TIMES OF ADVERSITY CAN ALSO BE TIMES OF OPPORTUNITY

The typical reaction of new investors
not familiar with the year-in, year-out monthly fluctuations
that can test one’s patience throughout a good part of the year
is to expect a positive return every month,
and to lose patience after several consecutive negative months.
Yet the mastery of such impatience
is a key ingredient to long-term success in system trading.

Typically, sensitive and short-term-oriented clients
abandon one manager after another
and end up losing with all of them,
because each of them will sooner or later
experience several months of negative performance - at best –
or a one month crash at worst,
at which point, typically, the client moves to search for yet - - -
another manager.

The trick is to become insensitive rather than sensitive
to individual monthly fluctuations.
