feelings.
If I understand it right, Fred is trying to tell CM something
when I have unpleasant
public speaking feelings. However, as per the
example with Art above, I’m
a little unclear on how to experience the feelings to potentially
achieve an
aha. I also
don’t like the
feelings. My hope is to clarify how to
use TTP to lead to the positive intentions of Fred’s message(s) and
thus
embrace said messages/feelings so they become beneficial instead of
highly
unpleasant.
As you are
the father of TTP, I am seeking your
insight.
Thank you
|
Thank
you for sharing your process.
In Tribe Meetings we come to view the positive intentions of our
feelings.
We call a feeling and an associating judgment about that feeling (such
as you appear to have about public speaking) a k-not.
For more on k-nots and how to deal with them, you can read through FAQ
and also refer to my Book, The
Trading Tribe.
For starters, you might like to understand your feelings about wanting
to understand things.

I wonder if you could help me discover what I was meant to do and find
my right livelihood.
I would like to live with deep emotions and serenity and peace.
Hope you're doing well. Please update the website soon.
I would love to read what others are up to.

Hi Ed,
I want to learn to do what you do. That is perceive the world
differently.
I had a dream the other day where I'm in the library, and I pick up
your two books. I didn't see you there.
I'm thinking about making a tribe in Jakarta/Bali/Labuan Bajo.
I wonder if any of your readers would interested in starting up a
Tribe. I'm also wondering about the status of Tribes around the world.
I haven't seen any updates in a while.
Hope you and your Tribe are doing well.

Wants Help -
Again
Ed,
Over the summer, I had a deep feeling dream or "knowing" that outside
of the matrix Kobe Bryant is a garbage man. And maybe outside the
matrix, I am a sweeper.
I'd like to live outside the Matrix and be able to make money. In my
parents resort in Bali, I've already had too much karma and when I stay
there I get schizophrenic. I wonder if you could help with this.
I guess my one sincere help that I would request is to help my find my
right livelihood.
I don't know if I have anything I have to offer to you to repay you for
your time, but if there is please let me know.
Thanks for listening,

Wants Help
Hi Ed,
How are you? It's been a while. I'm writing to you for some help.
I feel like I'm back in another cycle and I can't stop thinking.
Yesterday I play with my mom's friend who reads akashic cards. And the
cards she pull out when I get into my feelings I can feel her cards.
Also sometimes when I dream and when I am awake I get deep feelings. I
went with an orphanage to go camping and while I slept outside on a hut
in the middle of nature. I hear a voice from a certain person whom I've
met only once talk to me that says "this is expensive."
I freak out and take that to mean that whatever ails me is expensive to
fix. Either financially or spiritually or something. I get again into
my deep feelings and I get the urge to do some motions that I learned
and also to sweep. The person that runs the camp tells me sweeping
cleans the heart.
I am a bit worried about going on in another cycle. Since being in Bali
I think I've been in two cycles already. First one had me dealing with
you, the second one has me dealing with another type of healer. There
are girls who play the same roles that I've attracted earlier.
I would
appreciate very much your assistance in breaking my cycle.
My heart is not in the right place and that's why the mind is going
crazy. This is what the lady tells me and I believe it. I'm wondering
if you can help reconnect my Fred and underfred or my conscious and
unconscious mind or my body, mind and spirit.
It's because I'm not producing anything, at this point I'm 7 years in
debt and I need a plan to pay back my debts. It's looking pretty
hopeless for me. My body feels like I just want to crash and not deal
with it. This is my pattern currently.
Please help.
Thanks,
|
Thank
you for reaching out to me.
You might consider this system for breaking your cycle.
1. Stop using drugs and alcohol.
2. Stop doing the steps in your cycle.
3. When strong feelings come up, take them to Tribe as entry points.
Let me know how willing you feel to stick to this system.

Bliss as a
Function of Heat
Dear Mr. Seykota,
I like to read your FAQ because it gives me a lot of knowledge and
enlightenment. Thank you so much for sharing the FAQ.
I am running some back test and did some calculations. I observe that
for a slightly profitable system, you can increase the bliss factor by
simply increasing the bet size or risk per trade.
Is my observation correct?
For a simplified example, in a forex pair, a trade entered at $1.0000,
with a stop loss at $0.9950 (50 pips risk). The price went up to 1.0200
and the trade closed out at 1.0100. Assume this is the only trade for
the year:
Can bliss be increased by increasing bet size?
Thank you
Regards,
|
Thank
you for raising this issue.
Normally, Bliss, MAR, and other volatility-nor return metrics decrease
with heat.
In the limit, with very high heat, you hit a losing streak and go broke.
Some increase-the-heat studies may show some cases of minor Bliss
increases along the road to ruin due to:
- faulty programming
- quirks in small position sizing.
Also, Bliss generally applies to the aggregation of a great many trades
- over a long period. I do not know how to interpret Bliss
for one trade.

Wants a Mentor
Mr. Seykota,
I am looking for a mentor. Something long term. Looking to grow. I am
in need of someone that won’t get excited about the type of returns I
make.
I believe I can be much better. I many times get in my own way. I need
an old school approach. Straight forward and to the point.
Tried a mentor and he told me what I wanted to hear. Not really
interested in theses new guy that only know how and not why they have
had success nor how to teach someone else.
I did four years Marines and six years as an Army Chaplin. I have been
trading for 17 years. I have been married 11 years and have six
children last two adopted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kelly
Criterion
Dear Ed,
I am a trader from India and read about you in the Market Wizards book
and have been following your articles on your website.
Thanks a lot for the informative and very useful article here:
http://www.seykota.com/tribe/risk/index.htm
I learnt a lot from this.
I have one question regarding the application of Kelly's formula to
actual trading.
Some traders recommend taking a bet size of half of what this formula
suggests to reduce the volatility and still get most of the returns.
How do you normally use this formula in your trading?
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
|
Thank
you for raising this issue.
I do not think about Kelly or his formula very much.
You might consider taking your feelings about <designing the
perfect system> to Tribe as an entry point.

Trading Couple
Dear Mr. Seykota,
I am in Taiwan and I am a at home stock trader. I bought your 2 books,
Oct 2017, and feel so many thanks to tell.
1. I ordered on the website and the charge for mail was $20, but
actually was $32.95. when I got books. It means you pay the rest of
$12.95.
Thank you.
2. From now, I try to use SVO-p as possible I can.
3. Although my reading progress is slow. But just from the first
section, I can feel the good energy you want to share, to encourage.
Thank you.
4. I am an introvert, but fortunately, I can discuss TTP with my wife.
She is also a trader, and we also develop software on our own. Now we
can see the drama when they appear, then we remind each other and feel
the feelings.
5. This year, a lot of things happened is Texas. I hope every thing is
fine in your area.
Best Regards,

Physics
Problem
Ed,
greetings. Hope you doing well. A friend of mine has a boating/physics
problem.
You are the smartest physics gentleman I know so I wanted to see if you
would be interested in helping him.
In general he is trying to get his sailboat under a 49 foot bridge
(with a safety margin of 4 feet) and his mast height is 53 ft. above
the water line. I have drawn a rudimentary picture which I can forward
that provides pertinent details (weight of boat, bridge width, etc).
He's trying to figure out what weight he'd have to add to the starboard
or port side to get the sailboat to list to the right or left and fit
under the bridge. Let me know if I should forward the picture.
Best,
|
Thank
you for sending me your physics problem.
Depending on the size and weight of the boat, you might consider:
1. waiting for low tide.
2. tying a starboard line to the mast and a port line to the
keel and then having the crew stand on opposite bridge column platforms
and ease her in.
Send me a video of what he finally does.

I hope this email to find you well.
I just want to tell you it was a great enjoy to read your book
Govopoly: In the 39th Days.
For me, the reading is like a trend , and I hop on
it and ride it to the end.
Your clear mind and Step-by-Step illustration in this book impressed me
so much.
I want to know is there any technique to keep the mind clear all the
time.
Thanks.

Wants to
Attend Tribe Meeting
Dear Ed,
I would like to join one of your Trading Tribes meetings. Currently the
tribe in Houston isn't active and I would like to learn more to see if
there is a way we can get it going again.
Please let me know if I can come to one of your meetings (I would
please need details on date and location as well)l. Thank you.

Thank
you for asking about the Austin Tribe.
I plan to launch another series early in 2018.
Meanwhile, you can start your own Tribe, say, in Houston.

Bitcoin and
Govopoly
Hi Ed,
I hope you're doing well! I'm curious if you have any
thoughts on bitcoin as it relates to your Govopoly theses. How does
this all play out! with government and the possibility of
hyperbitcoinization!?
PS. No need to share this last part, but I wanted to share with
you. I'm taking my series 65 in a few days and will
be launching my own independent Registered Investment
Advisory. I want every client to have a copy of
Govopoly :) Thanks for your profound influence on my life and
your commitment to the work.
Best regards,

Thank
you for sharing your process and for acknowledging my book.
In my opinion, Bitcoin poses little threat to the Govopoly System -
since you and I must pay a Federal Income Tax and pay it with
Federal Reserve Notes.
You might expect to see an increase in federal reporting
requirements at exchanges on which you convert between Dollars and
Bitcoin.

33-Year Old
Starts Crypto Fund
Hello Mr. Seykota,
I have been trading a while and develop my own way to see the market,
after understood what to do i started automating this investment and i
thought ... this is a pretty good way to profit, since im always
winning.
Then i thought, someone might have discovered this before me, and i
founded you... Michael Marcus, Bruce Kovner...
I read about your story, about your early days in Netherlands, i think
enviroment can affect a lot on your way to see the World.
Well i have being an entrepreneur here in Brasil for a while now.
Im 33 years old, computer programmer, husband and soon to be a father.
For me will be a pleasure to get to know you and at least meet you one
day since you pioneer in automating trading. It is good to
see that even today this is still very breakthro and even more for
countries like mine, here in Brasil.
Now with access to the financial market thru cryptocurrency a kid of 5
years old can build a automated trading system and this is amazing.
I recently developed ... a fully automated cryptocurrency fund where
ive been working since Feb.
Hope to hear your thoughts, it is a honor for me even send you a
message.
Best Regards,
|
Thank
you for sharing your process.
I'd like to know if you ever find your fund or your self on the cover
of a magazine.
