I enjoy trading my own account, but I also have a passion to help traders achieve trading mastery. I've learned a lot along the way, not only about trading, but also about myself. Whatever your level of experience, I believe I can find a way to help. Aspiring traders naturally focus on the potential for virtually unlimited gains. But as Mark Douglas points out, few are prepared for the reality of the trading environment. There are four things traders need to master in order to survive the learning curve and prosper: 1) A Realistic Appraisal of Risk; 2) Emotional Stablility, 3) An Effective Trading Edge and 4) A Positive Mindset. Let's go over the basics or you can click here to review my Coaching Program. MANAGE YOUR RISK When things are not working out and we are losing money, we become susceptible to various mind traps. Together these contribute to a Toxic Mental Attitude that will sabotage success. MASTER YOUR EMOTIONS After a while, you may suffer emotional wounding like a soldier in a war, which may show up as risk aversion, or random acts of trading. Instead of trading to win, you will trade-not-to-lose. That attitude is self-defeating, because trading is about taking on risk while maintaining a confident, winning attitude. Emotional wounding can be repaired. You can read more about that here. MASTER YOUR TRADING SYSTEM MASTER YOUR TRADING ATTITUDE
Arthur is a former executive at a well-known database software company. He is smart, creative, confident, strong-willed, ambitious and very dedicated. In the business world he is a CEO-type, a "peak performer," but that did not help his trading. Arthur took his trading account from $1 million down to $100k in the year before he called me. How did this happen? As his strategies and tactics failed to achieve the desired results, Arthur never sought help. He remained focused on the market, not on himself or his system. To recoup losses, he traded more frequently and averaged down on losing positions. He chased momentum, he swung for the fences, he let winners turn into losers and he could not keep the losses small. His wife was worried about his trading, but he believed in himself and his abilities. In fact, Arthur always felt he was on the verge of tremendous success, even as his equity curve continued to plunge. His self-confidence actually worked against him. Bottom line: Whatever your level of intelligence, education or success in life, learning to trade for a living is likely to be one of the harder things you have ever done. To trade successfully, you need to do the exact opposite of what your instincts, emotions and business skills naturally urge you to do. Once the downward spiral starts for a trader, it tends to take an inevitable course to washout. RISK OF RUIN
