We need to write down your chief aim.

It will mean a loss you can ill afford if you fail to grasp the real reason for establishing a definite chief aim in your mind.

There principles are:
First, every voluntary movement of the human body is caused, controlled, and directed by thought, through the operation of mind.
Second, The presence of  any thought or idea in your consciousness tends to produce an associated feeling and urge you to transform that feeling into appropriate muscular action that is perfect harmony with the nature of thought.

Example. A definite purpose as your life's work and make up your mind that you will carry out that purpose. From the very moment you make this choice, this purpose becomes the dominating thought in your consciousness, and you are constantly on the alert for facts, information, and knowledge with which to achieve that purpose. From the time that you plant a definite purpose in your mind, your mind begins,both consciously and unconsciously, to gather and store the material with which you are to accomplish that purpose.

Desire is the factor that determines what your definite purpose in life shall be. No one can select your dominating desire for you, but once you select it yourself it becomes your definite chief aim and occupies the spotlight of your mind until it is transformed into reality, unless you permit it to be pushed aside by conflicting desires.

To be sure of successful achievement, one's definite chief aim in life should be backed with a burning desire for its achievement.

Merely desiring freedom would never release a prisoner if that desire were not sufficiently strong to cause him to do something to entitle himself to freedom.

Beyond your burning desire

Three steps leading desire to fulfillment.
1.Burning Desire.
2.Crystallization of that desire into a definite purpose.
3.Sufficient action to achieve that purpose.
remember that these three steps are always necessary to ensure success.

A definite purpose is something that you must create for yourself. No one else will create it for your and it will not create itself. What are you going to do about it? and when? how?

Desire

Start now to analyze your desires and find out what it is that you wish, then make up your mind to get it.

Your part is to follow the directions until you arrive at your destination, as represented by your definite chief aim. Make that aim clear and back it up with a persistence that does not recognize the word impossible.

When you come to select your definite chief aim, just keep in mind the never varying truth that you'll get nowhere if you start nowhere. If your aim in life is vague, your achievements will be also vague, and, it might well be added, very meager. Know what you want, when you want it, why you want it, and how you intend to get it.

Every line a man writes, and every act in which he indulges, and every word he utters, serves as inescapable evidence of the nature of that which is deeply embedded in his own heart, a confession that he cannot disavow.

Your first step is to decide what your major aim in life shall be. Your next step is to write out a clear, concise statement of this aim. This should be followed by a statement, in writing, of the plan or plans through which you intend to attain the object of your aim.

Your next and final step will be the forming of an alliance with some person or persons who will cooperate with you in carrying out these plans and transforming your definite chief aim into reality.

The purpose of this friendly alliance is to employ the law of the master mind in support of your plans. The alliance should be made between yourself and those who have highest and best interest at heart.

If you are married, your spouse, should be one of the members of this alliance, providing there exists between you a normal state of confidence and sympathy. Other members of this alliance may be your mother, father, brothers and sisters, or some close friends or friends.

If you are a single person your sweetheart if you have one, should become a member of your alliance. This is no joke.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

CAN A FIRM ALWAYS SPOT THE NEXT GREAT TRADER?

 No. But a prop firm can tell who has a poor chance to become a CPT. To be good at anything will take everything you have. Not having developed the skills to work hard is a turn-off. Trading is a skill learned by doing, not just by reading a lot, theorizing, or the faux art of “paper trading.” THE PROS AND CONS OF RECRUITING EXPERIENCED TRADERS Loyalty is a good thing to a point, but it cannot trump logistics and reality. losing money should really bother you. If I am negative three days in a row, I spend a long evening on my couch with a bottle of red wine and comfort food. As traders, we can all recite the memorable line from Wall Street: “A man looks in the abyss, there is nothing staring back at him. At that moment he discovers his character. That keeps the man out of the abyss.”  Traders don’t talk about how they want to trade, what they want to read about trading, or how they wish they could talk about trading. Traders trade, read about trading, and talk about trading.

Disciplined Trader Chapter 2

The following typical trading errors have a specific cause rooted in a thinking methodology that can be changed. 1. Refusing to define a loss. 2. Not liquidating a losing trade, even after you have acknowledged the trade's potential is greatly diminished. 3. Getting locked into a specific opinion or belief about market direction. From a psychological perspective this is equivalent to trying to control the market with your expectation of what it will do: "I'm right, the market is wrong." 4. Focusing on price and the monetary value of a trade, instead of the potential for the market to move based on its behavior and structure. 5. Revenge-trading as if you were trying get back at the market for what it took away from you. 6. Not reversing your position even when you clearly sense a change in market direction. 7. Not following the rules of the trading system. 8. Planning for a move or feeling one building, but then finding yourself immobilized to hit the bid or of...
