Today’s Emini Trading Room was very profitable. Coming back after an extended weekend is not always easy. However, sometimes it can look easy. Do not be fooled by the look of things and how they really are. That may sound odd for me, a trading coach, to say, but I want you to be fully aware of how trading is. I know a lot of marketing out there is on making things look easy. That is not how I roll. It is what it is.
Trading is a difficult way to make an easy living. It takes a lot of work, dedication, and training to be able to make it look easy. That is why it is important to show losses as well as gains.
Today, I took 3 trades for a gross total of $1,900. The basic system involved trading 2 contracts per trade. However, once the method is learned adding contracts is where real wealth is made.
That is why it is important to discover our real motivations for wanting to become traders. It is in knowing the why that we can setup the when, how, and a training routine.
Sharing our trading journey can be helpful to others, but it is always helpful to ourselves. A lot of times we are not completely honest with ourselves, which can hurt us. In trading, not being completely open with ourselves can really destroy any chances of being consistently profitable that we may have.
The brain is our strongest muscle, and also what houses who we are and how we interact with the world. If we lie to ourselves, well then it is like us to lie. If we are truthful to ourselves then it is like us to be truthful. Every little thing we do is important when embarking on a trading journey, because the brain records everything. That is why it is so important to be on top of everything.
If you would like help on your trading journey we have a trading bootcamp.
