Free Trader Training - Why This Time of Year Is Excellent For Some But Lousy For Others)
This time of year is excellent for some traders.
They’re making huge strides with their trading and enjoying the substantial progress, while the rest see this time of year as rather slow and are waiting for things to “pick back up” as they always do in September.
The really smart traders are busy working on their trading businesses to make the coming months tremendously profitable.
The problem with waiting until things ‘pick back up’ in September to decide to get busy is that…
…when things pick back up, life gets busy and wow, what do you know, now there’s no time to work on things.
So everything stays the same.
And taking your trading to the next level gets put off until there’s more time. Like next summer.
But you can take this opportunity to really take it to the next level right now and best of all it that it doesn’t have to overwhelm you.
Just an hour or two a week can make a HUGE difference.
At the end of 2010, you can be looking back on a really excellent year or you can find one filled with regret and more “shoulda’s”.
Now is the time.
Enjoy!
Cheers

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.

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.

Free Forex Trading Education - Keys to Having the Winning Mindset
When it comes to trading Forex, your mindset is the most critical aspect on which to focus, but what specifically does that mean, and how do you go about it?
Most traders I work with have that question initially, and it is very worthwhile to pursue because EVERYTHING depends on your state of mind when you are trading.
Okay, so what does ‘mindset’ mean in practical terms?
Your mindset is the set of expectations, beliefs, attitudes, doubts and desires that you bring to trading. Yes, this sounds like a pretty broad list, and it is - your mind is not a simple place. It is quite complex.
Yet at the same time, getting your mindset right for good trading does NOT have to be an overwhelming task.
First thing to understand that much of your mindset is determined by a handful of perceptions. These perceptions include what trading is all about, your relationship with money, and your self-image.
The reason that so many very intelligent and otherwise successful people struggle when it comes to trading is because they underestimate what trading is, what all is involved in successful trading, and what it takes personally to make it as a self-directed independent trader.
They struggle NOT because it is such a complex or inherently difficult occupation. They struggle because they fail to take the simple steps to make it a successful pursuit.
Why do they fail to do this?
Primarily lack of guidance. Trading is perceived as such a simple endeavor that many think that they can just go it alone, getting their education on forums and in articles. While these can be helpful, this is one of the most difficult ways to learn a profession, which trading is.
Those that at least partially recognize that trading truly IS a business, albeit one with low barriers to entry, give themselves a HUGE advantage.
How is that?
Because the simple act of recognizing the nature of the activity brings with it a host of perspectives, attitudes and expectations that put you in a very advantageous mindset - the right mindset to win.
This is why the trading wisdom, “Treat your trading as a business” is SO crucial and more important than most realize.
When you treat your trading as a business, you inherently shift the odds of making it away from failure and towards success. The business-like approach and mindset bring a calculated approach to your trading.
To see how well you are treating your trading as a business, there is a FREE quiz you can take.
Often times it is in knowing the right questions to ask…

From right now until Monday Night at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, you have the opportunity to get my personal help with your most pressing issue(s) and save some substantial dollars.
I provide different personal services for traders that address different and specific issues - problems that are normally quite difficult to resolve all on your own.
What is your most pressing issue at this time?
Take a look through this list and see which - when addressed - would have the greatest impact on your trading right now.
- Self-sabotage or other psychological issues.Do you find that you are sabotaging yourself and giving back profits to the markets that you really should be keeping instead?
Would it be helpful to have someone to talk with to explore WHY this is happening and WHAT you can do to fix the situation?
- Consistency and / or clarity could be better.Do you know (or at least think) that you have a pretty good trading system, but you find it difficult to trade consistently because it is somewhat vague in parts to where you would have a heck of a time properly documenting it or analyzing it to collect the metrics?
Would your confidence with it (and your results) be improved if you could have someone critique your trading system and help you get it properly documented for clarity and general soundness?
For MANY traders, this really is the root of most of their problems - they are trying to trade with an incomplete, unclear or not-well-defined trading system - which makes it really hard to trade!
- Jumping around from one system to another without progress.Do you find yourself jumping around from one system to another, trying to trade too many markets, or just sort of running around in circles while not making real progress toward the consistent and comfortable trading that you desire deep down?
Do you feel quite a bit of anxiety when you think ahead to the coming months because you really have no clear idea what to expect from your trading?
Do you feel like you’ve been wasting tons of time and money trying different things, and you just want to be able to settle down and FOCUS?
Would it be helpful to have someone help you filter through all the noise and help you find get that focus, direction and organization that you’ve been wanting and needing?
These are just a few of the specific areas in which I help traders and I can help you too.

Forex Trading Education and Services - Memorial Weekend Special
This weekend will be special over and above being a holiday weekend (Memorial Day is Monday here in the States) for a handful of traders.
Here’s the story…
Every week I get emails from all kinds of traders asking for my help because they are having trouble with one or more problems in their trading right now, such as:
- Self-sabotage or other psychological issues. Some traders are looking for someone to talk with to sort out why they are sabotaging themselves because they are tired of regularly handing back all their profits to the markets
- Consistency could be better. Some are doing okay with their trading, but they know that they could be doing better and want help with a particular matter, such as getting their trading system clearly documented and tweaked to help improve their consistency
- Need direction, focus, organization. Yet others are tired of jumping around from one system to another and know that they need help gaining clear direction for their trading because they know that they’ve been wasting way too much time, money and effort without progress, so they look for me to help them get organized and focused
Well this weekend, if you are one of the lucky traders that qualify,
…you are going to get the personal service and help that you want PLUS the chance to SAVE some serious bucks.
Now why do I say “that qualify”?
Because of the demand for my services, I am selective about who I work with.
If you’d like to be in the running for my personal help and some substantial savings, then you need to do 2 things:
- Send me a short email letting me know what your situation is, what your needs are and why I should take you on as a client.
- Check back to the blog tomorrow, Friday May 28, 2010 at noon Eastern time.
That is when you’ll get your chance to get my personal service, my personal help with your particular problem(s)
