The More You Learn, The Harder Trading Gets?
📉 “The more you know, the harder trading gets.” — Dr. David Paul
In this eye-opening clip, Dr. David Paul shares a powerful lesson from his own journey: how gaining experience and knowledge in trading can actually make things harder — not easier.
He reveals a common yet rarely discussed pattern: beginner traders often perform better simply because they follow simple rules, without ego, without fear.
But once knowledge builds… ego builds. And that’s when the real mistakes begin.
👉 Learn why protecting your ego is more dangerous than taking a loss.

When I started to trade, really, in 1982,
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:08,600
I really didn't know that much. And I found
that things went exceptionally well. Now,
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:15,000
two or three years into the process, I find
myself starting to make mistakes. When I started,
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,200
I knew nothing. By 1984 or 1985, I know I was
a guru. I'd been on courses. I'd read books.
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,800
I now had something to protect. And I started to
make mistakes and not cutting losers quickly. I
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,640
started to make mistakes and not adding to
winners. So... and I've seen this so many,
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,240
many times over the years, where people
who start to trade do exceptionally well.
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,920
They know absolutely nothing. They follow
some fairly simple trend-following rules.
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,280
And they do well. Then all of a sudden,
they become experts. And now they've got
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,960
something to protect. Ego comes in. It
starts to build. It starts to build. It
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,600
starts to build. You've got to know that
— something to protect. And I find that,
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,560
unfortunately, the more you know,
at times, the more difficult it is.
