The Truth Behind Profitable TRADING ( must read)US SP 500 CFDFOREXCOM:SPX500AIRFOREXONE_Please note : This post isn't meant to scare you away from trading. Quite the oposite. It's meant to show you what NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT. Better to see it clearly now than learn it expensively later. This post comes from someone with more than 7 years of market experience ♾️How To Really Become Profitable? Profitable trading is not about finding a magic holy grail, strategy, course or even mentor. Of course, they can help you, but at the end of the day... You are the ONLY ONE behind the final click. Profitable trading is all about you! but how? Let’s get into it ! The average human is not wired to properly trade the financial markets...We are wired in the worst way to be a consistently profitable trader. Trading goes against the human psychology. To all those learning to trade the financial markets, this game is not what you think it is. Most books and courses simply do not paint an accurate picture of the reality. Most of traders think the only way to become profitable is focusing on the wrong things: ❌WHAT WON'T MAKE YOU PROFITABLE MORE INDICATORS MORE HARD WORK MORE TECHNICAL ANALYSIS MORE WRONG EDUCATION The truth is that all of these will never really bring you consistent results. Here’s a list of 6 elements that from my experience are game changers. I will go deep in each element so that you can really understand. Do us a favor and please support and comment this IDEA so that we can reach more traders. The first and most important element: ✅PROPER RISK MANAGEMENT That is the number one killer and doer. For most traders, they open a position size much larger than they can mentally afford. The problem is that by over risking you automatically let emotions have control over you. someone once told me: When emotions increase, accuracy decrease. Trading is a Game of probabilities you can do everything right and end up wrong and you can do everything wrong and end up winning. There is a random distribution of winning and losing trades. You must be ready to become confortable by losing. You must understand your degree of tolerance. Only you know your risk profile. Only you know what you can afford to lose Only you know the weight of your current life situation. Only you know you risk apetite. If you are having a bad situation with risk, just reduce your risk so you can get back the control. You must find the proper position size. This is not about the size of your account or the size of the position in dollars. It's about how confortable you are with proper position sizing. PROPER POSITION SIZE IS ALSO MENTAL ! ✅PROPER PSYCHOLOGY For most traders without seing consistent results, they believe their system needs some implementations or modifications, and they focus more on the “analysis” side by learning more stuff. They are in a infinite loop hoping to find that next holy grail. The truth is that you don't need more technical analysis indicators or course. You just need to sit in front of a mirror and understand how your bain acts when you trade. You must understand how you are affected when trading. There are many psychological aspects you should focus. We can talk years about it. I advise you to read Mark Douglas for that. One of the most important things is to Dissolve or reduce all your fears. You must learn to trade by dealing daily with your FEARS. You must understand and have a deep talk with yourself to see the way fear control your mind. Here are 4 types of fears when it comes to trading: Fear of being wrong Losing money , Distribute profit Missing out By other side you must understand the neuro associative conditioning that created good trading habits and self-destructive habits. Here are some examples of different neuro associative conditioning: Pro trades see retracements as opportunity to add to their positions while newbies see retracements as threats and might close the trade in profit in a simple pullback. Pro traders have hope when they have a winning trade and despair when they have a losing trade. While newbies have hope when they have a losing trade because they don't want to be proven wrong, they also have despair to distribute profits when they have a winning trade simply doing a pullback there are infinite examples. EVERY TRADER HAS IT'S OWN neuro associative conditioning that make or break them. ✅Healthy LIFE BALANCE As Paul Sartre said, we are our choices. What we do with our 24 hours will define the kind of person we are & we become. This is all about changing and adopting proper habits in your pro and personal life. If you don't manage to balance your personal life... All those bad vibes will send resistive energy and when you get this energy you can either shut down or step through and doo exactly what you are supposed to do regardless. Take care of your personal habits and problems. Avoid bad habits that drain your energy and focus on good habits that will make your BODY MIND perform well or at least well such as working out, sleeping well, eating clean etc... Trading is not made for the undisciplined human being. Take care of your body & mind. Before getting serious with trading, I I used to have a lot of bad habits that honestly, I’m not proud of it. But everything can change. It’s all about building a proper internal well-being environment. ✅THINK IN TERMS OF PROBABILITIES Mismanaging risk is a bad habit. Most of traders have the worst trading habits because they asume the outcome and they don’t like to be wrong. They assume they know what the outcome will be, so they bail out of trades. They think it will make them more money, so they risk more in one single trade because they believe this trade is a high probability one that it will make them money. They have a trade by trade approach. they execute with a Can’t lose mentality They assume that after a few wins the next trade is likely to be a winner, so they double up. They assume that after a few losses the next trade is likely to be a loss, so they do not execute or they reduce the risk. It’s okay we all have been there. By adopting simple proper” SERIES OF TRADE APPROACH” your outcome will change and you will become profitable in the long run. This is what we call think in terms of probabilities. This is the approach that a few minorities of the traders use. This approach is not based on predicting anything; rather this is a precise pre-defined system of pulling the trigger when your system or edge presents itself, and the outcome of the trade is irrelevant. ALL YOU CARE IS about the outcome of a series of trades. We take a series of trades, and we are entirely focused on the outcome of the series, and NOT the outcome of each individual trade. The outcome of each trade and attempting to predict the outcome of each and every trade is an uphill battle. You won't be able to predict the outcome of one single trade but yes you will be able to predict the outcome of a series of trades ✅SOLID PREDEFINED EDGE Mentors can transfer you knowledge but never experience. You need to use their experience to create your own plan make sure to set rules to find good trades execute those good trades and let those good trades play out. Trading is very personal. What might work for some might not work for you and that's okay. What might work for you might not work for someone else. Everyone is different. ✅LASER FOCUS LEARNING CURVE Those who make it in this business were laser-focused; they made a decision to either be right or wrong. A laser shines a coherent beam of light and is powerfully focused on a single point. That point will undergo immense heat or pressure. Same applies to learning to trade. It requires all your energy to be put forth on a single objective. Compare this with a light bulb or the sun, which shines its rays outwardly with its energy distributed in all directions. You will barely feel the heat as the energy is unfocused and dissipates accordingly. This applies to those traders who have issues They doubt their decisions and jump from one strategy to another they chase the holy grail they change from system, they buy multiple courses, change of style etc….. There is million ways to make money in the markets but only you will make it with your own way. My advice if to become like a laser focus. SOLID EDGE SOLID EXECUTION NOTHING ELSE. Make a decision and instead become focused like the laser beam on what it is that you desire to develop, and you are more likely to achieve your target. In order to keep in mind this, remember this quote of Bruce Lee “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”… ⚔️ Final Word Trading can be simply if you focus on the right things and quit the wrong things.
