GOLF and Trading/Investing

Golf is a game where the score depends the person in the mirror (yourself). It does not require any counter party to play. It is an individual game. This is no different when one goes into the financial markets. YOU DO NOT NEED A TEAM or PARTNER.

The score will depends on your mental, training, skill, the ground and equipment. Again this is no different from the financial markets where your performance depends on your appropriate applicable knowledge, back testing system, experience, mental/psychology readiness and your tools (charting).

The fairway ground can be flat, uphill or downhill, just like the trend can be flat, up or down. How one perform on the different terrain or trend will depends on one's mental and skills.

Whether the ground is wet or dry is like occasional rain and dry day.

I can draw the parallel similarities between this two.

Unlike most sports, where either one participate as a team or with a partner and in most cases many things are beyond our "navigation". But golf and trading/investing is a SOLO game where we can navigate our path accordingly. 

To be proficient one need to learn and understand the game, WHEN to "attack", HOW to attack, WHEN to retreat and HOW to retreat. Come with enough golf ball is no different from coming to the market with proper financial allocations.

At the end of each game, check your score and know where to improve if needed.

Enjoy the "GAME" and make less mistakes to improve your score.
