Free Trader Training - You Can’t Fool Your Subconscious
Filed under: Trader Mentoring, forex trading strategy, psychology of trading
You can’t fool your subconscious.
Huh-uh.
No way.
No how.
No matter how you might hide it from everyone else, your subconscious always knows - always.
I remember when I first started trading and I’d hit a decent winning spell. I’d start feeling like I had a good handle on it and was on my way.
But at the time I’d been making largely on luck, much more so than skill.
And every time I’d have a decent run and I’d get feeling a bit cocky, my subconscious will step in and have me hand it back - because I hadn’t really earned it.
Sound at all familiar?
One of the things I eventually figured out in the repeating the above cycle was that buying a new trading system doesn’t fix this kind of problem.
Neither do ‘trading psychology’ tricks, drills or subliminal gimmicks.
You see, I couldn’t fool my subconscious.
It knew that I still hadn’t acquired and developed the skills to be a truly proficient trader, to deal with the realities of trading.
It is an entirely different matter to know how to do it well.
And at the time, I didn’t even really understand what I needed to get good at, besides of course execution and sticking to my trading system.
That’s why I feel for the whole ‘Discipline’ fallacy, like most everyone else.
But it’s not a matter of discipline, it’s about becoming the trader with the skills, know-how, and tools to have the real confidence.
When I discovered and developed the skills to become a real professional, to be good at trading, but with a very conscious competence…
…that’s when things changed.
It was when I changed, not just picking up another tool.
When I changed, my subconscious knew it - and finally let me enjoy real success.
Only when I changed what I’d been doing, when I stopped looking for more tools and chose to become a more solid trader…
…only then did my subconscious stop sabotaging my efforts.
I’m sure the same is true for you.
If you want to put an END to self-sabotage in your trading, then doesn’t it make sense to get the training that will transform you into the type of trader?

[Free Trader Training] Why It’s A Mistake To Be A Courageous Trader
To even consider being a trader takes guts, that’s for sure.
Problem is, being courageous as a trader is really a red flag.
Here’s why.
You see, courage is taking action in the face of fear, in spite of it.
And trading from a position of fear is not a desirable way to trade at all.
If you have genuine fears, not just a little excitement from the anticipation of getting on with your trading day, then that is a sign that a real problem exists…
…a problem that will wind up costing you.
What kind of fears?
- The fear of losing money (or capital)
- The fear of failure
- The fear of making mistakes
…just to name a few.
Fortunately, there is a simple and direct way to become free of your fear.
That’s right. Instead of feeling fearful and anxious about your trading, you really can feel very at peace and secure.
It’s all about replacing your fear with real and well-founded confidence.
That’s why the addage “Treat your trading as a business” is so critical to being able to trade with true confidence, rather than hope and courage.
This approach gives you the full confidence that you are trading in a calculated and knowing manner.
Now, there are certain elements and processes involved in treating your trading as a real business, and a proper business plan is at the heart of it all.
The word “proper” is the operative term in that statement. Most traders make the mistake of having “make lots of money” as their business plan, and that’s all. That’s not a business plan by any means.
To have real confidence in your trading operation, discover the trader training program specifically designed to walk you through the steps of properly organizing your trading business, including the creation of your own personal Trading Business Plan,
When you don’t treat your trading as a business, you’re running on hope and faith, which leave you open to all sorts of fears and other emotions.
When you are properly organized and prepared, you have true confidence in what you’re doing - and you no longer have need for courage because your fears have been addressed.
It is truly the best way to trade!

2 Crucial Trading Best Practices You Can’t Afford to Neglect
Brian here with 2 extremely critical “Best Practices” for traders that you really
must not neglect, or your trading will suffer.
In my Quality Engineering days, we always sought to establish Best Practices wherever possible because it had a measurable effect on the bottom line, plus numerous other aspects of the business.
Now in trading there are Best Practices which will definitely benefit you and if you neglect them, your performance and your results are almost certain to suffer.
The First Best Practice
Highly successful businesses don’t just ‘happen’ by accident or by themselves.
…and you do want a highly successful trading business, right?
I mean you’re not in this for mediocrity or just something to do, are you?
No, you want a trading business that is consistent and most of all RELIABLE.
You want the security of knowing that your trading business can be counted on to provide both right now and for the future.
Again, reliable businesses don’t just happen, but the reason the so many traders never get anywhere, let alone taking it to that level where it IS reliable is this:
- they make the mistake of thinking that if they can just get making some money, then somehow everything will fall into place.
Where things go wrong
So many traders wind up too busy doing the thing of the business to ever take it to that next level, and just stay in kind of that ’scrambling to make money this month’ mode.
This is how businesses that ‘just survive’ get built and the owners usually do NOT enjoy the lifestyle that they want.
They do NOT have the security in their business that they want.
The other (and more common) result is that the business struggles and dies, usually in a matter of months, simply because of the resources that get wasted instead of contributing to the bottom line.
So the solution is to implement the first Best Practice: taking time to work “on the business”, not just “in it”.
This is most crucial AT THE VERY BEGINNING of the venture with the most important business asset - your Business Plan.
Once that is in place, then taking time periodically to again work “on the business” and not just in it, is so vital to making it what you really want.
The Second Best Practice
Because you are the decision-maker and center of your trading business, how well you perform has a direct impact on how good your results are, so…
You need to live by the second Best Practice: making the time to take care of yourself - this means several things.
1. Take the time to exercise. Taking a walk or jogging or anything that gets you away from ‘work’ and does your body good will also benefit you in your trading.
2. Take time to detach and get some R & R. It is vital to efficient and effective trading for you to take time completely away from trading. A full 24-hour break, meaning completely stepping away from it, will do you worlds of good.
3. Get enough sleep - how can you expect to trade at your best if you are shorting yourself necessary sleep? You can’t, so make sure you get enough to feel rested.
4. Mind what you eat. Certain foods will agree with you and others might taste good, but don’t serve you well. On trading days, eat what helps you feel good and sharp.
Summing it up - and more…
Your trading is your business and it directly depends on you the trader.
Put these Best Practices into place and make them practices.
Remember to work “on your business”, take care of yourself, and make sure that you have a Business Plan.

Psychology of Trading Forex - Manage Your Beliefs, Control Your Trading
I’ve got another excellent video for you today from Head Trader Todd Brown of TripleThreatFX.
In today’s video, Todd gives you insights on how to:
“Manage your belief systems and control your trading”
Here’s his message before you watch it,
What are your belief systems behind your trading? Do you
believe you can truly be successful? Because what you feel
about your trading plan has a direct influence on your results.
Your future in trading depends on your belief in the power
of the model and the strategy. I put together this video “SysTrain
Session from Dynamic Structure Training Series” to explain
this to you in great detail.
http://www.triplethreatfx.com/blog/
In this next video you will learn the 5 following points:
1. Developing a strong belief in your trading system.
2. What your brain sees when looking for the optimal
conditions when entering a trade.
3. How the “IF” in the conditional process is essential.
4. Applying the “WHEN” factor.
5. Combining both the “IF” with the “WHEN” together.
A sound trading strategy requires walking through the entries,
stops and targets. In order to see if it is a good strategy, there
will be a string of winners, losers and sideways equity.
You will learn to familiarize and accept the above three conditions
and how they are the components of absolute truth behind any
trading system you will ever see.
Simply click on the link below to be taken to the video blog
where you can watch the video and I welcome your comments
and questions as well.

Trader Training Video - From a Seasoned and Successful Veteran
I’ve got a worthwhile video for you to watch from a good friend and colleague of mine.
Here’s his message before you watch it,
When dealing with literally thousands of clients over the past 15 years, I’ve noticed this is one common theme that they all have had to learn to accept and overcome.
This even applies to folks who’ve been trading for several years.
To hopefully save you some time on this vital topic, I decided to create a 9 minute video for you explaining one thing that will have you trading better than you have had in years.
I have personally coached thousands of clients in over 200 countries and in this video I am going to shatter a common misconception that separates the “real traders” from those that continue to struggle despite all efforts to the contrary.
“From a Ditch to a Mansion Thanks to Trading”
This is not your run-of-the-mill “dry” boring video. And it’s not a sales video. It’s pure content that will give you some insight that you can use right away and share with you some of my own mistakes and history as well.
If you’re not getting the results you’d like to experience in trading, you’ll likely discover why by watching this video could help turn it around ASAP and could shave years off how long it will take you to finally be successful like no other.
Limit Your Emotions and Follow Your Plan,

Good Trading Books - I Read This One In Less Than A Day
Now I do NOT speed read, but this book was so engaging that I literally read all 228 pages in less than a 24-hour period.
Trading is all about decision-making right?
Well then, I’m sure you’ll like this book too because that is what it is all about.
What’s the book?
It’s called “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking” by Malcolm Gladwell.
Cool insights into your mind and how your decision-making process works (or doesn’t!).
You can find it at your local bookstore or online at sites like Amazon or Borders.
This will definitely make for a good read over the weekend!
Cheers
Brian
