Hi there,
Brian McAboy here from Inside Out Trading, and I want to address something that's been eating at a lot of traders lately.
If you're tired of the constant anxiety about what the markets will do next, if that uncertainty is keeping you up at night or making you second-guess every trade, this message is specifically for you.
The Markets Aren't As Random As You Think
Here's something that might surprise you: Markets have more predictability than most traders realize.
If markets were truly random, your charts would look like dots scattered everywhere. But they don't. There are clear patterns, trends, and behaviors.
Why? Because markets are driven by people and computer algorithms programmed by people. When fear or confidence kicks in, predictable behaviors follow.
Your Edge Lives in the Patterns
Once you recognize the beginning of a familiar pattern, you have a window of predictability. Unless something major interrupts that pattern—like breaking news or a significant event—human behavior tends to repeat itself.
That's your edge. It's not about predicting the future perfectly; it's about recognizing when the odds are in your favor.
The Quality Assurance Secret (This Changes Everything)
During my years as a quality engineer, I learned a foundational principle that transformed my trading: Success by Design.
In quality assurance, we don't hope for good results. We engineer them through consistent processes.
Here's the key insight most traders miss:
You must start with consistency first, then optimize for profitability.
Most traders do this backwards. They chase profits while being inconsistent, which is like trying to hit a moving target while blindfolded.
Become a Constant, Not a Variable
The more inconsistent you are as a trader, the more you contribute to your own uncertainty and anxiety.
Think about it: Every inconsistency in your process is another opportunity for things to go wrong.
To minimize variables and maximize consistency, audit these areas:
- Your Trading Environment: Is CNBC creating noise? Are bills on your desk triggering stress?
- Your Behavioral Patterns: Do you follow the same routine before each trade?
- Your Process: Are you executing the same way every time?
The Two-Step Formula for Consistency
- Establish a consistent baseline process (don't worry about perfection yet)
- Systematically eliminate inconsistencies one by one
This approach from quality assurance works because it addresses the root cause of trading anxiety: unpredictable outcomes from unpredictable actions.
Why This Matters More Than Your Strategy
You can have the best strategy in the world, but if you execute it differently each time, you'll get inconsistent results. And inconsistent results breed anxiety and doubt.
When you become a constant—when your process is reliable and repeatable—something interesting happens:
Your confidence grows because you know exactly what to expect from your actions.
The Path Forward
The markets will always have some uncertainty. That's the nature of speculation.
But YOU don't have to be uncertain. You can be the one constant in your trading equation.
When you eliminate the variables you control, the market's uncertainty becomes manageable—even profitable.
Tired of it taking SO LONG to actually get consistently profitable?
Tired of it being so much harder than it seems like it should be to make profits, consistently and reliably?
