Hier ein interessantes Video von TED Talk zum Thema Wirtschaft und Psychologie:

The secret to winning big in the market is not to be right all the time but to lose the least amount of money possible when you are wrong. As long as you win larger than you lose, you will be a profitable trader at the end of each year. Pride, ego and stubbornness prevents a trader from reaching the levels that very few can master. To become a profitable trader, you must: 1. Manage Risk: Learn to trade a manageable portion of you portfolio (I recommend to risk less than 2% of you overall portfolio equity on each trade). Always establish a risk/reward ratio before making a trade. Without the ratio, how do you know your risk? 2. Understand Position Sizing: All traders must learn to know “how much” to trade on each position. Do not overtrade or you will runt he risk of ruin. Position sizing is rule number one of managing risk. 3. Cut Losses: Do not allow losses to run wild. You must learn to cut losses and understand that losses are a part of the game, a large part of the game. Check you ego of winning at the door. We are here to make money, not go undefeated. Play sports if you want to keep score with a record rather than your bankroll. 4. Learn when to Sell: You must learn when to sell. Selling is more important than buying as it ties directly to risk management. Use stops if you haven’t yet developed the discipline to get out at your predetermined stop or profit goal. 5. Average up in Price: I will never hesitate to add shares in a stock that is moving higher (see Mastercard) but I always avoid averaging down. Remember, cut losses and never throw good money after bad because we know that’s a quick way to the poorhouse. 6. Have Patience: It takes years to master trading as an advanced skill; even then, you are never done learning or adapting. 7. Buy 52-week Highs, not 52-Week Lows: Don’t be afraid to buy stocks making new highs. The garbage sits at the bottom of the market along with poor earnings, weakness and further downward pressure. Buy strength and the momentum moving higher. Stocks are typically priced at the levels they trade for good reason. This applies to most premium items in life. 8. Ignore the Talking Heads: Do not listen to the stories, gossip and rumors flying around on network television, stock forums or the major financial newspapers. It a surefire route to bad information and clueless advice. Do your own research; you’ll come out much further ahead. This applies to crappy blogs and internet sites as well. 9. Understand Technical Analysis: Fundamental analysis is a solid part of my trading system but technical analysis brings in the dough. You must learn, understand and use technical analysis on a daily basis. Fundamental analysis tells me what and technical analysis tells me when, where and how. 10. Control Emotions: Enough said – You must control your emotions or the game is over! Understand you! via chrisperruna.com

Not that there is anything wrong with the peasant trading method of marking up charts with targets and stop losses, but if that's all there is to trading, I'd rather open a small bakery or work as an airline pilot. Or maybe make artisan cheese with milk from my own organic cows. Extracting money from markets is fun, exciting at times and generally satisfying for what it is, but the drudgery of hearing over and over about keeping your losers small, letting winners run, managing your risk with stops ... ugh. You plan on doing this for how long again? No, for me there is just not enough there there to keep it stimulating. But once you start talking about algorithms and trading bots, now you've got my attention. Imagine a world where your little (or not so little) army of algorithmic robots are marching across the trading landscape and pillaging profits from semi-proficient chartists. Hmm, now that sounds like fun.
