Market profile not for everyone!
市场分布不适合所有人！
Somebody asked about market profile. Do I use market profile in my trading? I spent a week with Peter Steidlmayer back — I think 1988 or something, early on. He was getting a lot of publicity then about market profile trading. I think it’s a stupid idea, and I probably lost $3,000 trading that week. I don’t remember. I lost a lot of money. And he was standing right there over my shoulder, and I just think it’s a dumb idea. I think it’s a bad way to portray price action.
有人问到市场轮廓。我在交易中会用市场轮廓吗？我大约在1988年初，和彼得·斯泰德麦耶尔待了一周。当时他因为市场轮廓交易而获得很多宣传。我觉得这是个愚蠢的主意，那周我大概亏了$3,000。我不记得了，我亏了很多钱。他就在我肩后看着我，我觉得这真是个笨主意。我认为这是描绘价格行为（PA）的糟糕方式。
There are many ways to portray it. You can use point and figure charts that portrays it; you can use a line chart; you can use a dot chart. To me, most traders use some form of candle charts. Institutional traders — a lot of them use just line charts. You can use a DOM; that portrays price action as well. But I personally think market profile — you’ll lose money if you do it. To me, I say this — and I apologize in advance: It’s so easy to make money off a five-minute chart that — a day like this, I probably see 40, 50, 60 trades on a day like this. Obviously, I don’t take them all, but why would I ever use anything else? Where else can I see that many trades? I know Richard is listening in and he likes using the DOM (Depth of Market) , but I see far more things on a five-minute chart than I could ever see on the DOM or any other kind of chart. Just listen to me all day long; I’m just talking about what the market is telling me it’s probably going to do.
有多种方式可以表现它。你可以使用点数图表来表现它；你可以使用线图；你也可以使用点图。在我看来，大多数交易者都使用某种形式的蜡烛图。机构交易者——他们中的许多人只使用线图。你可以使用DOM（深度图）；它也能表现价格行为。但我个人认为，如果你使用市场剖面图，你会亏钱。我想说的是——我提前道歉：从5分钟图表中赚钱是如此简单，像今天这样的交易日，我可能看到40、50、60笔交易。显然，我不会全部交易，但为什么我还要使用其他任何东西呢？在哪里我能看到这么多交易机会？我知道理查德在听，他喜欢使用DOM（市场深度图），但我在5分钟图表上看到的东西远比我在DOM或其他任何图表上看到的要多。整天听我说就好了；我只是在谈论市场告诉我它可能会做什么。
If market profile works for you…
如果市场剖面图对你有用……
So let me say one other thing about market profile . If a person likes using the market profile chart and if a person’s consistently making money and they’re really happy doing it, I think they should do it. I think if a person likes indicators, or bands, or tick charts, or volume charts, or one-minute charts, or 15-second charts, or hour charts, and they’re happy, and they’re consistently making money, they should do it. If they like oscillators, same thing, right. To me, if you’re making money as a trader, you deserve admiration and respect because you’re doing a wonderful thing. You’re doing something hard and you’re doing it really well, and then if you’re happy doing it, that’s even so much better.
再说一下市场轮廓图的事。如果有人喜欢用市场轮域图，并且一直在赚钱，而且做得很开心，我觉得他们应该继续这么做。同样，如果有人喜欢指标、布林带、Tick图、成交量图、1分钟图、15秒图、小时图，并且觉得开心、一直在赚钱，那就该坚持用下去。喜欢振荡指标也是一样的道理。在我看来，作为交易者能赚钱的人，值得钦佩和尊重，因为他们在做一件不容易的事，而且做得很好；如果他们在这种过程中还感到快乐，那就更加难能可贵了。
If this is your career, you have to like what you’re doing. You have to come into the day every day. You just can’t wait to get started. So part of what you do as a trader is you explore; you try different things; you try market profile; you try indicators; you try one-minute charts; you try 60-minute charts, but you just got to find where you’re comfortable and you got to find where you can make money. However, to me it does not matter what you do.
如果你把这当成自己的事业，你就必须喜欢你所做的事情。你必须每天都投入到交易中。你应该迫不及待地想要开始。所以，作为交易者，你的一部分工作就是探索；尝试不同的方法；尝试市场剖面图；尝试指标；尝试一分钟图表；尝试60分钟图表，但你必须找到让自己感到舒适的地方，找到能赚钱的地方。然而，对我来说，你做什么并不重要。
Make money doing what you love
做你热爱的事情，赚钱
Two Legs Up? I talked to you about what I do. This is my personality. However, anybody who consistently makes money deserves a lot of admiration in anything. If you own a commercial cleaning business and you have guys emptying trash cans at night, if you do a really good job you deserve a lot of admiration. And if I had an office building, I’d want to hire you. You would make me happy. You would be making my life easier. So anybody who does anything well — synchronized swimming, one of the dumbest sports in the world — if somebody does it really well, I’m going to admire what they’re doing. It doesn’t matter. If anybody’s doing anything well, I’m going to admire it because it takes a lot of hard work to do something well, and if it makes you happy — and if you’re doing anything well, just about anything in life, people will pay you. There will be enough people out there, there will be enough demand for anything. So if you do anything well in life — run a restaurant, run a dry cleaner, a grocery store, a shoe repair shop — anything, it doesn’t matter — a website — if you do it well, people are going to pay you. You’re providing a service and you’re — to me, you’re a valuable member of society.
两个上涨腿？我跟你说过我做的事情，这是我的性格。然而，任何能够持续赚钱的人，无论在哪个领域，都值得很多尊敬。如果你拥有一家商业清洁公司，有人在晚上清空垃圾桶，如果你做得很好，你就值得很多尊敬。如果我有一栋办公楼，我会想雇佣你。你会让我开心。你会让我的生活更轻松。所以，任何人只要把任何事情做得很好——比如花样游泳，这是世界上最愚蠢的运动之一——如果有人做得很好，我都会钦佩他们所做的事情。这并不重要。如果任何人把任何事情做得很好，我都会钦佩它，因为把事情做好需要很多努力，如果这让你快乐——如果你把任何事情做好，几乎任何事情，生活中都会有人为你付钱。外面会有足够多的人，会有足够的需求来做任何事情。所以，如果你在生活中把任何事情做好——经营一家餐厅、干洗店、杂货店、鞋修店——任何事情，这都不重要——一个网站——如果你做得好，人们就会为你付钱。你在提供服务，在我看来，你是社会中一个有价值的成员。
Two Legs Up?
两个上涨腿？
So back to trading, if you use market profile, or bands, or any indicators or anything, and you’re consistently making money, and you’re happy, what else can you ask for from a career? That’s your goal. Find something that you like and have it be very profitable.
所以回到交易上，如果你使用市场剖面图、波段、任何指标或任何东西，并且你持续赚钱，并且你感到快乐，你还能从职业生涯中要求什么呢？这就是你的目标。找到你喜欢的事情，并让它非常盈利。
