[I hope you enjoy reading this story. I certainly had fun writing it!]
There were two identical twin brothers and these two were identical in almost every way you can imagine.
As Children Growing Up
They had the same appearance: same hair cut, same voice, laugh, sense of humor.
Even had the same body odor and breath.
It was almost impossible to tell them apart, even for their parents.
They had the same upbringing and education through grade school, middle and high school.
Went to the same college, had the same classes, same teachers, got the same degrees.
When They Became Adults
When they turned 25, just for fun, they took an IQ test and their scores were only 2 points apart.
Got married on the same day to identical twin sisters.
Their kids were conceived on the same weekend, born on the same day and even shared the same names (these guys were crazy about the identical aspect).
They both had the same job working for the same company, has the same title, same boss, and even shared the same office.
Heck, they even would dress the same just to mess with everyone.
The Weekend Seminar
They went to a weekend seminar together and started trading at the same time, with the same account size at the same brokerage and using the same platform.
When it came to strategy, of course they both made the same choice there too, even the same system to employ.
Same charts, same rules, same indicators.
Yet one brother struggled to trade consistently while the other brother that scored 2 points higher on the IQ test executed his trades quite comfortably.
In no time at all, their account balances showed a huge discrepancy.
Their lives also began to differ noticeably.
The now-successful 2-points-higher brother bought a new car for his wife and booked a week-long getaway for the two of them to a nice resort in Hawaii.
The other brother wound up putting in overtime to make up for his losses.
He’s also sleeping in the dog house because his wife is mad at him.
So what made the difference for the two brothers, besides the 2 points?
Small Difference, Big Impact
The successful brother understands that there’s more to a trading system than just the rules and indicators.
He understands that there is a process to properly employing a trading system and it starts with documenting it the right way, something that his brother didn’t bother to do.
Now they live with very different results, all because of a very simple matter of how they handle their trading system.
The successful brother realized a simple truth:
Being a successful trader involves more than just finding a good system and following it blindly.
There is a psychology to trading systems in and of itself, meaning that HOW you deploy a trading system greatly affects your mental and emotional state as you trade.
Subsequently, it determines how well you’ll be able to execute it, and even more importantly how consistently you’ll be able to perform.
Small difference, huge impact on the results
Again, it starts with basic understandings, like how to properly document your system.
The successful brother used a simple 3-step process to document his system and it works like a charm.
It will work for you too.
