It seems to vary from person and from time to time. Sorry, I don't have percentages for you.

Thanks for asking. My website is awylan@yahoo.com. The Enlightened Traders site is my blog.

I am a coach. I coach. There’s more information on my website if you’re interested.

Good point, let me rephrase. What I mean is you Ideally don’t want to be working on trading psychology, for example, by reading a book. Or by studying the topic. You need to DO it. You’re better served working with someone who can help you specifically uncover your own stuff and help you figure...

Mason, in general it sounds like textbook language about psychology. Working with a coach or psychologist is done in real-time. It doesn't have to be "measured" etc. to be supportive. I will ask you the same Q, . . . Have you had the opportunity to work with a coach? Psychology isn't an...

MacBook, its interesting, I really don’t help people to “trade better.” I help them understand themselves, their behaviors, their subconscious actions, impulses, etc. As a result of our work, there is healing, growth, changing habits, releasing past traumas, and more. Through this work, trading...

Hi easymon1, great question. When I first meet them probably 10% or less might have a plan in writing. It’s usually just part of a strategy and not flushed out. One of the first steps we take together is to flush out a more complete plan. More similar to a business plan, including vision and...

My two cents. . . I talk about psychology a lot and think that it's the most key part of trading. But risk is key too. When it comes to risk, I have seen many traders starting out with a plan of shooting for a 1/1 risk/reward ratio, or worse. It is a basic concept to have better odds when you...
