Guiding Beliefs and Principles

Zazen Capital believes the path to success lies in confronting the most brutal facts about one’s current trading mistakes, weaknesses and unwanted results. And retains absolute faith that any trader or investor can overcome temporary difficulties to achieve and sustain profitable results. With persistence and determination there is no such thing as failure… only feedback. Expanding inherent and acquired trading skills, knowledge, experience, and good habits through a disciplined process of thoughtful practice will lead to consistent, sustained profitability. The components of success are discipline, flexibility, thoughtful practice, and risk management. Additionally, understanding one’s psychology is essential because all observations move through our emotional filters before meaning and relevance is assigned. A commitment to self-awareness and self-regulation is critical to success. Zazen Capital believes promoting financial freedom and self-reliance instead of collective mediocrity and dependence is a moral obligation. That is the motivation behind the free educational material shared on our various websites.

Essential Values

Awareness & clarity through expanding one's self awareness and trading knowledge is essential for trading success. The pursuit of continuous improvement, excellence, and mastery pave the way for developing one's inner intelligence and extrinsic common sense. An enthusiastic attitude and empowering mindset combined with persistence and unwavering determination are critical in providing the psychological resilience necessary to survive the plethora of routine trading challenges. Other often overlooked components of success are gratitude, appreciation, and humility. From these wisdom, compassion, and patience emerge. The innate habit of blame dissipates and a sense of responsibility and accountability for one's trading results grows. This, in turn, allows traders to specifically define effective corrective action and ultimately improve profitability.
