I love trading. Any time you take a trade, there’s at least some kind of a tingle going on. But I’m really peaceful all day long. I feel like I know every tick of the day what the market is doing, what the market’s trying to do. I don’t feel stressful, but I can tell you, 25 years ago, 15 years ago I used to just be so tied up in knots all day long, “Oh, I thought – it’s doing that. I thought it was going to do the opposite. It should have done the opposite. Oh, I took a trade, and I really need this trade to work. I lost three in a row. I can’t afford to keep losing like this.” I used to get really connected to the market emotionally as if my feelings could make the market do what I wanted it to do. Over time I just began to trust what’s going on. I feel really, really peaceful when I’m trading and very, very comfortable.
我热爱交易。每次你进行交易时，至少都会有一种兴奋感。但我整天都非常平静。我觉得我知道市场每天的每一刻都在做什么，市场在试图做什么。我不觉得有压力，但我可以告诉你，25年前，15年前，我整天都紧张得像打了结一样，“哦，我以为——它正在这样做。我以为它会做相反的事情。它本应该做相反的事情。哦，我做了交易，我真的需要这次交易成功。我连续亏了三次。我不能再这样继续亏损了。”我过去在情感上与市场紧密相连，仿佛我的感受能让市场按照我的意愿行事。随着时间的推移，我开始信任正在发生的事情。当我交易时，我感到非常平静，非常舒适。
I feel like I know what the market’s doing at all times, and I feel like I’m always thinking it can go up, it can go down; I’m always thinking in terms of probability; I’m always thinking in terms of how far they’ll go. But it took a long time to get this way. I’m a very uptight, intense person. I don’t like that about me, but that’s who I am. I’m 63 years old; I’m not going to change, I just accept it. However, when I’m trading, for whatever reason, somewhere along the line I just became really peaceful, so if I see some crazy move, I say, “Oh, look – look at that it hasn’t done that in a couple of months.” I just don’t get upset about anything. It’s really good. It makes trading a lot more fun.
我觉得我随时都知道市场在做什么，我觉得我总是认为它可以上涨，也可以下跌；我总是从概率的角度思考；我总是考虑它们会走多远。但达到这种状态花了很长时间。我是一个非常紧张、激烈的人。我不喜欢我身上的这一点，但这就是我。我63岁了，我不会改变，我只是接受它。然而，当我交易时，无论出于什么原因，在某个时候我变得非常平静，所以如果我看到一些疯狂的走势，我会说：“哦，看——看看它几个月来都没有这样做了。”我对任何事情都不会感到烦躁。这真的很好。这让交易变得更有趣。
I just remember how stressed out I used to get, how upset I used to be, and how I used to feel like if I could generate enough feelings I could make the market do something, but, I’ve come to accept the reality. I’m competing against the French government, the Chinese government, JPMorgan. They have thousands of times more capital to trade than I have, so I can put my entire net worth on a trade and I might move the market a tick. I am really insignificant and therefore I can generate all the feelings that I want, it’s not going to change things.
我只记得我过去有多么紧张，我过去有多么烦躁，以及我过去如何觉得如果我能产生足够的情绪，我就能让市场做点什么，但我已经接受了现实。我正在与法国政府、中国政府、摩根大通竞争。他们拥有的交易资本比我多几千倍，所以我可以把我的全部净资产投入到一笔交易中，我可能只会让市场波动一刻。我真的很微不足道，因此我可以产生我想要的任何情绪，但这不会改变任何事情。
And the other thing is – just come to accept 10 percent of the day, the market looks like this, a breakout. But 90 percent of the day, the market looks like this, and during that 10 percent of the day if you’re going to trade, you can always short. During this 90 percent of the day, you can short or buy at any time and make money if you manage your trade correctly. You can sell the 12 low and look what happened – 33 came right back down to that level. 68 eventually got down to that level. So you can sell when the market is going up; you can buy when the market’s going down. It doesn’t matter. You can buy when it’s going up; you can buy when it’s going down. It doesn’t matter. What does matter is management. So 90 percent of the day, I just come to accept that the market is going to pretty much go sideways, and if you manage your trades correctly, even if you do something dumb, you still can get out break even if you’re really careful about what you’re doing and if you don’t do something dumb.
还有一个情况是——你要接受这样的事实：一天中有10%的时间，市场会出现这样的突破走势。但90%的时间里，市场看起来是这样的，在这10%的时间里如果你要交易，你可以一直做空。而在这90%的时间里，你可以在任何时候做空或做多，只要你正确地管理交易，就能赚钱。你可以在12号K线的低点卖出，看看发生了什么——33号K线又回落到了那个水平。68号K线最终也跌到了那个水平。所以，你可以在市场上涨时卖出，也可以在市场下跌时买入。这没关系。你可以在上涨时买入，也可以在下跌时买入。这没关系。真正重要的是管理。所以，我接受这样的事实：90%的时间里，市场基本会横向波动，如果你正确地管理交易，即使你做了一些愚蠢的事情，只要你对自己的行为非常小心，不做愚蠢的事情，你仍然可以保本出局。
It’s easy to do something dumb. I’ve done millions of dumb things over my trading career. But in general you just trust that the market is going to make sense and it’s not going to do crazy things. And they make it sound on television as if the market’s doing crazy things. It’s not doing crazy things, it’s just doing logical things; it’s just constantly probing support and resistance. Sometimes it goes higher or lower than what you thought it was going to do, but it’s simply probing support and resistance. The sell-off on the open today – I did not think was going to sell off that much, but it did. It reversed almost all of it later in the day.
做愚蠢的事情很容易。在我的交易生涯中，我做了无数愚蠢的事情。但总的来说，你只要相信市场会保持理性，不会做疯狂的事情就行了。电视上把市场描述得好像在做疯狂的事情一样，但实际上并非如此，市场只是在做逻辑性的事情，只是在不断测试支撑和阻力。有时市场走势会高于或低于你预期的水平，但它只是在测试支撑和阻力。今天的开盘抛售——我没想到会抛售那么多，但它确实发生了。市场在当天晚些时候几乎完全反转了。
I hope that makes sense. However stressed you feel, I was at least that stressed 20 years ago, 25 years ago, 28 years ago, whatever. I don’t remember the last time I felt stress trading, but it went away. And now I’m really peaceful. I look forward to the market opening every day and I love being here.
我希望这有道理。无论你感到多么压力，我在20年前、25年前、28年前，无论何时，都至少有同样的压力。我不记得上次感到交易压力是什么时候了，但这种压力已经消失了。现在我很平静。我每天都期待市场开盘，我喜欢在这里。
