Dear Trader,

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to share some thoughts about a topic that comes up regularly in my conversations with traders like yourself.

Understanding Market Uncertainty vs. Randomness

Many traders talk about the “uncertainty” of the markets, and yes, there is definitely an element of uncertainty. None of us can predict exactly where prices will be tomorrow or next week.

But here's the crucial distinction: uncertainty doesn't mean randomness.

If markets were truly random, charts would look like scatter plots – dots randomly placed with no pattern. But that's not what we see, is it?

Instead, we observe:

• Clear price movements
• Recognizable patterns
• Repeatable formations
• Consistent human behaviors

What Really Drives the Markets

The markets are simply made up of people and computer algorithms. Both have predictable tendencies:

• People have natural psychological responses to certain situations
• Algorithms are programmed to respond in specific ways to specific triggers

This predictability creates what I call “windows of opportunity” – moments when market behavior becomes more predictable because something has triggered a consistent emotional or programmed response.

Finding Your Edge in Patterns

Every legendary trading strategy was born when a trader noticed the same thing happening over and over again in the charts. Whether it's:

• Candlestick formations
• Chart patterns
• Price action at support/resistance levels
• Volume spikes at key moments

Your edge comes from recognizing these patterns early and knowing what's likely to follow.

When Trading Feels Like Gambling

If you've ever felt like trading is just rolling dice – where you place a trade on a good setup only to have the market turn against you inexplicably – the problem might not be the market.

It might be your strategy.

Specifically, you may be using a trading approach that isn't aligned with your natural tendencies, risk tolerance, or personality.

The Importance of Strategy-Trader Fit

When you trade with a strategy that doesn't resonate with you, you create internal conflict. This often leads to self-sabotage and inconsistent results.

It's tempting to copy what seems to be working for others. But what works for someone else might be completely wrong for you.

Finding Your Perfect Trading Strategy

Over my nearly two decades of helping traders, I've developed a “Perfect Strategy Selection Guide” – essentially a cheat sheet with nine critical criteria that help you determine if a strategy is right for you.

When a strategy checks all nine boxes, you dramatically increase your chances of consistent success.

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.

Stop settling for less than you deserve
