Hi there,
Brian McAboy here from Inside Out Trading. I had a fascinating conversation with one of my clients last night that I think you'll find eye-opening.
This particular trader had a pattern that might sound familiar: He'd run his account up $70K, even $100K… then somehow find a way to give it all back.
Sound familiar?
The Hidden Reason You Keep Giving Back Your Profits
What we discovered in our conversation might surprise you. The root cause wasn't poor risk management or bad strategy. It was something much deeper:
He wasn't giving himself permission to win.
I know that might sound counterintuitive, but hear me out.
Why Good People Struggle with Trading Success
If you're like most of the traders I work with, you're probably a good person. You've been raised with solid values. You believe in providing value for money earned.
And that's exactly what can trip you up in trading.
Here's why:
- Trading can feel “too easy” when it's working
- There's no obvious product or service being delivered
- Making $1,000 an hour can feel uncomfortable if you're not used to it
- Part of your brain whispers, “This doesn't feel right”
The Truth About What You're Really Doing
Let me set the record straight: You ARE providing value when you trade.
You're providing liquidity to the markets. Without individual traders like you, there would be significantly less liquidity available for orders to get filled.
It's not as obvious as selling a product or service, but it's real value nonetheless.
Give Yourself Permission to Succeed
Most traders I meet are good people who want:
- Financial freedom and autonomy
- Control over their time and life
- The ability to provide for their families
- Resources to give back to their communities
These are noble goals. There's nothing wrong with achieving them through trading.
What This Means for Your Trading
If you're experiencing that nagging feeling that trading success is somehow “wrong” or “too easy,” pay attention to it.
Recognize that what you're doing is:
- Completely legal
- Ethically sound (assuming you're following the rules)
- A legitimate way to build wealth
- Part of the free market system that makes capitalism work
Don't Let Others' Limiting Beliefs Become Yours
If someone tries to shame you for making money as a trader, that's their problem, not yours.
As long as you're ethical, following the rules, and planning to do good things with your profits, you have every right to succeed.
This is part of your adventure in life. Embrace it.
