Mastering Your Mindset in Trading and Life: The Power of "Preferred Indifferents"
There’s a fundamental truth about success — whether in trading, business, or life — that most people never fully grasp.
It’s the ability to detach from outcomes while staying fully committed to the process.
The Stoics had a concept for this: “Preferred Indifferents.”
Let me explain.
Ward Farnsworth, in The Practicing Stoic, describes it like this:
“What is the difference between a preferred indifferent and the desires that Stoics regard as hazardous? Detachment. An attachment to an external causes one’s happiness, and equilibrium, to depend on it. The Stoic tries to avoid that position under all circumstances.”
In other words, while we might prefer to have wealth, success, and smooth sailing, we don’t need them to operate at our best.
Our happiness and success aren’t tied to any single outcome — they’re tied to our actions.
This mindset is essential in trading.
We don’t chase trades.
We don’t force things.
We follow a proven system with clear signals — and if there’s no setup, we don’t trade.
The goal isn’t to trade for the sake of trading; it’s to trade profitably.

Here’s the takeaway:
The next time you feel impatient, frustrated, or tempted to chase a quick win, remember the Stoic principle of “Preferred Indifferents.”
Focus on your actions, not just the outcome.
That’s how real success is built — in trading and in life.
