In December, I did a multi-part presentation to my Deep Practice group on some of the things I consider key with respect to the mental side of the game. It’s not trading psychology like you might normally expect. For example, I have no interest in trying to suppress strong emotions such as fear. I know that trying to actively suppress fear, sadness, anxiety and other strong emotions just doesn’t work, despite the conventional trading psychology wisdom. Why? Well, think about this for a moment. The more you try to control and suppress your emotions, the more your attention turns inside to your internal state (i.e., your emotions, what you are thinking, and how you feel physically). If your focus is inside, how can you trade well? You simply can’t.
Conventional trading psychology says, “In order to trade well, you must first learn to control your emotions.” Not true. In order to trade well, you must learn to keep your attention on what matters to the trade!
I’ll be doing a free webinar on high value trading actions – those things you do control that definitely matter to your trade and also to you as a trader.
So, if you have been wasting time and effort trying to regulate your emotions, take a break. And come learn what really works. We’ll talk about high value actions, as well as some of the things I’ll be presenting in a multi-part webinar on developing cutting edge mental skills for trading in March.
