For some meditation might be enough, for many it isn't. Then I think there is pressure on people to wonder, "Why can't I solve my ___issues?" especially if they have meditated for years. This might result in their thinking "there is something wrong with me". When in fact, it may be issues...

I think that’s a false belief that unsaturated fat is healthy. Olive oil, coconut oil, and butter are the way to go. So soybean oil isn't so good, as I understand it.

perhaps take some money out of it before it gets to that level. That could be a psychological game. You might also want to write in a journal about what it means to make the money and try to see if you can access anything in the subconscious it’s getting in your way. This kind of thing is very...

I agree with this, unless you’re ready and willing to face your fear upfront and tackle it as a psychological experiment and healing. This is really about working through those parts of your subconscious that are getting in the way. This means fears and beliefs and experiences that are inside...

I was just talking with a trader about this. He’s an excellent trader as far as his skills and reading the charts and predicting what’s going to happen. But he’s not quite there yet as far as making money. Everything that’s in his way is emotional. Yet he keeps working on his skill, his...

They are pretty hard to get hold of lately. It’s unacceptable really. I call Lynn and talk to the trade desk and ask them for a manager.

Formika, so true. It’s a lot easier to focus on charts and strategies then it is to look at ourselves. It’s also hard for many to see the connection between their trauma and their past and their psychology, and then how it affects their trading. I see it really quickly! But for some it’s a...

I see if differently. That could be part of it, but often there are blocks in the subconscious from the past that can scare or freeze someone into inaction. Nothing to do actually with the market. The way you know if it is PAST trauma is when the fear (hesitation, etc.) is too big for the risk...

I am curious, why haven’t you traded? Fear? What are you afraid of?

Yeah!

Check out my blog here and maybe give this a try!

I put this under "Psychology" too. Blog on simple tool that might help your trading.

MY LATEST BLOG ---------- If you’re still struggling to follow your rules and be successful as a trader, try out this tool I use and see if it helps. It’s a simple tool I’ve used with several traders to help them deal with a specific area that bothers them and consequently affects their...

Very well said! That is my experience with most traders. Even writing a letter (that you don't send) to a parent whom you still have negative feelings toward, and letting it all out, has been known to free people up and help their trading. It is a simple tool but can be powerful and effective.

I think the problem is in a lot of cases with trading psychology the trader doesn’t know what the work is that needs to be done. Having a trading coach or psychologist that can ask questions and see your blind spots can be extremely helpful in pointing out blocks, such as belief systems, and...

I think exploring the psychology of trading is good to know overall, so you realize your issues are psychological in nature. After that, if you use a mindset coach, you need more. Otherwise, it is like teaching someone how to ride a bike, by explaining it rather than having them get on the bike...

Hi Same, to answer your question it’s not so much that they have psychological issues. We all have psychological issues. Losses and traumas from childhood… That may never really come to the forefront in our regular lives. As a trader it’s like putting a mirror up to your face and showing you...

Looks like fun!

Yes, and I'm guessing that most "pros" actually do much more poorly financially then a solid good experience Trader.

Thank you.:D
