Hello Fellow Trader,

I hope this message finds you well and that the markets have been treating you favorably lately.

The Hidden Variable Undermining Your Success

There's one fundamental mistake I see experienced traders make over and over again – and it might be the very thing holding you back from the consistent profits you deserve.

What is it? Trading from memory instead of having a fully documented system.

When I surveyed traders some years ago, I was shocked to discover:

• Nearly 80% had no documented trading system at all
• Of those who claimed to have documentation, most admitted they weren't actually following it

This isn't just a minor oversight – it's a critical error that introduces unnecessary variability into your trading performance.

Why Mental Trading Systems Fail You

Think about a recent trading week where everything clicked and profits rolled in. Now, could you precisely recall every element of what worked three weeks later after experiencing a rough patch?

Most can't – and here's why that matters:

During difficult periods, we naturally want to “fix” what feels broken. Without clear documentation, you'll make adjustments and soon forget your original, successful approach. Two weeks later, you're left wondering: “What exactly was I doing when things were working well?”

The Professional Approach to Consistent Results

Consider how the military or successful corporations operate. When consistent execution is required across thousands of people, what's their solution?

Written procedures. Clear documentation. Step-by-step instructions.

They don't leave critical processes to memory or individual interpretation because they understand a fundamental truth: consistency requires clarity.

Your Emotional State Affects Undocumented Trading

When everything exists only in your head, your daily emotional state dramatically impacts your trading decisions:

• Had a rough night with little sleep and indigestion? You'll likely interpret charts with a negative bias.
• Feeling fantastic after a great day? You might see bullish signals even in bearish markets.

These emotional filters distort your perception when you lack clearly documented rules to anchor your decisions.

The Path to Trading Confidence

Documenting your system isn't just about avoiding mistakes. It's about trading with genuine confidence – knowing exactly:

• What to expect from your strategy
• Your anticipated win percentage
• Your expected profit-to-loss ratio

When you enter the market with these knowns rather than variables, everything changes.

Why Documentation Is Harder Than It Seems

Here's the challenge: most traders weren't taught how to properly document a system. Through my quality assurance background managing 183 people across seven departments, I identified 14 critical characteristics that make a process truly reliable and consistent.

When your trading system lacks these characteristics, you introduce variability that diminishes predictability and profitability.

Tired of feeling so alone?

The hardest, most costly way to trade is by yourself and learning through trial and error.

If you're tired of trying to deal with everything all by yourself and only getting feedback from the markets in the form of unnecessary losses and missed profits, consider getting help.

No matter what's currently keeping you from enjoying trading and the profits you desire, I can point you in the right direction.

For over 19 years traders have been coming to me for help getting unstuck and on to trading the way they've wanted it to be from the beginning.

If I'm the one to help you fix what's broken or someone else, let's have the conversation so you can put an end to the frustration with making less than you know you should.
