 Do not cut profits short and cut losing positions fast.

Once people can turn their mindset from a problem focus to a solution focus, they can identify the adaptive things that they are already doing and do more of them.

You will not become a better trader by emulating a market guru. You will become a better trader by identifying the occasions when you are already trading well and then modeling your future performance on those.

If you are struggling with your trading, thinking of hanging it up, you need to identify your own collage the things you are currently doing that break your problem patterns.

The most helpful part of a fearless trading inventory is the firsthand recognition that, even amidst failure, one does indeed harbor the seed of success.

Entering a facilitative physical state is one of the quickest ways of placing oneself in a winning frame of mind.

Even the solution that seems the smallest can serve as an anchor for life altering change.

-Taking breaks from trading
Trading is especially successful after an extended break. The change of routine allows you to return to trading with a fresh perspective and to perceive patterns that would otherwise not have stood out.

-Immersing oneself in what if scenarios.
Chance favors the informed mind.

-Playing loose
Many successful traders learn to keep loose at the trading station in the same way that boxers or ball players stay loose before and during their contests: with uplifting music, banter with friends, and pregame warmup drills.

-Achieving nonattachment
As soon as you need something, or need something to occur, it gains control over you.

Do a few things well, and perform them often and consistently. Confidence does not result from positive thinking; it results from the ability to face defeat with equanimity and to avoid attachment to market outcomes.

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...

TIME

Time is the law of hypnotic  rhythm. The lapse of time required to give permanency to thought habits depends upon the object and the nature of thoughts. Time divides all thought habits into two classes, negative thoughts and positive thoughts. One's individual thoughts are of course constantly changing and being recombined to suit the individual's desires, but thoughts do not change from negative to positive or vice versa except throught voluntary effort on the part of the individual. Time penalizes the individual for all negative thoughts and rewards him for all positive thoughts, according to the nature and purpose of the thoughts. If one's dominating thoughts are negative, time penalizes the individual by building in his mind the habit of negative thinking and then proceeds to solidify this habit into "permanency," of course, refers to the natural life of the individual. In the strict sense of the term, nothing is permanent. Time converts thought habits into wh...

THE 4TH LAW Make It Satisfying

 The Cardinal Rule of Behavior Change Everyone said handwashing was important, but few people made a habit out of it. The problem wasn’t knowledge. The problem was consistency. We are more likely to repeat a behavior when the experience is satisfying. This is entirely logical. Feelings of pleasure—even minor ones like washing your hands with soap that smells nice and lathers well—are signals that tell the brain: “This feels good. Do this again, next time.” Pleasure teaches your brain that a behavior is worth remembering and repeating.  Conversely, if an experience is not satisfying, we have little reason to repeat it. In my research, I came across the story of a woman who had a narcissistic relative who drove her nuts. In an attempt to spend less time with this egomaniac, she acted as dull and as boring as possible whenever he was around. Within a few encounters, he started avoiding her because he found her so uninteresting. Stories like these are evidence of the Cardinal Rule...
