对话二
So, why exactly does your job have a reputation for being stressful?
那么,到底为什么你的工作以紧张出名呢?
Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you. Trading in financial markets combines both.
当人们束手无策或感觉被控制时,就会有压力感。金融市场上的交易正是这两者的结合。
How do you relax in the evening?
你晚上如何放松?
I very rarely do anything work-related so it's easy to escape the markets. I generally go to the gym or go for a run, especially if I've had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a take-away. To do something my brain would regard as creative.
我很少做与工作有关的事情,所以很容易逃离市场。我通常去健身房或是出去跑步。尤其是在我感觉某天很糟糕的时候,更是如此。我总是做饭,而不是叫外卖。做点儿有创意的事。

Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?

What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?

Having said all that, I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty. I enjoy a mental challenge. Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second. How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short, medium and long term trading performance and success.
说了这么多,我的确喜欢不确定因素。我喜欢挑战。交易会在瞬间产生一系列大范围的情绪波动。你如何处理及管理这些情绪支配着中短期及长期交易的业绩与成功。
