Automated Trading and Happiness
Can Automated Trading really create happiness? Can money make us happy?
Sorry to say it, but I think the answer to both is no. Yes, Automated Trading can help us do better in life, and make it possible to achieve financial freedom sooner. And, I don’t know if more money will really make anyone happier.
Blasphemy? Definitely for the gambling industry. And maybe even for the investing industry, it seems. But it’s true. More money will not make people happier. Most lottery winners are poorer 5 years after they get their big win. And more miserable as well. Don’t believe me? Read about the lottery and the guy who won the biggest jackpot in history.
Because more money will not make us anything different than what we are now. If we are not happy now, more money will not make us more happy. It only makes us more of what we already are. If we are dissatisfied with our life, more money will make us more dissatisfied. If we are drinking too much now, more money will only help us drink more.
So how will Automated Trading help us?
We believe that Automated Trading is a tool that will allow us to not just to have more money, but to pursue the ultimate meaning of our lives. Automated Trading is a tool that can provide financial freedom, and make going to work unnecessary. But with that freedom comes a certain responsibility.
If you didn’t have to go to work each day, what would you do? Many people would just watch TV and eat Doritos. There is nothing wrong with that, but it will not create a life of meaning. With financial freedom comes the responsibility to choose a purpose in life and find ways to improve our own lives or the world.
It is through the fulfillment of that life purpose that we can increase our happiness. It is through the improvement of ourselves and the world that we can become happier. It is only with enlightened action that we can make ourselves happier.

is one of my favorite financial books of all time. It's an allegory about a guy who has a terrible job, and how he overcomes challenges to achieve his dreams.
