What you believe is what you get?

I think that until your subconscious and conscious minds are in agreement about your goals, you will encounter trouble along the way.

I couldn't agree more. I think very few people subconsciously want to get rich. All of the knowledge and talent we need to achieve our dreams is right here, harnessing that power for the "right" purpose (what we want) is the hard part IMHO.

Totally. It helps to have a theme song too. I have one that I sing to my self over and over. The only lyric is "i've got aaaallllll the money ...in the world, in the world, in the world"

It has a nice ring to it.

I tried to get my wife on board in regards to rewarding my subconscious, and she said she'd try, but I'm having second thoughts about opening that can of worms.

You would enjoy Trading In The Zone, particularly Douglas' account of his efforts to "become a runner". Both his books spend a great deal of time on beliefs and belief systems and how they affect our perception of the markets and what we expect from them. Highly recommended.

I did enjoy his book, "Trading in the Zone" I think it should be required reading for all traders.

I haven't read the "Disciplined Trader" do you consider it a must read also?

I also was part of an online seminar he had in March 2001 that was really helpful.

As far as I am concerned his word is law.

Bruce

I like what you said vanilla2, yes live to the standards of who you want to be. Excellent, I think you nailed it.

Quote from Dman:

When I trade well I reward myself with good beer. When I reach my goals for the week or month I treat myself to other little luxuries. There have been a few times when trading wasn't so good but I needed a beer. I am proud to report that on these rare occasions I maintained discipline by drinking Busch Light

Well Dman, I am glad to see that you are a man of honor, since I don't consider light beer, beer I don't think there are any inconsistencies in your discipline , well done. Keep up the good work.

regards,

Bruce

I don't know that I'd consider it a "must", but the Zone is more of an extension of it than a replacement. In other words, I'm glad I read both. There is also a great deal more about belief systems in the first than in the second.
