Guest Post: Raphaël Paquet on "Process, Process, Process"

The other day I wrote a blog post titled "How To Achieve Excellence In Anything, Including Trading, By Doing On One Simple Thing". The one simple thing was to "focus on process". I got such a good email response about the blog post that I asked Raphael if I could share it with blog readers. He graciously said yes and so here it is below:

Good day !

Thank you for sharing that interview. The word & concept of "process" reminded me of my very favorite
scene in the movie Moneyball. There's a specific 3-second part that really grabbed my attention, but
really the whole little scene is quite profound if you care to look beyond the surface.

You inspired me to let the keyboard loose a little bit here, hope you enjoy it.

Have a great sunday,
Raphaël Paquet

Here is the clip:


"Everyone wants to attack. Quit trying to attack. Let the game come to you, man. There's no clock on this thing."
Stop forcing trades, quit forcing, start planning. Then let the trades come into your plan. You never NEED to take any one trade NOW.

"I hate losing more than I even want to win. And there's a difference."
Losses are part of trading, so let's define LOSSES here as money lost outside your trading plan. Unplanned losses.
The trades you took that were outside your rules. The widened stops. The cancelled stops. The average downs.
A trader needs to hate those losses more than he desires to win, because wins are part of the process, as are planned losses.

"Don't try to be a hero. Let them make the mistakes (...) Take it, say thank you."
Don't succumb to the hero syndrome (which arises out of emotions). Let other market participants make the mistakes by
over-reacting to events, to volatility, or to lack thereof. When the market gives you a clear entry, take it, say thank you.

And, of course, the payoff, the 3-second gem :

"This is a process. It's a process. It's a process."
And it is. Over every candle, over every trade, over every day.

How To Achieve Excellence In Anything, Including Trading, By Doing One Simple Thing!

There really is one thing you can do to achieve excellence in anything, and it really is extremely simple.

Additionally, this one thing is something that you can begin to implement immediately, to improve any area of your life, whether it be trading/work/business, a relationship, personal health, etc.

This "trick" is so simple it can be narrowed down to just three words. Ready for them now?

Focus on process.

Huh?

Yep, focus on process.

Now I've written about "process based goals" before (see below) but what got me thinking about it again is the other night I watched a Matthew McConaughey interview on Piers Morgan. In the interview Piers asks Matthew what he attributed his recent successes to. The answer Matthew gave is exceptional (and frankly not what I was expecting which is why it made me sit up in my seat) — we can all benefit from hearing it.

I couldn't find the clip to embed but here are the links to the clip in succession. It is 90 seconds in total divided into 3 separate 30 second clips:
https://archive.org/details/CNNW_20140214_020000_Piers_Morgan_Live#start/2850/end/2880
https://archive.org/details/CNNW_20140214_020000_Piers_Morgan_Live#start/2880/end/2910
https://archive.org/details/CNNW_20140214_020000_Piers_Morgan_Live#start/2910/end/2940

Below is the transcript from CNN:

MORGAN: Coming up, the Oscar Nominee star and amazing star of "Dallas Buyers Club" Matthew McConaughey on the role that may just win him finally the coveted Best Actor.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

MORGAN: Matthew McConaughey is indisputably on a roll. Nominated for Best Actor for "Dallas Buyers Club", and also getting a little attention for his role in the "Wolf of Wall Street". I sat down with him at the nominee's luncheon to talk about life in the Oscar spotlight.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MORGAN: So, Matthew, the last time I spoke to you with a great interview and ended with you playing the bongos. I don't think even you in that moment could have ever imagine quite what has happened to your career in the last year. How do you feel about this extraordinary resurgence?

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY, BEST ACTOR NOMINEE FOR THE "DALLAS BUYERS CLUB": It doesn't feel surreal I mean it feels very real it's happening, and I understand what's happening, I'm aware of what's happening. But I've never really thought about, you know, this is the result.

Part of when I look back about all the reason I know of why I'm sitting here or why I've got a nomination is to really just put my head down and thought process, process, process, do the work and enjoying the experience so much that that was reward enough.

Now let's go to the next job, put your head down and do the work. Love the process, the more process of any of that become, the more results you seem to be getting.

MORGAN: So being here now is the frontrunner to win an Oscar for Best Actor. Is that the culmination of everything you've ever work for or do you believe in a way it maybe the start of something very special?

MCCONAUGHEY: I think it's a wonderful moment in my career that is in the middle of its approach. I don't feel, it doesn't feel like a destination, it doesn't. I mean very supremely honored just the gold standard in the industry I'm fortunate to work in. But I -- it doesn't feel like it's a resolution, you know, no I'm still on the approach, on the approach.

Transcript Link from CNN: http://cnn.ch/TRANSCRIPTS/1402/13/pmt.01.html

So if you want to achieve excellence in acting you don't focus on winning an academy award. You focus on owning your character, developing your craft, making a great film that touches people, etc.

To achieve excellence in trading we don't focus on how much we are going to make on each trade, on each day, week, month, etc. No, we focus on the process. We focus on stalking, executing, and managing the next trade well.

In short we focus on trading smart and trading well!

Want to achieve excellence in something? Focus on the process.

YM Contract Notes: 15950 TS # is LIS Friday. Note 16018 has been the lone HOS FTU for the last few session (and has so far missed by 4 ticks) so curious to see how we react there FTU.  Also note the big gap between Range Short / Range Long.

Friday's oil blast and the Sunday / Monday trade so far...

Oil Futures (CL) stopped this AM at 100.55 TS # for the current high of the day. We are now back at 100.05 - 99.92 TS # Zone (this was Friday's Extreme Short - see prior charts). IF we can lose 99.92 and hold under there is potential to test down into HOL FTD. Note that HOL FTD is below today's LOD and below today's Range Long (prior support).
