Quote from xianokie:

Trading mirrors your self esteem? More pabulum for the soul. I am sure there are a s-load of traders out there that don't like themselves and are excellent at their craft. And I am sure there are equally as many if not more traders that love themselves but suck at what they do.

This is just more malarkey for the mind. If you have a self esteem problem just repeat over and over each and every day "I am getting better and better everyday and in everyday." Do this till your account is bone dry and see if that helps with your self esteem . Or you could do this. Pick yourself up you your bootstraps, read, study, paper trade, plan, take action and keep repeating it till you find what works for you. But first and foremost take responsibility for yourself and your actions. Nothing builds self esteem like a big fatty trading account at the end of the day.

I like this explanation.
 
Quote from Max Profit:

If trading mirrors back to you your selfesteem, your selfworth, wouldn't it be of prime importance to consiously build self esteem outside of the trading arena. Perhaps as important as anything else in this business. And a definite nono to use trading to attempt to pursue self esteem or what you think would bring you self esteem.

I have read many times in eastern doctrines that skill at it's peak becomes spiritual. Can this spirituality be the sense of acceptance and calm that comes with the high self esteem and long experience of the "master" who have seen many battles and is still alive.

seems people with better self esteem have greater ability to admit they are wrong. low self esteem tends to generate rigidity as a byproduct of fear. one is a plus for trading, the other almost assures a blowup.

it seems to me that looking to the market as the source/basis of self esteem, would be a flawed strategy.

I could not agree more. The more insecure you are (and so less likely to admit you are wrong) the lower your selfesteem and vice versa. I met a few people in my life who were classical examples of what I just said. I think it is better to avoid people like that if you can. They can be pretty mean to enhance their lousy selfesteem.
