Algo Trader, Why Fear?

When twitteratis who are proven wrong on a daily basis,
keep passing their hunches as expert opinion, without fear,

Algo Trader,
Why Fear?

When the markets trump even the best of the best,
From time to time,

Algo Trader,
Why Fear?

When even the learned fund houses are beaten,
By a simple system following the Index,

Algo Trader,
Why Fear?

When the hordes are following the media,
heeding to every single buy/sell signals they hear,

Algo Trader,
Why Fear?

When the market gaps up,
When the market gaps down,
When the stoplosses get hit,
When your system is in drawdown,

Algo Trader,
Why Fear?

For the system,
Accounts for all the above.

When the regulations change,
When the social experts proclaim systems don’t work,
When doubts cross your mind,
When you think you need to tweak,

Algo Trader,
Without fear,
Remember,

There is no such thing as a perfect system,
There is no such thing as a perfect market,

Your success is determined,
Not by Your firefighting,
Your percentage of wins,
Your percentage of return,
Your search for an elusive hundred percent system.

Your success is determined,
Only by,
Your consistency,
Your time in the market,
Your faith in your research,
Your ability to remain calm,
In the midst of a storm.

Algo Trader,
Why Fear?

When you are a minority, When you an one percent,
When you are the Lion,
In a forest full of weaklings.

Algo Trader,
Why fear the waves,
When you are a rock,
At the bottom of the ocean?
