拉里.威廉斯因为两件事情而出名: 第一他是交易大赛的冠军, 他还有更好的战绩, 曾一年将1万美元做到了100万美元, 这件事是得到验证的, 整个过程是公开的. 第二, 他写了那本名著《短线交易秘诀》。
他的儿子是一位心理医生,2012年出版一本书《Mental Edge in Trading》,我正在看。
书中写道,他的父亲告诉他:
In fact, when discussing this with Dad in detail, I find that he has even convinced himself that the only way to make decent money in the markets is to hitch a ride on the giant swings in the market. He believes that trying to catch multiple medium-sized trades is not going to be profitable in the long term. His rationale is that there are bound to be huge losses along the way, and the only way to make up for them is to have some really huge gains. So he is always on the lookout for the major moves in markets.
这等于再说,拉里威廉斯认为短线是无法盈利的,想要赚钱必须抓住市场的"major moves",
是不是很有意思呢。
