Lose the bad attitude ,Better attitude equals better decisions

You can’t be a winner in the markets or in life if you don’t also have a winning attitude and surround yourself with those who offer the same. It is far too easy when the chips are down and our strategies are out of sync to start beating ourselves up and feel like a worthless moron. That comes with the territory. If it would be easy, everyone would be making loads of the money in the market and we know that isn’t true as most can’t even keep up with the S&P. Remember, trading and investing is not a precise science and a lot more luck is involved than many will tell you. So, in this business, when you fall down, you’ve got to dust yourself off and get back on the horse and, more importantly, keep plugging away. When you start thinking negative thoughts, and we all do, stop them immediately. You can’t consistently win in the markets if you can’t consistently foster and maintain a positive attitude in everything you do.

Trading markets without knowledge

knowledge1Trading without adequate knowledge of the markets and self is foolish because by doing so you are gambling. There are traders that subconsciously want to lose money. I used to be that way, I think. I believe that my problem was I didn’t do much research or preparation. So essentially deep down I didn’t feel I deserved the money. There is a certain amount of self-knowledge needed to choose the proper trading method. It has even been suggested that many small traders in the futures market, without knowing it, secretly want to lose. They jump in with high hopes – but feeling vaguely guilty. Guilty over ‘gambling’ with the family’s money, guilty over trying to get ’something for nothing,’ or guilty over plunging in without really having done much research or analysis. Then they punish themselves, for these or other sins, by selling out, demoralized, at a loss.
