Manajemen Emosi - Emotions In Motion

Emotions In Motion by Janice Dorn, M.D., Ph.D.

Oct 24, 2011Volume 28 Issue 8

You have to be able to control yourself. You can't let emotions get in the way of your thoughts and actions... Warren Buffett
One of the most difficult aspects of trading is emotional management. For many months, we have struggled through market and economies that are news-driven, volatile, and filled with uncertainty. For many, it’s been a real emotional roller coaster.  . To say "don't get emotional" is pointless because everyone has emotions around money.
What can you do about your emotions as they apply to trading and investing? Of all the books and papers I have read or written on trading psychology, there is one aspect that stands out most clearly to me. This is the condition of living in the past.  I believe that this is one of the most significant obstacles to trading success.
Why?  Because the brain remembers. The brain imprints loss or gain in a “memory” area called the temporal lobe, and generates fear or greed as a result of it. The larger the loss or the gain, the greater the neuronal imprint becomes. Losses are imprinted as fear and gains are imprinted as greed. Both are equally destructive to further success with trading.
The real culprit is memory. It is the memory of losses or gains that stay with the unsuccessful trader, causing continual mental sabotage and inability to move forward.
The best traders forget about a loss the minute they take it and move on. They are confident in their system and their ability to execute it. It is not about the money for these people. It is about finding a system that will bring them more profits than losses. The best traders know how to take losses and not become depressed, angry, jealous, disgusted or defeated. They know how to take gains without gloating, boasting, or becoming euphoric. They see only the trade they are about to enter---not the trade that just ended or the one that might be coming in the future.  All past trades are out of sight and out of mind. All future trades are an illusion.

This is a really difficult thing to do, but it must be done in order to move forward.  If you are unable to detach from the past and the future, you will continue to be a victim of fear and greed.
Fear doesn't form in a vacuum. It is a learned response to a particular event or probability. In the case of trading, when you have a trade that goes bad, the regret and frustration can carry over into the next trade. Often, the fear is so consuming, that you don't enter your next trade. Of course, Murphy's Law dictates that the trade you don't enter is the one you should have entered, which only compounds the existing emotional anguish.
Greed creates the opposite problem. With a couple of consecutive winning trades, the ego enlarges and invincible feelings overcome logic. This will ultimately lead you to trades that you normally would not have entered. Finding good trades is hard enough, while finding poor trades seems to get much easier after a couple of winners. Emotions cause 'perceptual distortion' where we only see the part of the picture that our beliefs allow us to see.
The instruction is to know who you are in this present moment.  You are the problem and you are the solution.  Living in the past or the future does nothing but stir up emotions that impact adversely your trading and other aspects of your life. It is said that fear blinds one to opportunity and greed blinds one to danger.  Make every effort to be fully present and you may be surprised at the outcome.  It’s the best way to defeat the enemy within you. 
The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness…Abraham Maslow
Thanks and Good Trading!

Jika Entry Exit too Early

Entry Exit sebuah trade itu erat kaitannya dengan Trading Plan... nah kalau mau lihat, ada contoh Trading Plan lengkap dari mas Markus, sekitar Agustus 2010 saya pernah post, ini link nya ke file milis:
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/junior_Trader/message/61086

Diskusi waktu itu juga belum tuntas... semoga ada pembaca (mungkin mahasiswa/i yg sedang studi pasar modal) yang berkenan membuat semacam trading plan template yang bisa dipakai atau dimodifikasi oleh usernya.

Kembali ke topik... mungkin semua pernah mengalami entry atau exit kecepetan, sehingga ada opportunity profit yang lepas dan disesali. Masih mending kalau trade nya tersebut ndak rugi, sehingga tidak semakin larut dalam penyesalan.

Sebagai trader/investor seharusnya kita bisa meresapi dan meyakini bahwa tidak ada orang dengan tools apapun yang bisa dengan pasti mengetahui apa yang akan terjadi dengan pergerakan harga... even 1 menit ke depan... kalau sekedar mereka-reka atau prediksi saja sih bisa lah.

Nah... kalau sudah bisa meresapi maknanya, maka akan terasa mudah dan semakin ikhlas dengan apa yang pasar berikan... kata ahlinya: "take what the market gives you"... ya jangan berharap banyak dan stick to your plan, karena biasanya yang sudah didapat bisa lenyap seketika. Contoh bagus, lihat chart Nikkei (N225) ketika terjadi gempa, tsunami dan ledakan reaktor nuklirnya... gain sekitar 2tahun bisa lenyap hanya dalam +/-5 hari kalau tidak patuh Trading Plan nya !!!

Salah satu kuncinya supaya tidak Entry Exit Kecepetan adalah DISIPLIN... DISIPLIN membuat rencana dan DISIPLIN eksekusinya... sepertinya mudah, tapi saya pribadi masih tergopoh-gopoh dalam prakteknya... wkwkwkwk.

Ada satu mimpi "GILA" saya yang mungkin bisa dan tidak bisa diwujudkan : ... membuat Trading Plan sekaligus Trading dengan Chart yang no Cut Loss level, no TrailStop, No Target, No Emotion, No Fear, No Greed, dan No No lain... tapi IN OUT dengan cara "just follow the price color that made by a set of rules"... yang intinya "dance with the price movements"... CRAZY kan ?!!! Anyway ini just a dream... hehehe... jangan diseriusi.

Sebagai penutup... kita harus dan wajib selalu ingat bahwa berapapun untung atau rugi yang kita dapat, maka itu adalah hasil/rezeki yang diberikan Allah subhana wata'ala yang harus kita syukuri. Karena kita tidak pernah tahu apakah akan bahagia dunia akhirat jika untungnya besar... demikian sebaliknya, kita tidak pernah tahu apakah akan menderita dunia akhirat jika ruginya besar. Apapun kondisinya, selalu ingat dan hanya bergantung dan berharap kepada Allah subhana wata'ala... aamiin...

Psikologi Trading: SABAR = UNTUNG

Menarik sekali artikel ini (meskipun banyak gak ngertinya... hahaha...)... tapi itulah "penyakit" trader... seperti: You just might be suffering from tick-itis ( watching every tick) and devi-itis ( deviating from your trading plan)

PATIENCE = PROFITS by Janice Dorn, M.D., Ph.D.

The money's made in the sitting and the waiting, not the trading…
Jesse Livermore (Reminiscences Of A Stock Operator)

In our live Trading Doctor webinar this week (Finding High Reward/Risk Setups Using Technical Analysis) we showed many charts to illustrate the value of patience in waiting for a trade to exhale. Exhaling means that it is resting, consolidating or digesting a move. Some people call this Slow Trading. Some call it Boring Trading. We call it WAITING for the right trade at the right time with the best reward/risk.

We may watch for weeks or months for a good swing trade. We absolutely do indulge ourselves a little in our live trading room where we do call intraday scalps if the setups are there. A little thrill here and there is great fun-- but we don’t live for thrills. We are not hyperactive traders who always have to be doing something. We are not afflicted with the global epidemic of Trader Attention Deficit Disorder.

Call us picky or boring--- but we don’t like trading for the sake of trading. Jesse Livermore got it right 85 years ago. Be patient. Don’t react to every tick and wait for the right time and price. Then execute ruthlessly. For us, patience equals profits.

We are a global culture of dopamine-fueled trader rat brains always looking for the next fix, the next best thing, the hottest stock pick, the big money trade. Scampering from site to site or room to room, looking for the guru du jour, bombarded with breaking news and transfixed by financial infotainment. This is not our style. Many of you are hypertexting, hypercommunicating, hyperliving and hypertrading. And you wonder why you’re tired all the time and can’t think clearly or focus properly?

One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life…Chinese Proverb

You all have access to trading platforms, tools or systems that give instant access to the financial markets. The Pavlovian bell rings to open the casino Monday through Friday (and on Sunday for futures traders), and your mouse finger is itchy. You just might be suffering from tick-itis ( watching every tick) and devi-itis ( deviating from your trading plan) if you have any of the following thoughts:

No time to wait for setups. It looks like it might work, so I am going to get in now.


No time to wait for this to play out, I have a small profit and it might turn around and go against me, so I am going to get out now.


My position went against me, and it looks bad so even though it did not break support and the downage was on light volume, I better get out now.


The markets are running away without me. I have to find something so I can get in now. Just about anything should work and the most important issue that I don't miss out on this great move, so I am going to just buy something now.


This setup looks good and I just made some cash on the last two trades and am feeling pretty good, so it's OK for me to deviate from my system, and get in now.


I lost a lot on the last two trades, and am feeling pretty lousy about the losses so I need to get into something and maybe double up now to try to get it back now.


I don't have time to wait for setups since I can only trade a couple of hours in the morning before I go to work, so I have to do something now.


I am leaving this lousy service because I want to be trading all day. The markets are here now and I want and need to be in and out of stuff all day so that I can make bank now.


I am feeling so bored right now and just need to put on a trade in order to do something.


This litany of stinking thinking shows the inability to contemplate, move at a considered pace, and wait patiently for good reward/risk opportunities. At its foundation, impatience is a subset of fear and greed and is among the most common reason traders lose money and blow up their accounts.

The journey to trading mastery is a marathon, not a sprint. It is time to slow down, breathe deeply and correctly, become a distant observer of yourself, and take a good look at what you are doing to dopamine your life and mess up your trading.

Peaceful warriors have the patience to wait until the mud settles and the water clears. They remain unmoving until the right time, so the right action arises by itself. They do not seek fulfillment, but wait with open arms to welcome all things... Dan Millman

Psikologi Trader : Beberapa Penyakit Trader yang harus dihindari (Part 2)

Lanjutin ya... ini bahan kritik dan renungan pribadi, siapa tau ada yang juga membutuhkannya.

Another penyakit trader:

they couldn't get out of a losing trade... sebenarnya bukan gak bisa, tapi ndak mau... kenapa ndak mau ? karena masih kurang DISIPLIN... kenapa susah disiplin ? karena tidak punya trading/strategy plan yang baik dan solid... kenapa demikian ? karena belajarnya sekedarnya, asal tau istilah sudah merasa cukup dan tidak mau mendalaminya... alias masih perlu belajar lebih giat lagi.
 
Most popular tips:


Trade well and follow the trend, not the so-called "analysts/experts."   ... have you ? independensi dan PeDe pada TA sendiri adalah wajib, jika tidak anda akan menjadi "korban" rumors dan opini yang bekembang di pasar... kalau kita lihat para analis dan ekspertis saat ini saling berbeda pendapat... ada yang bullish-sideways-bearish... ada apa gerangan ?
 
If you can't control the market, the only thing you can control is yourself.... pasar memang memberi kebebasan sebebas-bebasnya - buy or sell or hold or diam - tapi bukan berarti anda bisa mengontrolnya ... pasar kadang jinak2 merpati, tapi kadang liar dan buas kayak macan ... maka kontrollah diri anda apapun kelakuan pasar, sehingga anda lebih mengerti dan mudah menghadapinya. ... 

In trading you can't control what the market does. No matter how much you want the market to go in a certain direction, there is nothing you can do to force that to happen... nothing will make the market do what you want it to.

Successful traders all understand and embrace (adopt) this concept. Unsuccessful traders continue to try to make the market conform to their wishes.

Jadilah Trader Spesialis.

Be a Specialist. The highest paid and most successful professionals in any field are Specialists. For example, doctors who specialize make far more money than a general practitioner. Traders who specialize also make far greater returns than those who dabble and experiment with every new gimmick and strategy. Choose an area of stock trading and become exceptional in that area. ...

Beberapa Penyakit Trader yang harus dihindari

Kadang "penyakit" trader ini disadari, tapi masih dilanggar... yang lebih parah kalau ada trader yang tidak tau dia terkena "penyakit" ini... gimana mau ngobati ya ?


Kutipan:
People tend to fall in love with their trades, believing that if they wait just a little longer, it will come around. This causes procrastination and delay, giving the stock another chance... and then yet another. In the meantime, the losses mount! 

Terjemahan bebasnya:
Orang-orang cenderung jatuh cinta dengan posisi / trading mereka, percaya bahwa jika mereka menunggu sedikit lebih lama, maka akan berhasil. Hal ini menyebabkan penundaan dan penundaan, dengan selalu memberikan kesempatan lain dan berharap harga sahamnya naik ... kebiasaan ini diulangi lagi dan lagi. Padahal secara keseluruhan kerugiannya semakin menumpuk !!!


Semoga kita berhasil membebaskan diri dari penyakit dan kebiasaan buruk ini.

Nasehat Money Management Yang Bagus

Meskipun 1/2 ngerti... sepertinya ini nasehat MM yang bagus...

==========================

Want Positive Results....Think Negative!
by Greatstockpix

You've heard of the power of positive thinking. The glass is half full. I'm all about optimism when it comes to life. When it comes to trading, however, you must think negative. Expect the worst!

Let me explain. When you see a possible trade setting up, you need to monitor your thoughts. Are you thinking about how much you are going to make on this trade? You shouldn't be. Your only thought should be how much can I lose if my stop gets hit. Is the stop .20 cents away. If so, how many shares should I buy so that if my stop gets hit my loss will still be within my personal tolerance (which should never be more than 1% of your trading capital).

Many traders only think about how much they can make and therefore give no thought to position size. That can lead to a very dangerous situation. Let's take a ficticious trader named 'Serena' for example. If she is only focused on the upside of a trade, she might buy 5k shares because she is expecting at least a .30 cent move in her favor and $1500 profit sounds great to her. Sound familiar? It's easy for her to buy that many shares if she only expects a 'win'.

But what happens if the trade immediately turns against this 'optimistic' trader? Usually, the deer in the headlights look and an inability to react. If you have ever done this, you already know how damaging this can be....not only to your account balance, but perhaps more importantly to your mental state. Just one out of control trade can take you out of the game permanently. Have you ever damaged your account so bad that it takes you months or years to earn back enough money to trade again?

I know many people that fall into this category, myself included. I suppose I could look back on those days with regret, but I can't. I wholeheartedly recognize that without that pain early in my trading career, I wouldn't be the trader I am today. My first thought on every entry is the possible downside....EVERY TRADE. If I get a move in my direction, I pay myself quickly on part of the trade and get to a breakeven stop on the rest as quick as I can. This still gives my trade a chance for the 'accidental homerun' on the back 1/2. You will have very few losing trades if you do this, and the losses you do have will be small. So, if you want a positive trading experience, think negative!

Psikologi : Rahasia dan Kejujuran Dalam Trading / Investing

Secrets and Lies
by Janice Dorn, M.D., Ph.D.

The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present…Aparna

Last week, 700 residents of a small, affluent mountain community were stunned to learn that at least 70 million dollars they had entrusted to a pillar of their community was gone. The man who seemed to have it all—a sprawling mansion, the fanciest cars, the trophy girlfriend and the most reputable business in the state--- declared personal and company bankruptcy.

The town is reeling from this, TV cameras are going house to house and many say they were “completely wiped out and don’t know what to do or where to go.” They have fallen apart and are going to pieces.

Sparing you the details, the essence of this story is that there were too many secrets lies and false promises. The more secrets you have, the sicker you are. This applies to all aspects of personal and business life. The more secrets you keep about who you really are what you are doing with your money (the last great taboo of our culture), the sicker you are.

This is nowhere more true than in trading. If you do not get right with yourself and those who believe you and believe in you, you are in sickness and stinking thinking. The most important way to begin falling apart without going to pieces is to tell the truth. If you are hiding your losses from a loved one—step up and tell that person. Don’t pretend you are a winner when you are losing. Don’t allow your pride to get in the way because pride (especially if built on a false and crumbling foundation) leads to misery, falling apart and, for some, going to pieces.

What happens when you go to pieces? Addictions, acting out behavior, depression, continued lying to self and others, and all manner of mental, physical and spiritual DIS-ease. It is only through telling the truth and being radically honest and taking personal responsibility that you find true freedom.

This is exactly what happens every day in life and in the markets. There is so much hype (es: sensational promotion), deception, misinformation and disinformation. You search desperately because you want to find the truth. But most of it is not the truth. The truth is often intolerable to bear. Denial, rationalization and the search for confirmation of your biases are much easier. No one wants to fail, but failure is a part of life. Failure is a part of trading and investing. Losing in the markets and life is often the beginning of winning. It’s OK to fall apart without falling to pieces. It’s necessary to get stopped out, to preserve capital, to embrace risk and take total personal responsibility for your thoughts and actions. Winners fall apart, but they quickly regroup. They don’t crumble and hide in the corner or lie to others about how great they are.

It’s freeing to admit that we are human beings, that we are fallible and we make mistakes. It’s OK to make mistakes. It’s not OK to lie about them and pretend they don’t exist. In time, the truth will be revealed but at this moment, hundreds of suffering people have lost trust. Trust is a commodity in very short supply today, yet it is the bedrock of any relationship. People will not trust you if you lie to them. You will never learn to trust yourself if you continue to lie to yourself. It’s a vicious cycle of denial and obfuscation that leads to self-destructive behavior and further self-sabotage.

There are many lessons for trading and living in this story. Here are a few ways to keep from going to pieces when it all falls apart:

· Always tell the truth to yourself and those you love and who love you.

· Trust, but validate and verify everything.

· Don’t trust anyone but yourself when it comes to your money.

· If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

· Don’t assume anyone has your back. Take full and total responsibility for your actions and don’t sit around waiting for someone to bring you flowers or make money for you

· Just because something has worked in the past, don’t assume it will keep working. Linear thinking is complacent (es: self-satisfied) thinking and leads to a false sense of security and comfort.

· Don’t get greedy. Remember, bulls and bears make money—pigs (es: person with poor hygiene and low standards of tidiness) get slaughtered (es: get killed).

· Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify whenever possible.

· Everything you thought and dreamed for your future can be gone in the blink of an eye.

· Hope is not a viable strategy for trading or investing in anything.

· Stay really strong in body, mind and spirit because you never know when the tsunami is going to hit.

· Prepare for the worst and expect the best. Have a backup plan. Have three backup plans.

· When it all falls apart, you can and will survive if you don’t fall to pieces.

If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time…Abraham Lincoln

The most powerful trading system out there is useless in the hands of a trader who chooses not to follow the rules!


“Time and time again, those whom I interviewed for this book and its predecessor stressed the absolutely critical role of psychological elements in trading success!” Jack Schwager

“The market wizards never talked about indicators or techniques, but rather about such things as discipline, emotional control, patience and mental attitude toward losing.” Jack Schwager

The message is clear:  The Key to winning in the market is internal, NOT external.”

Most beginner traders have that need to be in the market. I like to tell traders, being on the sidelines is a position. 

THE KEY OF SUCCESS dalam trading/investing ada dalam diri sendiri. Salah satunya adalah bersyukur atas nikmat keuntungan dan kerugian... karena kita tidak pernah tau maksud Allah subhana wa ta'ala di balik semua itu... bersyukur lisan dan amal perbuatan.

Ekspresikan Trading Mu - Mental / Emosi

Trading and Your Mental / Emotional State by Trader Ed

Question:

Everyone talks about that important factor in trading called psychology, but what and how exactly does it helps in trading? And if it is that important how does one improve the same?

Pranaw from Mental WA.

Answer:

Pranaw, you have hit the mother load with your question, but allow me to refine it just a bit before I answer it. Instead of “psychology,” use the phrase “mental / emotional state.”

The reason everyone talks about how important the mental / emotional state is to trading is because, well, it is incredibly important to successful trading. In fact, many, such as Mark Douglas, argue that how you behave in this state is actually more important for success than what the markets do. I agree. You see, my early trading days looked somewhat like a top wobbling at the very end of its spin. Yes, I understood the mechanics of trading, but I knew nothing of how to manage my emotions, nor did I have the confidence that comes from having a plan. Mark Douglas’ book, Trading in the Zone, changed everything for me. Once I understood that the markets are the markets, meaning they do what they do without reference to you or anyone else for that matter, and that success depends on how one responds to the impersonal (es: neutral) market flow, that wobbling (es: move unsteadily) top straightened up and began spinning faster.

Simply, your mental state is about how you approach the market intellectually. Do you have a plan? Does that plan include entry and exit points. Does it include money/risk management? Does it include research to understand your trading markets? Do you understand the big economic picture? Do you know how to find the information that will give you an edge?

Your emotional state is about how you “feel” when you both win and lose. Winning can produce hubris (too much pride), which as the ancient Greeks understood can bring on disaster, If you trade as if you cannot lose, you will lose repeatedly in your attempt to prove it. When you lose (and you will), if you come back at the market angry or with the idea you will get “even,” you won’t. You will only make mistakes. The best traders understand the impersonal nature of the markets, thus they understand successful trading is not about the markets; it is about you and your mental / emotional state when trading.

I can’t tell you how to improve your mental / emotional state, as I don’t know you. I can, however, tell you generally that having a detailed trading strategy that is adaptable and eliminating as much emotion as you can from your trading will go a long way to making you a better trader.

=============================

Kemuliaan Qana’ah

16 November 2009

Oleh Ummu ‘Athiyah

Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala telah menciptakan kematian dan kehidupan ini, untuk menguji siapa diantara hambanya yang terbaik amalnya, hal ini telah Allah sebutkan dalam kitabnya yang agung dalam surat Al Mulk ayat 2:

الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ َوالْحَيَوةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أيُّكُمْ أحْسَنُ عَمَلاً وَهُوَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْغَفُوْرُ

“Yang menjadikan mati dan hidup, supaya Dia menguji kamu, siapa di antara kamu yang lebih baik amalnya. Dan Dia Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Pengampun.”

Adapun makna ayat ini, sebagaimana yang telah dijelaskan oleh Al Hafidz Ibnu Katsier dalam tafsirnya bahwa “Allah telah menciptakan seluruh makhluk ini dari ketiadaan, untuk menguji jin dan manusia, siapakah diantara mereka yang paling baik amalnya.” Kalau demikian apakah kita akan terlena dengan gemerlapnya kehidupan dunia dan lupa memperbaiki amal-amal kita?

Dalam Minhajul Qashidin, Ibnu Qudamah membawakan sebuah hadits yang terdapat dalam Shahih Muslim dan yang lainnya, riwayat Al-Miswar bin Syaddad tentang perumpamaan dunia dan akhirat. Dalam hadits ini, Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam bersabda:

مَا الدُّنْيَا فِيْ اْلاَخِرَةِ إلاَّ كَمِثْْلِ مَا يَجْعَلُ أحَدُكُمْ إصْبَعَهُ فِيْ الْيَمِّ، فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَ تَرْجِعُ

“Dunia ini dibanding akhirat tiada lain hanyalah seperti jika seseorang diantara kalian mencelupkan jarinya ke lautan, maka hendaklah dia melihat air yang menempel di jarinya setelah dia menariknya kembali.” (Diriwayatkan Muslim, At-Tirmidzi, Ibnu Majah)

Peringatan tentang hakekat dunia juga disebutkan oleh Abul-Ala’, dia berkata: “Aku pernah bermimpi melihat seorang wanita tua renta yang badannya ditempeli dengan berbagai macam perhiasan. Sementara orang-orang berkerumun di sekelilingnya dalam keadaan terpesona, memandang ke arahnya, Aku bertanya, “Siapa engkau ini?” Wanita tua itu menjawab, “Apakah engkau tidak mengenalku?” “Tidak,” jawabku “Aku adalah dunia,” jawabnya. “Aku berlindung kepada Allah dari kejahatanmu,” kataku. Dia berkata, “Kalau memang engkau ingin terlindung dari kejahatanku, maka bencilah dirham (uang).”

Sesungguhnya Allah telah menjadikan bumi ini sebagai tempat tinggal bagi kita selaku hamba Allah. Dan apa yang ada diatas bumi ini seperti pakaian, makanan, minuman, pernikahan dan lain-lain merupakan santapan bagi kendaraan badan kita yang sedang berjalan kepada Allah. Barangsiapa di antara manusia yang memanfaatkan semua itu menurut kemaslahatannya dan sesuai dengan yang diperintahkan Allah maka itu adalah perbuatan yang terpuji. Dan barangsiapa yang memanfaatkannya melebihi apa yang dia butuhkan karena tuntutan kerakusan dan ketamakan maka dia pantas untuk dicela.

Wahai hamba Allah, setelah kita mengetahui hakekat dunia dan bagaimana seharusnya kita bersikap dengan dunia ini, akankah kita tetap akan mengumpulkan harta sebanyak-banyaknya dan kita jadikan harta tersebut sebagai tujuan hidup kita???

Suri tauladan kita Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam telah mengajarkan kepada kita bagaimana kita harus bersikap terhadap harta, yaitu menyikapi harta dengan sikap qana’ah (kepuasan dan kerelaan). Sikap qana’ah ini seharusnya dimiliki oleh orang yang kaya maupuan orang yang miskin adapun wujud qana’ah yaitu merasa cukup dengan pemberian Allah, tidak tamak terhadap apa yang dimiliki manusia, tidak iri melihat apa yang ada di tangan orang lain dan tidak rakus mencari harta benda dengan menghalalkan semua cara, sehingga dengan semua itu akan melahirkan rasa puas dengan apa yang sekedar dibutuhkan. Tentang sikap qana’ah, Ibnu Qudamah dalam Minhajul Qashidin menyampaikan hadits dalam Shahih Muslim dan yang lainnya, dari Amr bin Al-Ash Radhiyallahu ‘Anhu, Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam bersabda:

قَدْ أفْلَحَ مَنْ أسْلَمَ وَرُزِقُ كَفَا فًا، وَ قَنَّعَهُ اللهُ بِمَا آتَاهُ

“Beruntunglah orang yang memasrahkan diri, dilimpahi rizki yang sekedar mencukupi dan diberi kepuasan oleh Allah terhadap apa yang diberikan kepadanya.” (Diriwayatkan Muslim, At-Tirmidzi, Ahmad dan Al-Baghawy)

Ketahuilah wahai saudara/i ku sesungguhnya di dalam qana’ah itu ada kemuliaan dan ketentraman hati karena sudah merasa tercukupi, ada kesabaran dalam menghadapi hal-hal yang syubhat dan yang melebihi kebutuhan pokoknya, yang semua itu akan mendatangkan pahala di akhirat. Dan sesungguhnya dalam kerakusan dan ketamakan itu ada kehinaan dan kesusahan karena dia tidak pernah merasa puas dan cukup terhadap pemberian Allah.

Perbuatan qana’ah yang dapat kita lakukan misalnya puas terhadap makanan yang ada, meskipun sedikit laku pauknya, dan cukup dengan beberapa lembar pakaian untuk menutup aurat kita. Maka hendaklah dalam masalah keduniaan kita melihat orang yang di bawah kita, dan dalam masalah kehidupan akhirat kita melihat orang yang di atas kita. Hal ini sebagaimana telah ditegaskan Rasulullah dalam hadits yang artinya: “Lihatlah orang yang dibawah kalian dan janganlah melihat orang di atas kalian, karena yang demikian itu lebih layak bagi kalian untuk tidak memandang hina nikmat Allah yang dilimpahkan kepada kalian.” (Diriwayatkan Muslim dan At-Tirmidzy)

Sikap qana’ah ini hendaklah kita lakukan dalam setiap kondisi, baik ketika kita kehilangan harta maupun ketika mendapatkan harta. Barangsiapa yang mendapatkan harta maka haruslah diikuti dengan sikap murah hati, dermawan, menafkahkan kepada orang lain dan berbuat kebajikan. Marilah kita tengok kedermawanan dan kemurahan hati Rasulullah: Telah diriwayatkan dalam hadits shahih dari Nabi Shallallahu ‘Alaihi wa Sallam, bahwa beliau adalah orang yang lebih cepat untuk berbuat baik daripada angin yang berhembus. Selagi beliau diminta sesuatu, maka sekali pun tidak pernah beliau menjawab. “Tidak” Suatu ketika ada seseorang meminta kepada beliau. Maka beliau memberinya sekumpulan domba yang digembala di antara dua bukit. Lalu orang itu menemui kaumnya dan berkata kepada mereka: “Wahai semua kaumku, masuklah Islam! Karena Muhammad memberikan hadiah tanpa merasa takut miskin.”

Subhanallah sungguh indah pahala yang Allah janjikan terhadap hambaNya yang memiliki sikap qana’ah, marilah kita senantiasa memohon kepada Allah agar kita di anugrahi sikap qana’ah dan dijauhkan dari sikap kikir dan bakhil.

اَللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَ الْحَزَنِ،وَ الْعَجْزِ وَ الْكَسَلِ،وَالْبُخْلِ وَ الْجُبْنِ،وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَ غَلبَةِالرِّجَالِ

“Ya Allah, aku berlindung kepada-Mu dari (bahaya) rasa gundah gulana dan kesedihan, (rasa) lemah dan malas, (rasa) bakhil dan penakut, lilitan hutang dan penguasaan orang lain.”

اللّهمّ قنّعني بما رزقتني و با رك لي فيه ، و ا خلف على كلّ غا ئبة لي بخير

“Ya Allah, jadikanlah aku merasa qona’ah (merasa cukup, puas, rela) terhadap apa yang telah engkau rizkikan kepadaku, dan berikanlah berkah kepadaku di dalamnya, dan jadikanlah bagiku semua yang hilang dariku dengan lebih baik.”

Psikologi : KISS

Keeping It Simple
by Janice Dorn, M.D., Ph.D.

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak… Hans Hoffman

The 14th Century Franciscan monk William of Occam formulated a concept that provides the basis for many present day scientific theory and models. This concept, know as Occam's razor, states that, given any competing sets of solutions for a problem, the explanation must be made in terms of what is already known. That does not necessarily imply that it will be the most simple explanation (although it often is!), but it will help you focus and alleviate anxieties and endless frustrations trying to figure out what you don’t know. Focus on what you do know, and use this knowledge to carry to further into study so that you become an expert in whatever you are trading.  The more you know about one particular stock, future, commodity or currency-- the more quickly you will come to creative mastery.  The more you will be able to simplify.

The founders of Alcoholics Anonymous called this the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) solution.  This principle can be applied to nearly every facet of life and trading, and is positively correlated with experience. The more you know about any subject, the quicker you will be able to find elegant and simple solutions

Your brain is out to get you. Your brain is complex with multiple reverberating circuits and connections that drive you to think yourself into or out of any situation. Your brain lies to you night and day in the most convincing and deceptive ways imaginable. If you are finding yourself challenged, confused or messed up in your trading or in your personal life it is for one reason: Your best thinking got you there.

Those who are the most confused in the markets right now are those who are reading newsletter after newsletter, site after site, pundit after pundit trying to find a reason for "WHY" things are happening. Everyone has something to say, to write, to postulate or theorize about such situations as "Why are the markets rallying when the economy is so bad?   Who is buying into this rally?   When is it going to end?  Why are the shorts I put on at $SPX 950 still tanking?  Where is the correction?   What is going to happen?" Well, since you don't know, you look everywhere until I find an answer that you like.  Usually this is an answer that agrees with your beliefs—a simple expression of what is called “confirmation bias.”    How can you know what you don't know when you don't know what you don't know?   Why do you continue to look outside of yourself to other people for answers that they don’t have but are delighted to sell them to you—often for outrageous prices and promises.  Caveat Emptor.

I listened to a radio program this morning where people were calling in and quoting this or that “guru” about where the dollar and gold were going. Markets are made because people have different opinions.  This is how it should be.  If everyone thought the same way, believed the same things—there would be no markets.  For example—in the futures markets (basically a zero sum game—but not quite)—for every buyer there is a seller.  This means that you are trading your beliefs against the beliefs of those who disagree with you.  You know that your beliefs are correct if your position is making money. 

What is correct?   Who is correct?   The answer is simple.  The markets are correct.  IF you are underwater in your positions and in the hold and hope mode, you are not listening to the markets.

Why are you tormenting yourself trying to "figure it out" when the answer is simple?  Remember that the greatest secrets are always in plain view. It is happening because it is happening. All of the mental and intellectual tricks (neurotic defenses, thinking biases) that you play on yourself are for the purpose of easing anxiety over a situation that you do not understand.  Often, the more you search for answers, the more anxious you become. You are the problem and you are the solution. It is just that simple. Stop trying to figure it out. Accept that it is happening and act according. Learn to respond, rather than react. If price is going up, it is going up and that is that. Go with it and continue with it until it stops going up. If price is going down, go with it until it stops going down.

Most of you have read the Top Ten Trading Traps (www.thetradingdoctor.com). Please take time to read them again, as I have gone into details about why you win and why you lose.  Meanwhile, let’s get Occam with it and remember these simple statements.  The easiest way to gain discipline is to reduce everything to its most simple parts.  Dissect, declutter, and get simpler.  Please stop trying to turn a game of probabilities into rocket science. 

What might Occam say to you about trading?

·         There is way too much noise.  Turn down the noise in your mind and on your charts.

·         Trust yourself to see what is in front of you.  Markets do not lie; people do.

·         Do not be fooled by highly intellectual explanations for why things are or are not happening.  Listen to the voice of the markets.

·         Wisdom in trading is manifest through simplicity.  The more complex you try to make this, the greater the probability that you will lose

·         The market speaks in probabilities.  Do not try to change this language by making it one of certainty. 

·         If what you are doing is working, keep doing more of it.  If it is not working, get out and go back to basics.

·         Find an edge and keep sharpening it.  Disciplined traders win.  Emotional traders lose.  In the battle between discipline and emotion, the disciplined massacre and plunder money from the emotional.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication…  Leonardo da Vinci

Are You a Rabbit or a Turtle?

Are You a Rabbit or a Turtle?
by Janice Dorn, M.D., Ph.D.

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves… Dale Carnegie

Once upon a time there was a rabbit named Reckless who was always boasting about how fast he could run. He criticized all the other animals (especially the smaller ones)—saying that were slower and lazier and could never beat him. He was really rough on this one particular turtle (let’s call him Tenacious) and bullied him constantly. Reckless said ugly, nasty words to Tenacious who just sat there day after day and appeared to let the words roll off his shell.

But enough was enough.

Finally, Tenacious got really fed up with this. He stuck his head out of his shell, looked up at Reckless and said “Who do you think you are anyway? Why are you always bragging about how you are “all that” and so fast that nobody can beat you? I am sick and tired of hearing his abuse from you. “

Reckless smirked, looked down at Tenacious and squealed with laughter. “Nobody can beat me. Especially you—since you are slower than molasses. If you want to race, bring it on because you don’t have a chance. I will win, no matter how hard you try. “

“It’s on” said Tenacious, “we’ll race tomorrow at the crack of dawn. The next day came and Reckless and Tenacious showed up ready to go. The race course was all laid out and they both stood on the starting line. Reckless was cocky and confident as he watched Tenacious move slowly along the path. Reckless had been up most of the night partying with the other rabbits, so he was sleep-deprived and decided to take a nap.

Reckless woke from a fitful sleep and gazed round, looking for Tenacious. Slowly and steady moving forward, Tenacious was about a third of the way to the finish line. Breathing a sigh of relief, Reckless decided he was hungry and had lots of time to eat. The heavy meal and the hot sun made his eyelids droop. With a quick glance at Tenacious-- now halfway along the course-- he decided to take another quick nap before running past the turtle to beat him to the finish line.

The nap turned into a longer sleep and when Reckless woke up, the sun was beginning to set. Reckless jumped up in alarm and saw that Tenacious was now almost at the finish line. Reckless bolted as fast as he could, gasping for breath, leaping high into the air, giving it everything he had. Too bad. Too late. Tenacious beat Reckless.

This is my rendition of one of the stories from Aesop’s Fables and the moral is: Slow and steady does it all the time.

Many traders come to the markets with the idea of making huge profits by doing very little or getting rich quickly. They are like the Reckless rabbit who thinks he can win with the least amount of work possible. What they don’t understand is consistent winning in the markets has to do with slow and steady gains. The real secret of winning is to get rich slowly. This is done by striking out (taking stops and small losses), hitting some singles and doubles (taking profits larger profits on a regular basis) and occasionally hitting home runs.

So- what are a few of the many trading lessons from Reckless and Tenacious?

(1) Overconfidence is a badge of ignorance. Unless you approach the markets with humility, you are doomed to failure. You might knock out a few good trades, and then get even more confident. You are an accident waiting to happen.
(2) Self-confidence is great, but it must be tempered with continual self-analysis and vigilance.
(3) While you are sitting back resting on your laurels and bragging to yourself and others about your wins, another trader is out at the gym doing pushups and strength training. He/she is preparing to do battle with you. Stay strong and alert!
(4) You and you alone are responsible for your successes and your losses.
(5) Learning to trade properly is a marathon, not a sprint.
(6) Never underestimate the value of patience.
(7) Take your setups and use them to maximal advantage.
(8) Chasing price is almost always a recipe for disaster and losing.

With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable

The Four Poisons of the Mind

Pelajaran Psikologi dari bela diri Kum Do oleh Janice Dorn

There is a Korean martial art called Kum Do. This is a brutal game that involves a fight to the death with very sharp swords. The way it is practiced today is with bamboo sticks, but the moves are the same. Kum Do teaches the student warriors to avoid what are called “The Four Poisons of the Mind.” These are: fear, confusion, hesitation and surprise. In Kum Do, the student must be constantly on guard to never anticipate the next move of the opponent. Likewise, the student must never allow his natural tendencies for prediction to get the better of him. Having a preconceived bias of what the markets or the opponents will do can lead to momentary confusion and—in the case of Kum Do—to death. A single blow in Kum Do can be lethal, and is the final cut, since the object is to kill the opponent. One blow—>death—>game over.

Instead of predicting, anticipating, and being in fear and confusion, you must do exactly the opposite if you are to survive a death blow from the market movements. You must watch with a calm, clear and collected attitude and strike at the right time. A few seconds of anticipation, hesitation or confusion can mean the difference between life and death in Kum Do—and wins or losses in the stock markets. If you are not in tune with the four poisons of fear, confusion, hesitation or surprise in the markets, you are at risk for ruin. Ruin means that your money is gone and the game is over.

How can you avoid the four poisons of the trading mind: fear, confusion, hesitation and surprise?

  1. Replace fear with faith (ES: religious belief) —faith in your trading model and trading plan
  2. Replace confusion (ES: Disorder resulting from a failure to behave predictably) with the attitude of being comfortable with uncertainty
  3. Replace hesitation (ES: Indecision in speech or action / unwillingness) with decisive action (ES: Determining or having the power to determine an outcome / firmness)
  4. Replace surprise (ES: A sudden unexpected event) with taking nothing for granted and preparing yourself for anything.

Always remember the long and winding road to the top of the mountain in the dark of night. Success in trading is a long journey with many twists and turns. You can and will get there if you are patient, watchful, non-anticipatory and always on guard for the exact moment when you can strike. Trading is a game of survival and the spoils are money. It’s your money, your life and your future. You have the power to survive and flourish if you remember the lessons from Able and Kum Do.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat… Sun Tzu 

Thanks and Good Trading!

Masalah DISIPLIN

Maaf kalau tidak berkenan... sekedar mengemukakan pendapat... silahkan kalau mau ditanggapi...

===================

Saya tertarik mengomentari mengenai lampu lalin yg ditabrak... saya juga dulu berbuat begitu... tapi dgn berjalannya waktu, pengalaman hidup semakin bertambah juga... kita semua paham bahwa selain lampu pengatur lalin, fungsi lainnya juga keselamatan... bayangkan kalau semua pengendara tdk mematuhi...

Saya melihatnya sebagai masalah DISIPLIN berlalin... kalau kita disiplin kans selamat di jalan raya lebih besar... dan kayaknya sama dengan DISIPLIN dalam trading/investing... cuma beda akibat.

Dan menurut saya (pendapat pribadi lo)... bahwa manusia tidak DISIPLIN karena dia belum tau siapa dia, untuk apa dia ada... dan mau kemana... sampai sekarang (bahkan sampai ajal) saya masih dan terus berproses melatih diri untuk DISIPLIN yang terkadang naik terkadang turun...

Mudah-mudahan ada manfaatnya... bahwa petunjuk yang saya dapat, manusia akan sulit DISIPLIN dan lebih dominan FEAR dan GREED nya jika ia tidak melatih patuh bahkan melupakan nilai2 / ajaran agama dengan baik dan benar... termasuk di jalan raya dan trading/investing...

Maaf kalau salah... dan mohon dikoreksi...

Van K. Tharp mengatakan.....

"Trading and investing are very simple processes and we human beings try to make it into something much more complex. Unfortunately, we have a lot of biases that enter into trading decisions.

"I believe people get exactly what they want out of the markets and most people are afraid of success or failure. As a result, they tend to resist change and continue to follow their natural biases and lose in the markets. When you get rid of the fear, you tend to get rid of the biases.

"As for risk, most people don't understand it, including a lot of professionals, and what's really interesting is that once you understand risk and portfolio management, you can design a trading system with almost any level of performance." �Van K. Tharp

Psikologi Trading

Catatan Psikologi Trading ini diterjemahkan (ala kadarnya) dari berbagai buku dan artikel tentang psikologi trading dan diambil point-pointnya aja... jadi sedikit compang-camping. Sebenarnya banyak aspek psikologi trading yang belum tercatat di sini. Tapi kalau nunggu selesai... rasanya gak akan selesai... jadi inilah adanya... semoga teman-teman bisa menambahkan aspek yang belum ada di catatan ini.


Supaya teratur dan bisa menjadi pegangan... bisa dimulai dari nomor 21 dst...

  1. Alasan utama trader perlu memahami psikologi trading, krn umumnya atau banyak trader tidak dapat mengontrol emosi dan konsinten bertindak sesuai keinginan.
  2. Senantiasa merubah/melihat krisis sebagai peluang.
  3. Buat tujuan spesifik yang dapat dicapai dalam harian, mingguan dan bulanan, dan capailah. Tujuan tersebut harus realistis, dapat diukur dan dapat dicapai. Mulailah dari yang kecil baru beranjak ke besar dan semakin besar.
  4. Yakin bahwa anda dapat ‘melihat’ anda adalah trader sukses (baca Psycho-Cybernetics) yang dapat mencapai tujuan tsb.
  5. Jangan biarkan pasar mengambil untung yang sudah di depan mata
  6. Jadilah manusia yang bertanggungjawab atas segala keputusan trading anda, jangan salahkan orang karena pasar selalu benar
  7. Temukan kemampuan dan bereaksilah sesuai kemampuan anda
  8. Tinggalkan trading yang mungkin salah dan selalulah trading yang mungkin menang saja
  9. Pasar tidak dapat dikontrol sesuai keinginan tapi keinginan anda bisa dikontrol
  10. Selalu buat evaluasi atas benar/salah dalam trading Anda
  11. BERTINDAKLAH SESUAI MINAT TERBAIK ANDA, dengan ini Anda akan berhasil, tanpa ini Anda akan gagal.
  12. Mungkin usaha ini paling bebas di dunia. Anda dapat melakukan apa saja. Trading dapat dilakukan kapan dan dimana saja selama pasar buka
  13. Rubahlah lingkungan Anda menjadi lebih baik
  14. SATU HAL YANG DAPAT MEMBUAT KITA SUKSES ADALAH JIKA KITA DAPAT MENGONTROL DIRI, hal yang mudah diucapkan tapi sulit dilaksanakan. Kebanyakan trader lebih keras fokus ke TA atau mekanikal system.
  15. Saat ini ada trader yang disiplin tapi memiliki system yang kurang bagus, tapi ia akan sukses. Sebaliknya, ada trader yang memiliki system yang bagus tapi tidak disiplin.
  16. Berat memang, tapi Anda harus belajar dari kerugian dan mengambil manfaat darinya. Semakin cepat Anda menyadari bahwa kerugian adalah bagian dari trading, semakin cepat Anda mendapati trading yang menguntungkan. Biasakanlah diri dengan kerugian.
  17. Segera keluar pasar jika persepsi Anda mengatakan Rugi
  18. Berhati-hatilah terhadap alam bawah sadar Anda. Untung Rugi bisa berlalu dengan cepat.
  19. Dalam suatu trading Anda harus mau merubah pandangan/minds secara cepat dan mudah, tetaplah fleksibel supaya Anda sukses
  20. Kenalilah diri Anda, karena ia dapat mempengaruhi seluruh perilaku Anda.
  21. ...... dst



Hati-hati dalam memilih saham, selalu recek dengan chart Anda, pilih yang cocok saja dan jangan lupa MM dipasang di Trading Plan serta Be Discipline.

Semoga bermanfaat.
