Hi traders,
that the purpouse of the thread is to share how to exchange the market and not allow the market exchange you.
Target:
Say decent bye to mental trading,
say good bye to repeating same mistakes repeatedly and feeling rather helpless about that,
say good bye to allow your emotions run .
Claim your power back, become the boss, unwind into that, own the sport and revel in it.
Handle your emotions with ease and grace and unwind so that you can tune in the flow of the minute, feeling in which the market is and what's going on.
This can be your reality, it is all up for you and your commnt to face what's there to face. The only reason we do not encounter the results we all want is our unwillingness. And the further we accept the easier it becomes to turn the awarness onto what needs to be confronted.
For a long time I thought it is about trading, markets, price, charts, platform, statistic etc.but all these are nothing but add ons. Who's in charge ? Who's accountable for all the decision? Trader is. So master yourself..and the rest becomes non issue, the best, profitable decisions will get natural, as it is who we all are in our core. It is just that due to the past, the way we learned to operate during the life, we did not let our skills to make use of our highest and best as far as they could be. Just how much or how little that's individual, but looking at your results to where you would like to be and comparing that will tell you things gotta shift.
I'll add more as time permits. Couple strategies for now.
1) Self-awareness, Self-awareness, Self-awareness:
- know to observe yourself, the state you are in, what's going on within your body. Whether you believe it or not does not matter, you turning the lens of your consciousness within and it is only a matter of practice and have that skill anyway. Your body will tell you lot of things that will help you navigate. It is the pair of indiors I know of. Seriously.
- What state you/your body is in? Is your breathing profound and calm? Is you breathing fast and shallow? Are you relaxed? Are you contracted? Do you feel some tension/contraction/pressure someplace? Do you really feel something flowing indoors? That is with you telling you exactly what you may be interested to be aware of, the way that your body communies. And again, even in the event that you don't think you truly feel anything..you do. Just keep practicing. I was the same that I do not feel anything guy. Boy, was I wrong!
- If you fail to be aware of where you are right now, how do you proceed towards in which you wanna be? You can not.
Two ) Breath calmly, deeply:
- whenever you realize emotions comes up or already owns you, PAUSE and concentrate on breathing, the market can wait. After all emotional choices pretty much suck and that I guess you may know that.
- Breath in, concentrate on the breath moving through your body, wait for 2-3 minutes, then breath outside. Relax your body. Rinse and repeat.
- If the feelings are too large - possibly too much anxiety or too much excitement, rapid deep breathing may be better, as though you would just complete 100m sprint or do some hefty ling.
- Just breath anything that clouds your thinking away. And breath away/relax any which you know by simply breathing into it. The there's on your own body, the greater the energy can flow, the calmer you are and the better choices you make because the brain gets enough oxygen. Trading day, that way you unwind the struggle flight reaction that might get triggered through you. There is no purpose in being on alert if you do not possess a lion behind your back. You will find reason why the fight flight mechanism gets activated when we do not see any threat. I'll tackle that later. It takes update of whatour system deemed dangerous.
For now you calm down it by deep breathing telling it literally It is fine, no threat in sight, whatever it was triggered it..it's fine now, just unwind. It cuts and this Fight flight prepares for battle, maximum speed and efficency of reactions the flow in the body and also into the brain making you react instinctively. That is pretty much light speed. Produced you have this expertise when you responded kind of automaticaly eventhough you have amazed by something. And then you wonder how in the world did you do that? Great reaction, fantastic reply, not even prepared..maybe it could be better..but it was great and suitable enough..and that you simply don't know how did you actually do it. That is was that the instict in actions.
Thinking takes too much time. Yet throughout the development, as the real threat became less and not as part of our fact we all forgot to listen to our own instincts and also in order to make them work for again, we gotta get in contact with them and integrate them. And self-awareness is the means to do it.
You can not screw it, there's no wrong or right way. Whatever works for you. Be creative, play it, feel free to experiment. After all it is about finding what works for you/the way it works for you and that's about self-awareness.
3) know that your WHY's:
- WHY you want exactly what you want
- WHY you do exactly what you do
- helps you with clarity and getting all of you on board with everything you would like. Sounds bizarre? You'd live it already if you would be entirely on board with everything you would like. There are reasons why you limit yourself/your life, as that is not the case. By digging to the WHY you bring the stuff that remains in the best way to your awareness and that's where it ends for it is the begining of the end of it. The end of this using power over you. For has power over us. Become aware of it and it's days are numbered.
Feedback is welcomed and valued together with questions.
I ask for honor and gentlemans attitude. We may disagree, that's ok but there's a lineup. I am not interested in I am right you are wrong plays. That is simply not worth my time . Am I wrong from your point of view? Ok, I am totally ok with that. Following your it's your perception and thus be it.
Everything I write about that I breath and reside myself. My talk is walking. My trading results, much more like the pain of them made me know all that and tought me to develop these skills and operate the way I operate today. I was basicaly forced by life to face the debilitating truth..And I am grateful I stopped running away from it and had the balls to face it.
Shoulda do it a lot sooner but I wasn't aware of what's going on, what really matters and what to do with all that. That is so that you do not have to repeat the mistakes I 18, why I share it . It is costly, it is painful and you simply don't have to. Life can be hard itself .
It is simply amazing how trading and all my life became so much more relaxed, stress free and profitable. The travel is continuing but I take life and trading personaly. No proving anything to anyone, not even to myself. Regardless of what happens. . I turned into Ok, do not really enjoy the outcome/ the way I reacted/responded etc..hmm, OK, no big thing. Now what? . .no endangering myself more beating on myself. No more blaming others or circumstances..bad luck etc..simply, ok, things happens but life goes on and obviously there is something to learn I did not know! So keep playing with the way you can!
And that's really great state to be in. And yeah it does. I do trading choices. . But significantly less and less..and they are not as expensive. Simply I confront out the day and my entire relationship with myself changed. . And that's amazing and priceless.
My aim is that you guys experience the exact same state of simplicity, elegance and relaxation as you exchange and go through your day.
