Psychology of Trading Forex - Enlightening Video on Your Health
You want every edge you can have in your trading right?
Well, trading is definitely a mental game and how you feel directly affects how well you make decisions and also how good your timing is on your actions.
Taking care of how you feel, particularly your health, is a primary responsibility you have as a trader.
The saying “If you don’t have your health, then you don’t have anything” is especially true for traders.
If you don’t feel good, if you aren’t healthy or you have health problems or concerns on your mind, it makes it really tough to trade well.
You give yourself the best chances of good trading when your health is at its optimum, so watch this short video right now.
I was pleasantly surprised when I found this out and I’m sure you will be too.
Have a great weekend!
Cheers

Psychology of Trading - Is “This” How You Feel About The Markets?
Filed under: day trading forex currency, psychology of trading
Brian here and I have a simple question for you today that has a significant and direct impact on your trading.
Now “this” can be a number of things, but the word to put in right now for the sake of helping you improve your trading is…
Do you feel that the markets are fair?
Or do you feel that somehow you are being cheated, being wronged?
Do you feel that in the masses that comprise the markets, there are individuals or groups that are somehow against you as an individual trader?
I pose the question in order to help you get the results you want from your trading and here’s how:
… how you FEEL largely determines how you THINK and how you ACT.
How you feel also has a great impact on your timing - another critical performance aspect of trading.
If you hesitate, it costs you money, sometimes big money.
If your confidence is waning, so you decide to ‘wait and see’ when you should be getting out, you might just watch that winner turn into another loser.
There are a myriad of problems that your emotions can cause in trading,
…so give yourself the support you need by getting the Trader’s Guide to Emotional Management, which you can get as my gift to you by going here:

Forex Trader Training - The High Cost of Breakeven Trading
If you’ve been trading for more than six months and you’re still struggling to get your head around it, still struggling to get make consistent profits, then you are paying a much higher price for ‘breakeven trading’ than you probably realize…
To gain further perspective and what you can do about it, consider the following:
- You have the cost in terms of your life passing by, missing out on sleep, family time, and just plain R&R…
- There’s the cost in terms of your confidence, your ambition, your belief that you can make it, and the dreams that slowly die away…
- Then there’s also a HUGE monetary cost, even if you’re at “Breakeven” trading.
Think back to when you first started trading for a minute and you’ll quickly see what I mean.
Let’s say that instead of jumping into trading and winding up where you are now, you had slowed down a little, gotten some help and put together a working business plan that had you consistently profitable within the first 6 months (or less).
How much money would you have made between then and now?
How much would you be making each month, having built your account up?
THAT’s the opportunity cost that I’m talking about.
BUT it doesn’t have to continue.
You CAN turn things around and make it right - but you have to do something.
It won’t happen by accident or by you just doing the same as you have been.
And if you don’t want to wait, then you should be looking to fast track your turnaround (but in a realistic manner, not by just buying another trading system!)

Trader Coaching - Your Chance Ends In 36 Hours or Less…
Filed under: Trader Mentoring, day trading forex currency
Originally I didn’t even want to do this because it takes so much of my personal time, but I had a number of clients request it, so I did it more as an experiment than anything.
I didn’t really even know what to expect, and I must say the response has been a rather pleasant surprise.
But that’s also why I am pulling it down tomorrow (Tuesday Feb 23) at midnight or when the next 8 slots get taken, whichever comes first.
http://insideouttrading.com/total/
I truly enjoy helping people work through their specific trading issues and get their trading businesses in proper order so that they flourish and provide like they’re supposed to.
At the same time, and just like I preach to everyone else, I have to maintain a healthy balance between my work and my personal life. When I coach / mentor, it really put myself into it.
So that’s why I’m keeping this very limited. For balance sake, plus to make sure that I can give you the best help possible.

Just because if feels like success is far away, that doesn’t mean that it is.
In fact it can be right around the bend.
Oh yeah, in case you’re wondering what it looks like, go here,

Psychology of Trading Forex - What Holds Most Traders Back
As a trader, you’ve many feelings and emotions to deal with, including
- Greed
- Fear (a whole bunch here)
- Hope
- Despair
- Hurt
- Regret
- Revenge
- Anger
- Guilt
- Depression
- Hopelessness
- And a whole Pandora’s box full more
But there is ONE stands out as the real Nemesis for
most traders…
… the one that keeps them ’stuck’ at that level of mediocrity
that is the slow death that lasts for years:
It’s almost more like a terminal condition than a feeling.
And when you’ve got it, it can come at you from so many
different directions.
What really stinks is that when you’re not aware of it,
it disguises itself as other issues.
You can attend to one symptom, think you’ve got it beat,
only to find it rear its ugly head as something else.
One cause, different appearances.
And it drive you batty because it never seems to go
away and your overall trading just never seems to
get where you want it.
So what is it and what can you do?
First thing is to sign up for the Trading Psychology Coach,
the trader’s periodical that is designed specifically to help
you recognize and effectively deal with the tough challenges
that you have to deal with as a trader.
The second issue is about to be published and deals
directly with this ‘mental cancer’ for traders.
Cheers

P.S. Don’t let this one factor stand in the way of improving
your quality of life through better trading. When you remove
obstacles, progress becomes so much easier and more
natural.
Forex Trading Psychology - 4 Sources of Self-Sabotage
Have you ever felt like you sabotage yourself sometimes in your trading?
If you’re like most traders, you have and probably on more than one occasion.
One of the really aggravating aspects of self-sabotage is that it’s right in your face.
You know you’re doing it.
You know that you’ll regret it.
It happens anyway, and then yes the regret kicks in. Sometimes anger and and self-chastising come into play as well.
If it was coming from only one source it might be easier to address, but in truth there are four.
And no matter how many months or years experience you have, how great your system is, any one or more of the four can wreak havoc on your trading account.
Bummer.
The good news is that once you become aware of the four sources of self-sabotage, at least then you can take steps to protect yourself from their influence in your trading.
The other nice thing is that you can ease up on yourself a bit. Nothing can take you down faster than a furious session of self-berating.
When you understand what’s going on, then you can be a bit kinder to yourself, which is much more productive.
That’s just one of the reasons that I created the exclusive video, “Four Causes of Self-Sabotage”.
You won’t find it anywhere but at InsideOutTrading.com and it’s not even for sale.
To see how you can get access to it,
Cheers!
Brian
P.S. You’ve heard the saying, “We are often our own worst enemy.” You’ve probably also experienced it in your trading.
Take the first step to ending your self-sabotage right now - it is very costly in terms of capital but more importantly peace of mind and self-esteem.
Psychology of Trading - “Winners Always Want the Ball…”
Sometimes inspiration can come from unexpected places.
The other day, my son was watching the movie “The Replacements”, which stars Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman. In the movie, Gene Hackman is the interim coach of a replacement football team during a player strike, and Keanu Reeves is the quarterback of the team.
During their first game, the defensive players are talking a lot of trash and manage to get inside Keanu’s head. On the last play they put on like they’re going to blitz and Keanu gets nervous. He has a chance to win the game, but at the last second Keanu changes the play - and they lose.
While they’re walking off the field, Gene Hackman is furious, knowing that Keanu got scared when he thought the defense was going to blitz. To put things in perspective for Keanu, he says,
“Winners always want the ball when the game is on the line.”
So how does this relatet to trading?
One major factor that separates the winners from the losers is confidence versus doubt. They’re both faced with the same situation, but the winners can overcome their fears and doubts. They have a certain state of mind that they’ve developed that helps them stay focused on the victory, not the possible loss.
Winners want the ball because they know that when the pressure is on, and only bold and confident action is what will result in a win. Shaking with fear means certain loss.
Football, golf, soccer, sports in general, business, trading, etc all have one thing in common - they are 90% mental. Skills, experience, knowledge, strategy, etc are all secondary to your state of mind - because your performance and your results all depend on your decision making and timing.
So while it is tempting to let your focus be drawn to the latest fad in the technical areas, remember that nothing will do you any good unless you can keep your cool and trade well when the pressure is on - and it’s always on.
Cheers
Brian
