Here I am reproducing a note by Brett Steenbarger on trading
http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/05/trading-and-training-of-will.html
"Without freedom there is no trading. Trading is a celebration of economic and political freedom. Slaves are traded; they do not trade.
All this freedom, however, is for naught if we, ourselves, are not free. It is the deepest of ironies that we experience greater freedom--far broader potentials--than those who came before us. And yet, in our lives, in our abilities to master ourselves, we are no freer. Amid opportunity, we remain partial: tethered to our conditioning.
What it means to be free is to be able to choose, to live with intention. The free life is one that we guide: a life lived with purpose, direction, and meaning.
Trading, like all the great performance activities, is an opportunity to cultivate the intentional life. Pursued properly, it is a path to freedom."
