How Poker Has Given Me a Kick-Start in Trading. ♥️♠️♦️♣️
There are a two important things i learned through poker that are also very relevant when trading.
♦️ Psychology
♦️ Chance
Thread 👇
♦️ Intro
Before i even discovered the markets, i used to play quite a bit of poker. Just casually, never at a very high level.
I played around 1 million hands in my life which may seem like a lot, but it really isn't.
1 million hands is enough to get to a semi-high skill level but compared to the regulars and pro's this is nothing and i would never compare myself even close to those people.
♦️ Psychology
Just the way you have to handle both losses and wins while playing poker is very similar to trading.
When you go on tilt, because you've lost to a "bad beat" and start losing more because you are trying to win it back that is exactly the same as revenge trading.
The same can be said for being over-confident and trying to force crazy plays after you're on a hot streak. In trading we could see this as becoming greedy and not thinking rationally anymore. Which ends up with you making bad investments/trades.
The psychology goes a lot more in-depth than this but i will keep it to these basics for now.
It's all about thousands of hours of going through these emotions and handling them a bit better every time. The only way to learn this is through experience.
♦️ Chance Calculation, R:R & EV.
The technical part of trading is ALL about chance. If you would be able to figure out the EXACT chance a setup has of succeeding you would have the holy grail on your hands. Sadly, this is impossible so all we do is make our best educated guess.
In poker, you always try to determine the range of hands (cards) your opponent(s) could have. You compare this to your own hand and the information you have currently available to you, like the cards on the table or the opponent's betting behaviour.
Now, when the opponent bets a certain amount, you can calculate what that the chance is you think you have to win the hand vs. the amount of chips in the pot.
When making the right move, we call this +EV. Meaning the Expected Value of doing this move over and over is positive.
So if you make a decision that profits you 51% of times, it's just a numbers game from there on out.
You will lose a lot and win a lot, but in the end the quantity will work in your favor and earn you your profit.
Compare this to trading and it's all we do.
We mainly use the term Risk/Reward instead of Expected Value but it's basically the exact same.
If a setup has a 2 to 1 Risk Reward Ratio. That means that it has to work out 33,3% or 1/3th of the time for you to break even.
Meaning, if you think the setup with a 2 to 1 Risk Reward Ratio has a 50% chance of succeeding after doing your analysis, this will be a profitable or positive expected value trade in the long run.
You will win 50% and lose 50% but your wins will be twice as big as the losses.
This is how you should approach every trade you enter and this is why it is important to determine your entry, targets and stop-losses in advance.
Doing this enough will make it second nature and in time you won't even notice you're doing it anymore.
Don't forget to have fun!
