Hi there,
Brian McAboy here with Inside Out Trading, and I need to share something with you that might sting a little—but it's exactly what you need to hear.
The Major League Reality Check
Here's the thing: so many traders think that if they can just find one clever, winning strategy, they'll be set for life. But here's what I've learned after years in this game—having a great strategy doesn't mean squat if you can't execute it properly.
Think about it this way. Trading is professional speculation. We're in the major leagues here, trying to anticipate market moves and placing calculated bets on what we think will happen next.
Now imagine stepping into a Major League baseball game as a rookie, facing a professional pitcher, and thinking, “Hey, I've got a really good bat—I'm all set!”
Sounds ridiculous, right?
Just Because You Have the Bat Doesn't Make You a Great Batter
That pitcher is going to throw 90-mph fastballs, curveballs, sliders, knuckleballs—he's got a whole arsenal designed to strike you out. And you're facing not just him, but eight other professional players on the field.
It doesn't matter how good your bat is if you don't have the skills to use it effectively.
Same thing with trading. Just because you have a solid strategy doesn't automatically make you a profitable trader. You are the one swinging the bat, and your skill with that strategy determines everything.
The 80-90% Problem (And Why You're Stuck)
I see this pattern constantly with the traders who come to me. In your first year or two, you absorb massive amounts of information:
- How markets work and different market types
- Technical analysis and indicators
- Fundamental analysis principles
- Basic trading psychology and discipline concepts
You learn so much that you get about 80-90% of the way there. You're pretty far along! But here's the kicker—you're not ALL the way there. And that missing 10-20% is what's keeping you stuck.
It's Not Your Psychology—It's Your Training
Let me be clear about something: this isn't because you have deep psychological issues or lack discipline.
You've already proven you have what it takes to succeed. You have a professional career, you're successful enough to be in a position to trade, and you handle complex responsibilities in your other work just fine.
The problem isn't psychological—it's incomplete training. You haven't learned that crucial 10-20% that gets you over the hump and makes trading feel easy and natural.
The Quality Assurance Solution
After I blew up my account and lost $50,000 (yes, I've been exactly where you are), I discovered something that changed everything.
I took my background in quality assurance—which is all about consistent, repeatable performance—and applied it to trading. The result was a systematic approach I call Profit Assurance™.
This method teaches you how to:
- Develop a highly repeatable trading process
- Build genuine confidence in your execution
- Get mentally wired for consistent performance
- Trade from a relaxed, controlled state of mind
When You're Fully Trained, Trading Becomes No More Emotionally Challenging Than Your Regular Day Job
I'm serious about this. When you have a solid handle on what you're doing, the FOMO disappears. The second-guessing stops. The emotional roller coaster ends.
You trade with security and confidence because you know exactly what you're doing and how to do it well.
Tired of it taking SO LONG to actually get consistently profitable?
