Why is it important to consider probability in trading? How does taking probability into account help you gain an edge in trading?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most traders don\u2019t use information from their market analyses in a sensible way. The reason for that is that they don\u2019t understand probabilities. A knowledge of probabilities is essential to overcome the mental barriers that prevent us from achieving consistent trading success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how the nuances of probability affect trading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. The Shallowness of Similarities Between Market Trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Market activity is based on probabilities, which means that every outcome is unique and random, totally disconnected from every other outcome. As we\u2019ve already mentioned, patterns do emerge; however, you can\u2019t rely on those patterns to predict outcomes with 100% certainty. As Douglas says, this year\u2019s market activity might <\/strong>appear<\/em><\/strong> identical to previous years\u2019 activity, but the similarity doesn\u2019t run any deeper than that.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, says Douglas, this year\u2019s activity stands on its own, distinct from everything prior. <\/strong>Why? Because the combination of traders who generated previous patterns are not the same combination of traders who will generate the next pattern. You\u2019d also have no way to account for a multitude of other variables, including the number of traders planning to enter the market, whether those new entrants will buy or sell, how many shares they\u2019ll want to buy or sell, and whether the traders who are currently involved are planning to exit. Therefore, Douglas asserts, it\u2019s impossible to account for every possible variable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Douglas focuses on the potential for individual<\/em> traders to alter a pattern. However, this isn\u2019t necessarily the full picture\u2014other forces can drastically alter price patterns. For example, an act of terrorism can radically affect stock prices<\/a>. After the 9\/11 terrorist attack in New York, prices plunged more than 11%<\/a> then rebounded quickly within a month. Other influential forces include inflation, a rise in energy costs, a change in economic policy, and company mergers<\/a>.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we can never <\/em>know for sure<\/em> what\u2019s going to happen next, Douglas says, we often delude ourselves into thinking we can manipulate odds that are out of our control<\/strong>. Imagine this scenario: The price of one stock shows a consistent pattern of rising sharply mid-year after a short springtime slump. You observe this pattern and buy shares of that stock in late spring, anticipating big profits later in the year. But this year, the stock price actually continues to drop throughout the remainder of the year, contrary to your expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you incur losses like this, Douglas says, you might set out to acquire more and better information, thinking this will put you in a better position to profit in future trades. Or, in an alternative scenario where the stock price does<\/em> rise as expected and you reap huge rewards, you might become overconfident and reckless in future trades, thinking you\u2019re on a \u201cwinning streak.\u201d Both of these tendencies reveal a misunderstanding of the role of probability in trading. Market activity is random<\/em>\u2014it\u2019s not subject to manipulation, and it doesn\u2019t play favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Why We Struggle to Understand Probabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a reason we have a hard time grasping probabilities. As Douglas explains, our brains aren\u2019t wired to think in terms of probabilities and random outcomes<\/strong>. Rather, we\u2019re programmed to base our decisions on what we\u2019ve experienced in the past, specifically driving us to seek pleasure and avoid pain. For example, if you burn your hand by touching a hot stove, you (hopefully) avoid repeating that same behavior in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that pain-avoidance\/pleasure-seeking programming doesn\u2019t serve your interests<\/a> when it comes to trading<\/strong>. According to Douglas, more knowledge won\u2019t improve your chances of avoiding the pain of losing, and one wildly profitable trade today doesn\u2019t guarantee you\u2019ll experience the pleasure of winning tomorrow. Remember, probabilities dictate that market outcomes are random, which means they are utterly immune from your efforts and desires to avoid painful losses and experience pleasurable wins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How We Can Use Probabilities to Our Advantage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Douglas asserts that being a consistently successful trader is simply a matter of conducting a sufficient volume of trades<\/strong>, as your odds of winning improve over a large number of trades (assuming you have a sound strategy). Here\u2019s how this works: Each trade has an edge<\/em>, which is simply a sign that a price is more likely to move in one direction. Through your market analysis, you can identify a favorable edge, an approach that you think will bring you success and profits. There\u2019s never a guarantee that this edge will turn out to be profitable\u2014as we\u2019ve seen, the randomness of the market means that things can go wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you\u2019ve indeed picked a favorable edge based on market patterns, you can guarantee that you\u2019ll see success consistently over a large period of time<\/em>. You might not win every<\/em> time due to the unpredictability of the market, but you’ll win a lot of the time if you stick with it for long enough (and if you have, in fact, picked a profitable edge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Douglas, this is similar to casino operations: even if the house occasionally loses, they know that over time, they’ll eventually win consistently enough to make a profit. This confidence isn\u2019t based on hope, luck, or pure staying power. Rather, casinos impose rules on gamblers that give casinos a roughly 4.5% edge over players. Knowing this, casinos don\u2019t panic each time an individual gambler wins big; they simply keep welcoming players to the games, knowing that the more games people play, the higher the casinos\u2019 profits will be in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
