Un neurólogo de Zúrich dijo:
El cerebro no se agota por el estrés, se agota por el exceso de pensamiento emocional (y la cura es sorprendentemente física).
Encontró el antídoto en algo sorprendentemente simple:
Interrupción física.
@samuraipips358 1 : 10 recruits get accepted into the special forces which requires many years of training.
1 : 100 traders become a long term profitable trader, 10 times less likely.
1 : 1000 long term profitable traders outperform the market long term, 100 times less likely.
Why try?
@TechCharts I have tried contacting your team regarding the paid membership and noone has contacted me back on email, it has been a few weeks now. I have bought the quarterly by mistake.
@TechCharts Do you trade the diagonals? If so how many of these trades make up of the total trades you take. I’m just wondering if they are very small percentage why draw them on the chart?
I dont' know who needs to hear this... but if you sell, you get CASH (liquidity) that you can then use to buy that same asset back later -- whether higher, lower, or at the same price 🤠
5) The Risk-Type Compass
Goldstein found that traders fall into 8 risk profiles.
Steven quickly realized if risk and personality type didn’t align, long term trading success was unlikely.
But once you align it? Everything changes.
@PerceptivTrader I have pulled most of my money out of my account and now investing in learning how to trade for good. Any suggestions who to go to? Swing/position trading. Need help to build system, structure, journal - everything.
Whether I coach Major traders at Hedge Funds, or Established Retail Traders working from home, all traders I meet suffer by varying degrees from significant amounts of Behavioral Slippage.
‘Behavioural Slippage’ is a term I coined from my experience as a professional trader for many years, and from coaching traders since I left behind my professional trading career behind.
I describe Behavioral Slippag in my book as the difference between what you could potentially make in the markets, based off your knowledge and understanding of markets, together with the processes and practices you use to generate returns and profits, and the profits (or losses) you actually generate.
The difference between the two being almost exclusively down to behavioral and psychological factors.
The image at the bottom of this post is taken from my book ‘Mastering the Mental Game of Trading’, shows a diagram which captures the concept of Behavioural Slippage.
The major factors which cause this slippage are often closely connected to the relationship we have between ourselves and our ego.
This highly challenged and often fractured relationship becomes the major source of powerful emotions which distort our ability to remain objective, maintain clarity, and stick to the processes which should produce positive returns.
What we term the problems oftrading, such as; fear of failure, anxiousness, self-doubt, bouts of overconfidence, ill-discipline, impatience, perfectionism, blaming, hesitancy, excessive regrets, nervousness, impulsiveness, and so on, are often at their root connected to this personal/ego relationship.
As such, I tend to see the above problems as merely symptoms, rather than the problems itself.
Sometimes there will be other factors causing the problems, these may environmental or process related, but it is often the issues with the ego relationship which then exacerbates these or gets in the way of trying to resolve these.
It is the failure to really understand in-depth, what our issues and challenges are, and then a failure to seriously address these which keeps so many traders, held-back.
I’m often asked how do you solve these problems as if this issue is a formula where 2 + Y = X and given one parameter you can solve for the other. These issues run deep, they are complex, often hidden, vague, constantly evolving and emergent. They are also ‘Sticky’ very very Sticky. Overcoming these is a big ask and a huge task.
Awareness of these, of how you are impacted by them, and of the corrective actions and measures you can use to fight back are key to sustainable success in trading.
Of course your potential relies on you developing a suitable understanding of markets, the products you trade, markets and having a viable approach to producing profits, but developing these is not that difficult, the difficult part is not allowing the factors that produce your behavioural slippage to disrupt you from achieving the potential.
‘Mastering the Mental Game of Trading’ published last year, brings these matters, in a trading and markets related way to the surface. The book can be purchased in paperback, Audible & Kindle versions at these links: https://t.co/qgH2nVF36z
Our new live learning programme which commences in a couple of weeks time, goes far deeper into these issues, with a peer group of traders, enabling the participants to venture further into these matters, and exploringthem in a way they can make relatable to their own trading challenges. You can find out more at

The highest form of attending to these issues is committing to engaging with a coach. That of course is a very personal decision, and a significant commitment both in terms of time & cost. But the pay-off from this, as I experienced as a trader, and have seen in the people I work with can be huge.
If you do nothing though. Don’t expect anything to change. It won’t!!
