When trading, is the response "I don't see how we can make this work" a final answer?

When trading with an AI civilization, I often use the "What would make this deal work" button as an easy way to see what the AI would like in exchange for a resource I want.

When the answer is "I don't see how we can make this work", is this a final answer or can I make it work in some way?

Best Answer

Sometimes, you can make it work.

The AI will respond "I don't see how we can make this work", if it believes that a fair deal cannot be made. If the reason for this is that he values his trade offering more than anything you have, then you cannot change it.

However, if you are offering something more valuable than everything the AI owns, like a major city, he may say "I don't see how we can make this work", but then agree to an alternative offer that is unfair to YOU. He will not agree to an offer unfair to him.

Changing the trade offering on either side can still result in a workable trade after the AI has made that assessment.

Taking too big positions. There is no doubt the attraction of a big winning trade is on every trader's mind. And the temptation to take a big position (thinking it will be a winning trade) is always present. Money management for traders is essential to keep them in the markets.

What are the mistakes in trading?

Strategies stop working mainly because of curve fitting, structural and cyclical changes, survivorship bias, behavioral mistakes, commissions, and slippage. Short-term trading is a zero-sum game and you need to accept that trading strategies at one point stop working.

Why is my trading strategy not working?

TRADE FOR THE LONG RUN The first golden rule of trading is 'there is no short cut to quick earning'. Investors should follow a process to reach their financial goals, which include financial constraints and a strategy that help match your goals with those constraints.
