1/5

I’ve spent the past year coaching traders one-on-one.

It's changed everything I thought I knew about why traders fail.

Most think it's lack of discipline or strategy.

But, interestingly, I discovered something much deeper.

It begins with what they "think" they want...

Does Money buy happiness? (no wrong answer)

If so, how much specifically = happiness?

If not, what are you trading for?

[Shōgun Capital | Performance Coach @Shogun4X]

Most emotional trading issues that lead to blow ups begin with bad position sizing.

Which trading book or video changed your trading the most?

[Shōgun Capital | Performance Coach @Shogun4X]

@SellingRips People need to stop giving their money to educators teaching strategies. Legit high level professional traders are already sharing for free.

They should Invest instead in their behavioural and mental frameworks , so they can act properly with risk in the markets.

If your edge only works in demo, it’s not an edge.

It’s a fantasy.

@karaoke_andi Situational Analysis would be better ;)

There are 2 types of trader:

Those who have had devastating losses,

and those who will.

[Shōgun Capital | Performance Coach @Shogun4X]

This:

- Journal the process, not the trade.

- Map the pattern of your compulsive behaviours (by recording screen)

- to identify triggers (heat behind ears)

- Rehearse pattern interrupts (visualisation) in advance.

- Shift your perspective: Focus on YOU not the market.

Great question!

A few habits that really helped me shift gears:

1️⃣ I started journaling every single trade with a focus on how I felt during the setup, execution, and exit. I recorded my screen every day, and if something stood out, whether it was a mistake or a great play, I would write down the exact time so I could rewatch it later with a clear mind. That habit helped me catch patterns I was blind to in the moment and made my journaling way more meaningful.

2️⃣ I learned to recognize the early signs of tilt before it got dangerous. For me, it was heat behind my ears. That was the signal. The second I felt it, I would close out of any open trades immediately and walk away from my station. That simple rule protected me from some of my worst impulses.

3️⃣ My morning routine became centered around meditation and visualization. I would sit quietly and walk myself through past trades where I stayed calm and executed with precision. I would replay those moments in my mind and tap into that same feeling to start the day on the right frequency and vibration (sorry if this loses some of you, but this is what works for me).

4️⃣ I stopped chasing perfect trades and started focusing on consistent process. I let go of the idea that I had to win every setup and instead put my energy into showing up with discipline and MANAGING my own emotional state. Once I made that mental shift, everything started to improve.

Trading finally started to click when I stopped trying to control the market and started learning how to manage myself in the worst and best of times ✅

If someone posts more payouts than lessons,

you’re not being mentored — you’re being marketed to.

[Shōgun Capital | Performance Coach @Shogun4X]

If you crave validation, you’ll trade for approval — not results.

[Shōgun Capital | Performance Coach @Shogun4X]

Confidence is loud.

Composure is silent.

[Shōgun Capital | Performance Coach @Shogun4X]

Most traders aren’t undercapitalized.
They’re underprepared.

[Shōgun Capital | Performance Coach @Shogun4X]

Here's one approach (definitely not the only way..)

Budget for a few attempts. The normal variance of winning and losing streaks will inevitably mean you may breach drawdown limits

So if you can only afford a single 200k account, better to work on 50k accounts first and know you have budget for 4 attempts.

(first payout at 2% profit would cover all your investment)

risk 1% or less until you get a 2% or more buffer. then risk the 2% to make it over the line.

Worst case you're back to break even.

Best case you get funded quick and then you can dial down risk and trade normally.

Or if you don't care about how long it takes, just take your Max losing streak for your system, divide it into the draw down limit, and that gives you your position size.
