Trading & Psychology (not a stupid course seller)

Short NAS100 yesterday.

Bullish opening, but price swept the Asia high and failed to continue higher.

Not a bearish NAS thesis. Just an intraday liquidity play against the opening direction.

+3R (second short went BE)

Profitable trading is boring.

If it feels exciting, you’re probably not profitable

You’re not the professional but the product

Think about that.

Your brain learns through repetition

Writing things down makes you process them

Journaling helps you with that

Journal after every session to develop your brain

The best traders don’t just collect data

They train their mind.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

Do you watch your trade when you are in drawdown?

If yes, why?

It gets you nothing, only emotions

Make sure you have enough data, and then you know that your system works over time.

Simple.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

If you’re overly excited after a winning trade, you’re chasing dopamine

That’s a dangerous habit

The best traders don’t chase the emotional high of winning

Trading is more boring than most people expect

If you need excitement, you’ll overtrade.

[J trader @jtrader]

You want to win in this game?

Fall in love with taking your stop loss.

Most traders are terrified of it, and that's exactly why they blow up.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

Set your alerts

Look at the charts when your alert goes off

Wait for your entry

Push the button

And enjoy the day. That’s trading.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

Think big when you’re away from the charts

That’s where motivation starts

When you’re trading, think small

Focus only on your process, your rules, and the trade in front of you

The moment you start thinking about the money, your brain becomes emotional

Have a good day.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

The hardest trade to avoid is the one you don’t need

Overtrading happen when you confuse activity with progress

Your brain rewards it with dopamine

It feels like control but it isn’t

The markets pay you only for being patient.

[Trader Theory @tradertheory]

Demo trading teaches you nothing about real pressure.

Live execution with real money is the only education that matters.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

Backtest 6 days a week, just 1 day off the charts

And you will see the power of compounding knowledge.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

What’s the hardest thing in trading? Not psychology btw

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

Trading is just like women

You have to find the right one.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

Be aware all the information there’s about trading on the internet

If you have your edge, don’t chase for a better one

just try to refine it.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

6 life lessons that helped me as a person:

1. It doesn't matter, it's going to be okay

2. I care more about my character than my reputation

3. I’m honest and integer

4. I don't need to convince anyone of anything

5. I share my goal

6. Be the first to humanize an interaction

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

Always be yourself

And never chase for someone else.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

Stages of the mind:

1. Unconsciously incompetent

2. Consciously incompetent

3. Consciously competent

4. Unconsciously competent

Study it.

[Axiom @Axiom_mdj]

The bigger the struggle, the bigger the piece.

Remember that.
