The Essence of Trading Psychology in One Skill


Book Description

Do you: *Freeze right when you're supposed to take a signal? *Consistently risk more than you should on your trades? *Prematurely exit good trades and hang on to bad ones? *Beat yourself up after a losing trade? *Compare your results to others? As any real trader who trades for a living will attest, these are recurring behaviors that can be difficult to eradicate. And the reason is rather simple: the pressure -- to perform, to sustain a living, to pay the bills -- engineers anxiety, stress, and other limiting states of the mind which precisely affects behavior, and makes trading consistently a battle that is difficult to win. For a very long time, I have struggled with those too, but the more I learned about myself, the more I realized that all these problems have the same origin at their core -- and they're solvable! I am incredibly excited to put this book into your hands! I have been trading for a living since 2006 and I went through multiple failures in the markets. I will show you how I am now able to sustain consistency in my behavior and my results -- it's not as hard as you may think! The essence of trading psychology in one skill is a concise and practical guide to change, and at its core is one simple concept which you can start to apply right away.

Paradigm Shift


Book Description

Movies such as The Wolf of Wall Street glorify anexcessive lifestyle; yet, searches for stock broker jobs on indeed.com rose to a near 80% in the U.S around the release of the movie. This shows us that people are mesmerized by the prospect of easy money. The true purpose of our lives has to be more than an exercise of accumulating money; however, society conditions us to think differently. Our potential for happiness and our value as individuals are erroneously based on the amount of money we are capable of earning; hence, people come into trading with hopes of making millions in their pyjamas - and that is precisely why they fail. The very nature of financial markets makes them uncertain and almost impossible to predict on a trade by trade basis; therefore, successful trading can only happen when we drop our need for control. It requires that we let go of our attachment to certainty and money in favour of equanimity. In doing so, we not only find consistency in our results but also emancipationfrom the fetters of fear and greed, right and wrong, good or bad. To put it another way, self-knowledge has some amazing liberating qualities.Paradigm Shift lays down the foundation for equanimity which allows us to see market action from a detached perspective. It enables us to learn from our mistakes and use failure as a springboard to success. It stimulates an openness to learn more about ourselves and the nature of our human experiences. It is my sincere hope that this book will inspire you and help you realize your potential for greatness - as a trader but also as an individual.Inside you will learn: ~ Why self-knowledge is important when dealing with the markets. ~ Why it is important to understand the game. ~ Why it is important for you to let go of your attachment to outcomes,certainty, money, and so on. ~ How to become an observer of your own stream of thoughts for a more satisfying trading experience. ~ How to set up a process for peak performance in the markets. ~ Why mistakes and failures are important stepping stones on your path to success. ~ The actions to take daily that will create a ripple effect in your life. ~ How to become your own personal trading (and life) coach.
