Anirudh Sethi Report

As traders, fear and greed are the two emotions that we commonly handle in our trading decisions.

But I believe another emotion that we also sometimes experienced would be – anger.

Most traders have learned to be calm and sensible during trading. But there would certainly be times times when we fumed at missing out a fantastic trade, for not buying more contracts of a great trade, or frustrated for committing that same trading blunder again.

We would blame just about anything or anyone when our trading suffered. Somehow we didn’t realize that the anger have originated from us.

I recently read a book called “Zero Limits” co-written by Dr Joe Vitale & Dr Hew Len. The book was quite an eye-opening read. It mentioned that we are the one who are fully responsible for any circumstances which are happening within & around us.

When we encountered another person pouring out his or her frustrations, whether they were meant for us or not, we should accept that we were partly responsible for that happening, since his or her frustrations had come into our lives.

Naturally, we are responsible for our own anger too.

The way to resolve this would be, strange it may sound, is to keep cleansing ourselves by constantly repeating the phrases “I love you”, “I’m sorry”, “Please forgive me” and “Thank you” to ourselves.

According to the book, these are simple but powerful words that we convey to the Divine. We connect to the Divine by expressing our love and gratitude to him. At the same time, we seek the Divine’s forgiveness of our wrong doings.

Saying these 4 phrases will cleanse the memories of greed, fear and anger associated with anything (including trading) as we give in to the Divine to handle the situation for us.

We would experience a peace of mind that the Divine is taking care of us. Another positive outcome of cleansing ourselves is that we are now open to receive the inspirations from the Divine for us to act upon.

I encourage you to read more about this ancient Hawaiian practice called Ho’oponopono from “Zero Limits” to experience this positive feeling.

I hope that in time you will gradually banish your anger not only in your trading but also in other parts of your life.

“I love you”, “I’m sorry”, “Please forgive me”, “Thank you”.

My lessons may have been costly ,but they brought with them a kind of undertstanding more precious than gold.

Playing the market is much different from being an investor.

Pride is another word for stupidity if you claim credit for profits temporarily created by a bull market run wild.

Paper profits are the illision of wealth created by the myopia of greed.

Margin is a secuctive temptress more enticing than Delilah-and far more dangerous.

Money doesn’t make people better ;it just allows them to become kinder and more charitable.

Losing money doesn’t mean you’re a fool ,just as making a fortune doesn’t prove you’re a genius.

Maturity means knowing how to cope with failure-and with sucess.

The market respects those who treat is seriously and research it thoroughly ;it mocks those who think its rewards are freely granted to the followers of friendly tips and exicted phone calls from “helpful” strangers.

Just as in every other game of chance ,all of your winning should never be left on the table.

The law of gravity was not repealed for the sake of Dalal street ;even there the rule still holds that “whatever goes up must come down .”

Forgiveness is a virtue even to myself ;I can forgive the fact that I failed-because I know that Iam not a failure.
