I’ve been asking questions lately about how people relate to money, abundance and our own perception of what we deserve. So here’s a great question to ask yourself.
What is keeping me from being a consistently profitable trader?
Can you answer that question without defending the answer? Do you know what I mean by that? If your answer is not something within your control then your abundance will not truly improve. If you can’t truly say that you are making a choice to struggle and you are working on changing that mind-set, then you will stay stuck for some time I’m afraid.
You see, if bad trades are the market’s fault, or the annalist’s fault, or the ‘big players’ got me, or the broker was stop-hunting or I’m never at my computer when the obvious moves happen, or I was trading the wrong pair, or my favourite; I just need the killer system! etc… Get the picture!
As long as this is your thinking, you are giving your circumstances over to something else that you cannot change. However, if you take responsibility and focus on learning from every trade to improve, then you will start to see success.
I have a saying I tell my students when they ask if it’s easy. I respond; Trading is something we can all learn but the ability to stay objective in order to be profitable is what the real challenge is in trading. The only way to do this is to believe in yourself. That there is a way, and you will find it. This doesn’t mean finding a system, rather it means finding your way of dealing with loss and gain and how you relate to it, to be more objective and deserving.
Cheers
