faith has made me a better trader in ways that might not be immediately obvious it helps me recognize my limitations and keeps me humble and grounded, which are incredibly important traits for a trader faith also shapes my value system it reminds me that there are things far more important than money as a result, i know there are lines i will not cross, regardless of how much money is on the other side and perhaps most importantly, faith helps preserve my sanity it reminds me that money is ephemeral so i'm not easily fazed by swings in my portfolio or the value of my assets that emotional detachment allows me to think more clearly and ultimately, make better trading decisions
