Many traders fight with their emotions while trading

Understandable that you don’t want them interfering with your decision-making

The wrong emotions cause you to make bad decisions that cost you in all sorts of ways:

• money
• confidence
• shame
• guilt
• time wasted
• bad associations reinforced
• unhelpful response patterns reinforced
• more painful memories to replay through your head later
• the list goes on and on…

But you’re a human being and you can’t just turn your emotions off

That’s a losing battle because you can’t be what you’re not

So the key is to create conditions so that you have the RIGHT emotions while trading

Emotions that are supportive and actually help you trade well

So what kind of emotions are we talking about?

The emotions that are constructive and work in your favor

Some are there for you whenever you want.  You simply tune into them

• Gratitude & appreciation (for even being able to do this)
• Love, for your kids, your spouse, yourself (yes, you should be on the list too)
• Respect, for the markets, for the challenge in front of you
• Enjoyment of trading itself (not excitement over the chance of winning!)

With other constructive emotions, you have to create the circumstances to truly experience them

• Optimism
• Confidence
• Faith
• Security
• Peace of mind

So how do you create the circumstances to feel these feelings when you’re trading?

First of all, by recognizing that if you are NOT feeling this way, it is because something is missing

Established and knowing success

So how do you get that if it’s been eluding you all this time?

Generally speaking there are 3 steps

1. Get very clear on what you’re doing, by properly defining your trading systemYour trading system is your decision-making guide, and if it is NOT super clear and complete, then that leaves you wide open to anxiety in the middle of a trade and creates an invitation for the wrong emotions to come in and cause you to make bad decisionsWhen your decision-making process is proper and solid, making the right decisions is much easier to do
2. Test, analyze and measure your system, so that you know, again, very clearly what its capabilities and limitations areAgain, when you don’t know, this creates anxiety, FEAR of that unknownBut when you’ve PROPERLY proven out your system and you have realistic expectations for it, you’ve addressed that unknown

   Now one thing the testing does that many miss out on, is it gives you practice with your system, which is HUGE

   This is how you attend to the uncertainty of the markets, by making the unknown known in terms of probabilities and through proof (established success)

3. Adapt, tweak and change as needed, but in a calculated and organized manner, not random guesswork, trial-and-error.Things will change, and you have to be able to adapt

When you have THESE things in place, these skills, processes and practices, you create the circumstances where you go into your trading VERY well prepared.

When you do this, you experience that established success that gives you the confidence, optimism and peace of mind to trade well

Put this to use and see the difference in your trading experience

I hope this has been helpful!
