Many traders look at the fact that they’re human as a disadvantage or liability in trading, since humans have emotions and emotions are often the cause of poor trading.
Many think that it would be good to be like a machine: set your rules and follow them like a robot. In this regard, yes machines or computers would have the advantage in that they are emotion-less.
But as a human, you also have powers available to you that a computer just doesn’t have, and if you’ll put them to use, you can give yourself a huge edge in your trading.
Here’s the video,
Your ability as a human may have its down-sides in that you have the ability to feel, but you also have the most powerful computer on the planet, so use your powers and trade better.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Cheers
