Dichotomy of control deep

Epictetus Enchiridion

Epictetus (slave + philosopher 125 CE) "Enchiridion": "Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control: opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion. Things NOT in our control: body, property, reputation, command."

Trader application

Trader controls: setup analysis, discipline checklist, risk management %, position sizing, journal entry, education. Trader NIE kontroluje: market price, Fed decisions, broker spread, news surprises, economic data.

Focus shift

Beginner trader = obsess outcome (P&L exact). Stoic trader = focus process (controllable). Outcome follows process discipline. Marek mies 2 epiphany: "Stop checking P&L mid-day. Check process compliance instead."
