Trading is a game of survival. Survive long enough to not blow all your money when learning. Survive long enough to allow your system to reach the levels of profit that you expect. Survive long enough to allow your money to compound & start seeing the results that you dream of.

When I first started trading I tried to overcomplicate everything because I thought that that's what it took. 13 years later I find myself going more & more back to the basics each year & focusing on mastering the simple. It's a classic case of moving backward to move forward.

We're being sold a lie when it comes to trading & that's why many people think it's a scam. Think about it like this, if I had a program that could teach you how to be a doctor or a chemist in a week would you believe me? HELL NO! Trading is a skill & it takes time to develop it.

My main problem as a new trader wasn't making good predictions. It was convincing myself to exit prematurely because I was 1) Scared to lose money. 2) Scared to give back profits. 3) Scared because the trading guru on the forum didn't agree. Quote from @LoneStockTrader #Trading

Had a trader share this with me the other day saying it was his "weapon against losers." I think this is an excellent example of the mindset that we need to have going into trading & how we should approach each opportunity. Also, do yourself a favor & read "Trading In The Zone"

When I set off on my trading journey my wife was the only person who believed that I could become successful. She saw the worst of me throughout that journey, yet always kept a smile on her face. Without her, there's no way I would have made it. #NationalSpousesDay #Trading

There are a lot of traders that are great at making predictions but can't enter positions. Sometimes this is due to a lack of entry rules & other times this is due to fear. At the end of the day, a prediction is pointless if you can't execute the order.

When new traders watch me trade they often comment on how cool it must be to trade without emotions. THE TRUTH IS I do have emotions & I feel every bit of them while trading. The difference is that I no longer allow them to influence my decision-making. Quote - @TradingComposur

Too many traders get caught up focusing on the small picture. Whether it's having a great day or a bad day. The truth is consistent positive habits are more important than results because that is what will lead you to the long-term goals that you desire. Quote from @Sjosephburns

Here's the thing about trading. Almost everything works, but not everything works consistently throughout different market conditions. This is the difference between those who take their time to test the markets & those who just jump in for a quick pay off.

I always say that your trading strategy should be a reflection of your personality. If you're constantly doing something that you're uncomfortable with, it's only a matter of time before you lose trust in what you're doing & start making mental errors. Quote from @yvanbyeajee

As someone who graduated in 2007/09 & then went on to become an investor. I can tell you that paying for 6 years of college + grad school & not being able to get a job because I was overqualified for entry positions & underqualified for everything else was a lot riskier.

As a younger trader, I remember listening to all of the news pundits before each trading day & when it was time to go into the charts I would only see what they convinced me to see. This is called negative confirmation bias. Have you ever done the same? Quote from @SJosephBurns

2 Losses & a single win in the markets last night. Unfortunately one of those losses was a max risk loss on the GBPJPY which means the single wasn't able to make up for it. I share this because this is what the reality of trading looks like. You win & you lose. #wednesdaythoughts

It's still a little sad to see traders upset at me over this year's transition to bigger and better things, but to say that I've abandoned them...well, I won't feel guilty for that at all. I give away MORE FREE content then what others charge for & for that I'll never apologize.

When I first started trading my chart featured more indicators than price. Seriously I had about 6 indicators & then all needed to pine up before I could take a trade. Needless to say, I rarely took a trade & when I did it was usually too late.

My mindset in trading is similar to that at the casinos. Once my money is on the table (entering a position) I assume that I'll never see it again. This may seem odd but if I'm not comfortable taking the risk then I shouldn't be involved in the 1st place Quote by @PeterLBrandt

Are you more concerned with feeding your ego or account? I once worked with a trader who was intent on having a 90% win rate. He eventually did so but it came at the expense of having a negative risk ratio & despite winning 90% of the time he broke even

Out of the 4 stages a trader goes through. The "Conscious Incompetence" stage is by far the most frustrating. This is the stage where you know what you're supposed to be doing, yet you just can't seem to consistently do it. Give me a 👍below if you've ever been there.

Trading isn't about going finding action, rather, allowing the action to come to you. Have a plan, wait for the market to give you the opportunity that you're waiting for then pounce. Other than that you shouldn't be involved in the market. Quote - @MikeBellafiore #Trading

It's incredible what can happen when you believe in yourself. And when that belief starts to fade (and it will), surround yourself with those who will believe for you. We are nothing without a strong support system. In a world where everyone is against us, they keep us strong.

Very few supported me when I 1st started trading. I had 2 choices. 1) Listen to them and give up on my dreams. Or 2) Use them as motivation to succeed. I went with the later & now those same people who laughed want me to manage their money or teach them how to trade as well.
