Why do many trading experts eventually start studying Taoism, Buddhism, and philosophy?

Because they realize that the greatest enemy in trading is never the market, but themselves.
When they first enter the industry, they study indicators,
As they grow, they study techniques,
When they mature, they study cycles,
When they attain enlightenment, they study human nature.
Technology determines whether you can make money,
Cognition determines how much you can earn,
Mindset determines how much you can keep.
The market fluctuates every day,
And what truly causes accounts to blow up is often greed, fear, obsession, and delusions.
So many people, in the end,
Start learning the "Tao Te Ching,"
Begin reading Buddhist scriptures,
And start studying philosophy.
Not because of metaphysics,
But because they finally understand:
The end of trading is not to conquer the market,
But to conquer oneself.
Top traders in the end,
Compete not with financial knowledge,
Not with mathematical models,
But with a calm heart as still as water.
