Enneagram Type 9
Enneagram Type 9 Trader: The Peacemaker
Strengths to lean on and blind spots to review for the Peacemaker, whether you trade stocks, futures or options.
A Type 9 trader, the Peacemaker, tends to be receptive, aware and able to let things go. The blind spot is not speaking up to avoid making waves, which for a trader can mean not enforcing your own rules. A structured review keeps your plan from fading into the background.
A Type 9 is motivated by peace of mind and harmony, and tends to fear conflict and tension. These are tendencies, not rules. Your own trades are what show whether they apply to you.
How a Type 9 tends to trade under pressure
Under pressure, a Type 9 tends to stay calm on the surface and avoid tension.
That composure helps after a loss. It becomes a blind spot when avoiding the conflict of cutting a loser, or avoiding the review, lets problems sit.
Strengths to lean on
- Calm: you tend to stay level through a volatile session.
- Receptiveness: you take in several views before deciding.
- Letting go: a bad trade does not have to follow you home.
- Awareness: you notice what is going on around you.
Blind spots to review
- Not speaking up: letting your own rules slide to avoid friction.
- Avoiding the journal and the review when they bring up bad news.
- Holding a loser to avoid the discomfort of closing it.
- Going along with the group instead of your own view.
Journaling and review habits that fit
- Keep the journal routine small and fixed, such as one scored trade a day, so it is easy to start.
- Write your stop down before entry, and use the "moved stop" penalty in Journal scoring when you did not honor it.
- Watch the scoring streak tracker, which shows your last 7 days, to spot days you skipped the review.
- Pick one of the Daily Recap's top actions for tomorrow and act on it.
