“All through time, people have
basically acted and reacted the
same way in the market as a
result of: greed, fear, ignorance,
and hope. That is why the
numerical formations and
patterns recur on a constant
basis.”
~ Jesse Livermore, How To Trade
In Stocks, 1927
MarketPsych partnered
with Thomson Reuters

Step 1: Managing Emotion
Ground in the present
Reappraise the situation
Observe your thoughts
Understand the emotion
-----------------------Step 2: Thought and Action
Noodle on it: Analyze
Do Something: Take Action
22. REAPPRAISE THE SITUATION:
HOW TRULY SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF TIME, URGENCY, AND IMPACT?
IS THIS AN EXPECTED PART OF YOUR JOB AS A RISK TAKER? (PROBABLY YES)
23. OBSERVE YOUR THOUGHTS:
OBSERVING WITH CURIOSITY, WITHOUT JUDGMENT, LET GO OF SELF
JUDGMENTS AND CRITICISMS.
UNDERSTAND WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE THIS.
27. STEP 1: MARKETPSYCH PEARLS
You can’t reason yourself out of a
position you didn’t reason yourself into.
All emotions linger until they are
actively grounded (good) or discharged
(bad).
To (re)build discipline, take baby steps:
commit and deliver.

Hinweis der Redaktion
This is the system that gets us involved in taking risk, excessively, and helps us to feel good about it. When danger lurks, the warning signs that the prefrontal cortex sees often don’t mesh with this system, and so this deeper limbic system wins out. It tends to deactivate the loss avoidance system as it becomes more active.
