 Trading has gr8 uncertainty associated w/it. It’s also a place that gives little to no security . Also, trading is confrontational ... u have to stare at ur mistakes .

It is natural to doubt your exit strategy. What is most important is to be asking the right questions. What is most important is to be thinking about the right stuff. And you are. You need experience exiting stocks that trade in your favor. After months of practice, you will improve. Just keep thinking about your exit strategy. 

If you cannot stay in the game, then you cannot take advantage of the good runs.

(Before you trade live, we review your work. We can tell how well you have listened by doing this.) If your demo trading shows large losses, then this is a signal that you are not listening. If your work shows that you are doubling down, then you are not listening. If you are trading too many stocks, then again, you are not listening. If you are trading the wrong stocks, then you are not preparing properly. Your work does not lie, and it best reflects your training effort.

you almost certainly will struggle when you first begin. This is good because the best educators counsel that you learn through struggle. Your goal is to improve every day, and slowly. If you sprint out of the gate too quickly, you might not be around for the finish, the best markets.

We do not trade with size when we first begin because our win rate will be poor. We focus on the process when a new trader starts because they are developing their playbook. Each trader must learn which trades offer the best win rate FOR THEM in THEIR style.

 Trading teaches you a great deal about yourself.

There is no shame in failing as a trader. The real shame is never trying if trading is your passion. If you are passionate about trading and you never give it a run, then you will live your life wondering what could have been. Having the nerve to take a chance and trade will serve you well later in life. Perhaps the next chance you take will work out. What you will learn about yourself is invaluable. What you soak up about the markets lasts forever. To try and fail because you were not good enough is honorable. It would be refreshing if this was the reason why all new traders failed. Unfortunately, as we have learned, that is rarely the case.

Learning from adversity

 If they knew that every form of defeat, and all failures, bring them the seed of unborn opportunity, they would keep on fighting and win. Success usually is but one short step beyond the point where on quits fighting. Failure is a man made circumstance. It is never real until it has been accepted by man as permanent. Failure is a state of mind; Therefore, it is something an individual can control until he neglects to exercise this privilege. Failure brings a climax in which one has the privilege of clearing his mind of fear and making a new start in another direction. Failure proves conclusively that something is wrong with one's aims or the plans by which the object of these aims is sought. Failure is the dead end of the habit-path one has been following, and when it is reached it forces one to leave that path and take up another, Thereby creating a new rhythm. It gives an individual an opportunity to test himself wherein he may learn how much will power he possesses. Failure als...

 All great leaders in every walk of life are highly sexed, but they follow the habit of controlling their sex desires, switching them into a driving force behind their occupation. The person who has self discipline understands the emotion of sex, respects it, and learns to control and transmute it into contructive activities. Q: Just what damage is there in over-indulgence of sex? A: The greatest damage is that it depletes the source of man's greatest driving force, and wastes, without adequate compensation, man's creative energy. Controlled sex supplies the magnetic force that attracts people to one another. It is the most important factor of a pleasing personality. It gives quality to the tone of voice and enables one to convey through the voice any feeling desired. It serves, as nothing else can serve, to give motive power to one's desires. It keeps the nervous system changed with the energy needed to carry on the work of maintaining the body. It sharpens the imagination...

THE SUCCESS HABIT

“Success is simple. Do what’ s right, the right way, at the right time.”  —Arnold H. Glasow The choice we face is whether or not we want to form habits that get us what we want from life. If we do, then the Focusing Question is the most powerful success habit we can have. Whenever the outcome absolutely matters, I ask it. I ask it when I wake up and start my day. I ask it when I get to work, and again when I get home. What’s the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary? And when I know the answer, I continue to ask it until I can see the connections and all my dominoes are lined up. Obviously, you can drive yourself nuts analyzing every little aspect of everything you might do. I don’t do that, and you shouldn’t either. Start with the big stuff and see where it takes you. Over time, you’ll develop your own sense of when to use the big picture question and when to use the small-focus question. The Focusing Question is the found...
