Quote from harrytrader:
I have never said that but I think it's a bit exaggerated to pretend that these familiar expressions reflect the real thinking of the guy who would employ it. I don't agree that most people don't take responsability of their failure, most do, but they don't know how to cope with it. As I said failure is the best opportunity to learn. In fact I always expect to fail first or even twice in any new matter. It happened several times:
I was nearly the last of my class in french then I became the second and first after two years of intensive work, I've got one of the worst note at my automation exam then I got the first note at the final project, I failed when I started in software engineering with the first course I've given to programers then I became an expert in some platforms, I've failed at trading twice when I began and now I know that year after year I will be among the best. Now it's also a new business area for me so I'm prudent not to go too fast and do things step by step. What prevent people to cope with failure is the fear of others looking at them like they are the worst idiots on earth after they failed. And that can be true that you are an idiot but if you're not then it's up to you to prove it also and while working on it you must of course support all the sarcastic guys : this can bring you down or on the contrary push you to succeed : there is the question of will. Also don't target too high at first: I've never targeted to be first or second in anything above, it's just that at some moment you have reached a level where you visualise that you WILL but if you just say I WANT to be first or second well that's not enough and it can even be deceiptful and demotivate oneself as it seems unreachable:
that's in fact the KEY TO SUCCESS: LITTLE BY LITTLE is the SUREST path. That's why visualisation technique doesn't substitute to real work and ... knowledge (see my signature). I only use visualisation once I have worked enough. In fact it's automatic for me to visualise.

Disagree with your theory most take responsibility, like many tried to sue MCD because they CHOSE to be fat

May help to as title says, change attitude, & words & deeds;
might not help at all if deeds are not changed.
A lot of times I do find myself making those comments, but I've never blamed it on "everything else". I can't even begin to tell you how many nights i've laid in bed tossing and turning trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I even bring trading journals to bed and lay there trying to figure out what I am doing.
Some days I hit things right on the head, other days I blow it. It's on the "blow it" days or the days where "the market treated me badly" that I try not to do anything stupid (which is hard). That way, on those Badly days, your losses are limited. You may take a small trade in the morning to "test the waters" and find that you just aren't in the right state of mind. When I do that, and I find out I'm in no shape to trade, it's a LOT of fun sitting there watching the market and ENCOURAGING others who ARE "getting it right today".

Just walk down to Ceres, at the back bar in the middle section, there I will be... encouraging myself
PS: I don't charge for encouragement services

IMo, the market does not give a damn about anyone, unless you are a huge institution/company or another way of looking at it:

Two of my personal rules:
Trades that lose money and are part of a plan are NOT bad trades, just trades that lost money as expected in the plan.
The outcome of the next trade is independent of previous trades, ie don't fear putting on the next trade just because you had a few losing trades in a row.

transformational vocabularly is a basic building block of neuro linquistic programing or NLP. NLP created by richard bandler and popularized by tony robbins is a very effective system for managing one's inner self hence your entire self. bandler has expanded upon the base theory of NLP creating "design human engineering", "tranceformation science" and "neurohypnotic repatterning". taken to the religious extreme --- this material morphs into a branch of occult study known as "chaos magick"
jai is totally correct in his proposal--change your vocabularly and change your trading and perhaps your life.
great post !

NLP is a cult, not based on scientific facts. Followers of NLP exhibit classic cult behavior. NLP is a multi million industry for profit and sustained through aggressive marketing.
Attitude has been studied extensively and there is a wide scale literature on attitude and behavior change based on scientific facts.

NLP was not created by anyone
It is mearly the observation of language and how it may or may not effect you and those that you communicate with.
That's all it is, anyone that is telling you differently is probably attaching a price tag to it in a book or seminar.
Save your money and just THINK before you speak and you will get the exact same results.

NLP is a trademarked term. it absolutely was created, hence the trademark. what is it that you don't understand ?

think about this, mr. turtle. in trading, you are already doing the "deed". therefore, the thing to change is your vocabulary to change your attitude, feelings and emotions about the "deed" ( trading); thereby improving your results up to your ability level---------- instead of being self destructive.
