Traders Mastermind

As traders we can fall into the trap of driving our trading business by looking down the bonnet (hood for my American friends!) This might stop you from crashing, but are you really going to get to where to want to go if you don't look up?

Can you copy other traders or do you need to create your own edge?

Weaponise your word. Doing what you say you are going to do can be a superpower in both trading and life...

Does your trading style really fit your personality? If not, change it. Find something that plays to your character strengths.

Aligning yourself with market conditions is one of the most essential skills for a trader. I run through some of the key questions to ask before you place your first trade of the day. Download your checklist [PDF] https://www.tradersmastermind.com/pre-market-checklist/

Don't enter into negotiations with your trading chimp. Simply refuse! Take control and YOU dictate the terms. There's nothing to discuss, it's getting done...

Trading can be frustrating. Stops, partial fills, targets missed...& so much more! Look at frustration through the lens of growth. How you choose to respond to trading frustration is the test...

Fed up on constantly breaking your trading rules? It's time to rip up the plan, start from scratch and work on one at a time... www.tradersmastermind.com

Forming sound trading habits allows your mind the freedom to make risk-based decisions with more clarity and with less bias.

Are you strictly a day trader? Perhaps it's time to loosen the shackles and dip into the higher timeframes if the opportunity presents itself. As traders, we like to label ourselves as a specific type of trader, but often the market changes rhythm and we can use the skills that we've developed on one timeframe to our advantage in another. www.tradersmastermind.com

Having a clear vision of the trader you want to become is key. Aligning that vision with your actions is even more important. Without that internal alignment you'll struggle to get traction.

Overthinking is choking your chances of winning at trading. In this episode Mark explores overthinking and how to deal with it.
