Hello Traders, I’ve been exploring an approach to sharpen our market game—applying BUDO, the samurai way of discipline and mindfulness, to trading. In my latest article, 'The Way of the Trader: Applying BUDO to Trading and Investing', (https://dailyoptionsedge.substack.com/p/the-way-of-the-trader-applying-budo) I break down principles such as zanshin (awareness), mushin (mental clarity), and kime (decisive action) and how they can boost focus and strategy. Curious to hear your take—how do you stay disciplined during wild market swings? Any mental tricks or frameworks you rely on? Best Regards, -VolatilitySamurai
This is an understandably a common western misinterpretation. If one did any actual, real, traditional, Budo arts, one would cringe at the article. It takes training, lots of training, and then a bunch more, and then some more, and then even more, and then you are just a beginner. All this training is not in how to achieve, e.g. Mushin. All the training is on how to do the basics, the fundamentals. These advanced things happen organically, after decades of practice and training and EXPEREINCE, in difficult, situations. Over and Over and Over. They are not things you decide to have the "attitude" and then they happen. You have to master the fundamentals so well, it is "burned deeply into your mind", and even under extreme conditions, such as a battlefield with screams, blood, arrows flying, charging horses, slashing swords, you never actually think about what to do. You just do it instinctively because you have done it 20,000 times in practice, and 20,000 time in live situations. If you want to apply some Budo principles start with this: Always do a good job, not just get the job done. IN ALL THINGS. Always look on how you can improve, time, effort, quality, resources used, elegance, beauty. Always work hard and reflect on what you did, why you did it and how you did it. Treat your body, mind, spirit, as a high performance machine. Keep it tuned, in shape and fuel it with high quality inputs. It is more about HOW you do things than what you do. FWIW: Do the above for 120 months, and then see where your Budo stands. That is a reasonable start and what I recommend to my Kyudo* club members. *Traditional Japanese Archery: New members train for about 1 year before they even shot an arrow. As a result, 90% drop out and 10% continue. Sound like a familiar ratio?
