Winning Trader Psychology

“I am par­tic­u­larly weak in my trade exe­cu­tion and Effec­tive Exe­cu­tion has pro­vided a frame­work for me to work on my psy­chol­ogy dur­ing trad­ing. I wrote down all the psy­cho­log­i­cal ques­tions on an index card and place it in front of me dur­ing my trad­ing hours. When­ever I find myself in anx­i­ety before or after tak­ing a posi­tion, I will use those ques­tions to remind me to focus on the task-at-hand and remain log­i­cal in my think­ing. A part of those ques­tions, is to exam­ine my breath­ing which is extremely use­ful to calm myself. After a few weeks of prac­tic­ing, it gets eas­ier to remain focus and poised dur­ing trad­ing.” Ivan from Singapore
