Understand that being right doesn't equate to making money. Trading is a numbers game of balancing PnL through probabilities. Focus on extracting a lot from wins, not on how frequently you win. _$EDU
🔴When you notice the uncomfortable feeling/emotion there is an opportunity to “interrupt the emerging negative default pattern” that has been initiated by what got your attention, such as the price action drifting toward your stop.
🔴When this happens take a deep breath and count to 10 while simultaneously changing your physical position.
🔖Then ask yourself this question: What am I telling myself or believing to feel this. Once you identify your internal dialogue, you can begin to deal with it by challenging the negative thought or limiting belief.
🔴The difficulty stems from the myriad ways that the trading process challenges your weaknesses, character flaws and blemishes.
🔴Don’t allow yourself to continue to trade under the influence of negative default patterns. Identify, root-out, neutralize and replace it to protect your capital."
"If you’re a trader here reading this, I genuinely pray that God stands for you 🙏 That He gives you clarity when the charts are confusing, discipline when emotions try to take over, and patience to wait for the right setups.
May you be protected from costly mistakes, impulsive decisions, and anything that could derail your journey. And beyond profits, may you grow into a trader who is consistent, focused, and grounded in wisdom.
Keep showing up, keep learning, and trust the process, your time will come."
The difficulty hides behind the question: What to do with errant emotions like fear and greed that often stops me in my tracks and drive rule violations?
🔖Trading is counter-intuitive because humans are loss averse.
Losses tend to be twice as powerful, as gains.
🔴This bias can cause you to move a stop when it is threatened by the price action or to be immobile in the face of pulling the trigger to enter a trade.
🔴Default patterns are inertial, meaning that whatever your baseline behavior, there is a great internal pressure to maintain that baseline behavior.
🔴One of the ways to increase self-awareness is to take your emotional temperature from time to time, especially when you are in a trade."
As a trader, continue to dedicate effort until your profit and loss graph demonstrates a bullish trend. If the chart consistently encounters support and resistance levels, this indicates that you need to put in more work.
