Winning Attitude

  
  Education
#  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #

Developing a Winning Attitude will stop negative thoughts from creeping in, and outside influences from changing your plan. Here are my thoughts about developing a winning attitude:

  1. A positive attitude enhances your market performance.
  2. Don’t dwell on losses if they are part of the system’s performance.
  3. Attaining a goal starts by having a goal. Avoid setting goals that cannot be achieved. Achieving your goals means sticking to your system each day.
  4. Achieving your goals means doing the homework before the market opens.
  5. Achieving your goals means placing all of orders ahead of time.
  6. Understand how your system is constructed and its maturity before you take the first trade.
  7. Achieving your goals means following through from start to finish.
  8. Focus on the next winning trade, and leave the last trade behind.
  9. Be organized, consistent, set goals and follow through.
