The Pleasures of Not Being Spontaneous

There seem to be so many similarities between trading and fighting that it comes as no surprise that traders often resort to martial metaphors.

The greatest theoretician of war was the Chinese sage Sun Tzu; and none of his insights from his famous treatise "The Art of War" is better known than his saying that "every battle is won before it is fought".

Of course few traders have actually read Sun Tzu.  What Sun Tzu meant was that several conditions have to be in place before you engage the enemy: make sure that you choose the battleground; arrive before the enemy does; occupy the high ground; do not reveal the strength of your forces; have the right troops at your disposal; do everything to boost your army’s moral and undermine that of your enemy; and choose when and where to attack.

All conditions that have to be fulfilled before the battle has begun.
