A harsh and hostile environment. Every
trader tries to take money from everyone
else. Everyone is trying to make money at
everyone else?s expense. It is a uniquely
harsh environment, everyone is against
you and you are against everyone else.
One analyst compares it to a medieval
battle - a man used to go to the battleeld
and hill his adversary while his opponent
tried to do the same to him. The winner
took the loser?s weapons, his chattels and
sold his wife and children into slavery.
Today traders to battle on the Exchanges
instead of on the eld. When you take
money away from a trader, it is not that
different from drawing blood, he may
los his home, his chattels, and his wife
and children may also suffer. Is this
description a bit exaggerated? Perhaps;
however, there is no denying how hostile
the trading environment feels when you
trade in it, to stand alone can be, and is,
uncomfortable.
