A surgeon turned trader learns that markets expose ego and overconfidence in ways surgery never did. The speaker argues that trading forces you to confront psychological weaknesses like fear and the inability to admit being wrong, which show up directly on your charts.
Especially if you're the type of person who's just like, really cocky and overly confident and just. Yeah, yeah. I've had a surgeon in the past that has transitioned into wanting to make trading a full time job. And, you know, from a surgeon's point of view, it's like, hey, I'm a surgeon. I'm a God. I saved you. I'm so smart. And, you know, you go into trading and it kind of humbles you, where it's like, no, you're not. The market is always right. And then you start dealing with your own inner demons of maybe you get too cocky, or maybe you have too much ego, or maybe you get fearful, or maybe you don't know how to take a loss, or you don't know how to be wrong. And these things show up on the charts, they show up on your piano.
