I have learned so much from so many and know that others have also. So why is it that so many struggle to even achieve small gains and why do so many think that small gains is all that is the reality.
Maybe they are only getting what they seem to want. What if that statement thoughts become thinks is true. Would YOU chance your thoughts ? or are you to hard headed.
There are things that maybe we shouldn’t post or talk about as they may make us seem less professional or take away from our creditablity. I consider myself to be a successfull trader , The Reason I say this is because I know why when I have a loss what happened and that it wasn’t a whim of the market but was a bad choice on my part.
To have gotten to this point has taken some time and I still have a ways to go to be the consistent trader I know I can be. I just hear time and again on forums the group that continually tells people that a gain of 10% or 20% over six months or a year is the norm. I don’t believe this. With my limited successes and constant 10% to 20% a week I am fully aware that a person with full control of their emotions can and does have the potential to pretty much limit their gains by nothing more than their willingness to increase their trades based on their equity.
MikeW. got me to thinking about this stuff. He has a thread titled Motivation. But when I can make 10% a day or even more and all it would take to do this on a dailly basis not even thinking weeklly and to see so many other deserving good hard working people also struggle and so few get theirs brings up some of that Law of Atraction thoughts.
If you have ever read the Trading in The Zone Book. ( if not you should)
It is highly known as a very good book about the traders mind. It explains some of the reasons we traders may fail due to nothing more than ingrained thought patterns that society at large takes as the truth.
To that end I would like to address all those that get upset when I or anyone else says that a normal person with due deligence should be able to have returns of 20% a week (actually considerable more). If all you want or expect from trading is those small gains that you feel is all that is possible maybe that is the reason you have only ever achieved those types of gains or may not be achieving.
To the point if there is one. I know by now most of us have seen or heard about the movie The Secret http://www.thesecret2u.com/ The Secret 2U… It is a nice movie to get a feel for the law of attraction. But it has been out to the public a lot longer than that movie makes you believe. The hard part is taking a entertaining movie and then applying it to a real life. I posted the Master Key Pdf last week I am reattaching it here as well. It is a study guide to help teach you to use the law of atraction to help you achieve what you really want to.
We have all heard it takes money to make money. We assume it means that you need money to invest to make more money. I now think that it means that a person that once has made lots of money always knows that it is nothing to do again. It isn’t the money it is the thought that they have the money already that attracts the money. Now you know why I said sometimes we should just not say anything. LOL
So I consider myself a reasonable person with reasonable ideas and a questioning mind. So I learnded a little bit about the Law of Attraction and then started to try and qualify that. It isn’t that hard start thinking about the world around you and the people you know. I am sure you know some people that seem always to have a smile on thier face and upbeat about everything. Yes they have bad days but seem to bounce back so easy, On the other side we all have and many more people we know that are always miserable and nothing goes right thier health is bad and they never catch a break.
As humans we tend to think of this as luck of the draw. I have found that this isn’t so. It takes so little to shift our lifes. Why do abused women or men stay in those relationships and even move from one to the other ? Do you really think that want that ? If all you had to do was to have consistent thougths of change to have change wouldn’t we want to learn to do this. I am not a great writer I struggle trying to offer advice to others. so forgive my butchering.
So how can we make this work for us. You now have seen the secret Movie. It is a easy to watch movie about this subject. A movie prior to that was titled; (What The (Bleep) Do We Know.) Should be available at any rental place or Library. It actually goes into the Physical aspects of why people attract what they are. Why people keep getting bad or good from life. The key is the fact that we can and do have control of where our lives go.
When you have a choice do you go and hangout with your buddies at the pub that are complaining about their lack of money or how bad everything is. Next time hangout with those celebrating something and are in a great mood. Do this always and you will then start to see that your attitude will change to the positive also. Then other people will start being attracted towards your positve energy.
When you have one of those great trades or great days. I want you to
STOP !!!
Then I want you to remember exactlly how your feeling at that moment then everyday prior to trading do your very best to duplicate that feeling. Going through your mind exactlly how that trade unfolded. What you saw how you entered how you managed the trade and why you closed. Make a copy of that winning trade ad some text explaining your feelings. Because we are always told to think positive. This is the feeling you are exactlly looking for. no one can tell you what that feeling is but if you stop and observe yourself you will have found that feeling that can change your life.
Yes we need some understanding about trading but apparentlly that gets us only so far. So many have the tools but can’t use them. Why do commercial traders do so well. What is the greatest emotion FEAR. They are scared to lose their jobs and livellyhood. So they can do what they are told or taught.
I hope some can get something from this I do. another book of great learning is THINK AND GROW RICH. These are books from people that have succeeded not wanted too. They have now laid it out for others to use. I also am attaching the Zurich Axioms. If any group knew how to achieve finacial greatness the Swizz Bankers did.
I hope your all having a great weekend. Ken
