    Study Notes

    Insights on Trading: Styles, Career Path, and Probability Business

    • There are two styles of trading: discretionary and mechanical systems based.

    • Discretionary traders evaluate potential trades based on their trading plan and experience, while mechanical systems are trading strategies that a computer program can execute.

    • Both styles have advantages and disadvantages, and the book focuses heavily on discretionary systems.

    • Day trading is a career and a business, and it takes time and investment to become profitable.

    • Real time simulators and the tools and software required for a trading business are not cheap, and a typical education cost for a trader is between $1,000 to $2,000.

    • Trading in a simulator and taking the time to gain a proper education is vital, and going live with real money should only happen after earning consistent profits when trading in a simulator for several months.

    • The stock market is random, but there are certain trading patterns that appear almost every single day, and as a trader, your job is to find and properly trade those.

    • Execution is equally important as recognizing trade patterns, and proper risk/reward trades can make more money than you will lose in the long term.

    • Trading is a game of probability and statistics, and understanding the risk and probability that is inherently involved in it is crucial.

    • The Monty Hall problem is a famous brain teaser and puzzle that highlights the difficulty in grasping the concept of chance and probability.

    • The probability of winning a prize in the Monty Hall problem can be increased by switching to the unopened door, even though the process is not random.

    • The bottom line is that although the market is random, it is possible to make consistent money from it by finding and executing good trades based on recognized trading patterns while managing risk and probability.The Monty Hall Problem and the Importance of Examining Situations from Multiple Angles

    • The Monty Hall problem involves a game show where a contestant chooses one of three doors in hopes of winning a prize.

    • After the contestant selects a door, the host, Monty Hall, opens one of the other two doors to reveal a goat behind it.

    • The contestant is then given the option to switch their choice to the remaining unopened door or stick with their original choice.

    • Contrary to intuition, the probability of winning the prize is actually higher if the contestant switches their choice to the unopened door.

    • This is because the host's decision to reveal a goat door provides new information that changes the probability of the prize being behind the unopened door.

    • The Monty Hall problem is an example of conditional probability.

    • The problem is often misunderstood because it involves only three doors, making the probabilities appear closer than they actually are.

    • The problem becomes clearer when scaled up to 100 doors, where the probability of winning changes drastically after the host reveals 98 goat doors.

    • The Monty Hall problem illustrates the importance of examining situations from multiple angles in order to see the true probabilities and make informed decisions.

    • In trading, it is important to accept that losses are a normal part of the process and not to question one's strategy or abilities after experiencing a loss.

    • Accepting losses and continuing to make trades with a risk/reward ratio higher than 1:3 can lead to long-term profitability.

    • The Monty Hall problem demonstrates that initial impulses are often wrong and that obvious conclusions do not lead to money-making opportunities.
