The Secret
Instantly, your mind is shifting to one thing right? Strategy. NOOOO, wrong, try again. If your brain goes there it means you've been manipulated by the classical way of doing things. The wrong way.
If your first thought was strategy, you've already identified the mistake yourself. The real mistake is hidden deep behind the random clicks of buttons. Your psychology is where the largest mistakes in your trading lie. It's the one place you don't ever see.
What is psychology in trading?
In short, psychology in trading is everything. Yes, that's as easy as I could make it. It's everything, every small decision, to every loss, to every disrespect of your rules. It's all tied back to the state of your psychology.
The most important part of psychology is learning control, which is a thing that is crafted after years of extreme trading losses and lessons.
There is a different reason though, as to why so many traders are almost starting trading with terrible psychological states from a trading standpoint, let me talk to you more about what that actually is.
The Real Reason
I want you to think back to the first time you ever heard about trading. Spare me of the BS, we all know it was when you seen copy traders or mentors making it look like fast money. Don't worry, its why we all started, nobody is more noble than you.
You see, the angle of fast money is the only way you'll get clients in the door as a guru. Since if a mentor was to really focus in on what it takes to truly become profitable, they would only have the time for 5-10 real students in their entire lifetime.
Yeah. It's that long sometimes. This is where the real issue begins. As from the start, the traders that are experienced are pulling the newbies toward becoming inexperienced from the beginning.
What do I mean? Well, newbies come into trading on the basis and belief they are getting fast money. While the majority of us, in the real trading world know that isn't an instant possibility. This creates a set of traders that are bound to fail, and will give up. As the psychological attachment came from believing in fast money.
How to break the cycle
I tell this to anyone I know that starts trading. Always remember, nobody in this cut throat game will want you to get fast money. As the very premise of the courses/groups are the fact that you will remain reliant on this person forever.
However, you do not have to be. The cycle can be severed, but only if it has never been adopted. When starting trading, its important to learn a multitude of strategies, so you can narrow down which is the most fitting to your needs.
The beauty is, you should always do this without the help of mentors. As with a mentor you are building bad psychology, and reliance. Which are 2 things that will forever stand in the way of profitable trading.
SO what is the biggest mistake Killing your trading? Leaving your psychology to chance. As doing so, will only see you get filtered out like any average rookie.
