Now I am going to put all this together to demonstrate how trading
distorts all these components in a way that allows someone to believe that
trading is easy. First, to function in the market environment requires very
little if any physical effort, especially for the off — the — floor trader.
Second, time is not a relevant factor because a trader can be stunned with
thousands of dollars in profits in a matter of moments. Conceivably, you
could put on a trade, never have the market go against your position, and be
rewarded at levels far beyond your expectations of what is possible. A
person can't help but make the association between the speed at which
something like this could happen and how easy it must be because there
was no physical effort required.
