@SJosephBurns Research doesn't guarantee a winning trade.
It simply improves the quality of your decision-making.
You can do everything right and still take a loss.
The more you care about making money on a trade, the worse you perform.
Unprofitable traders always focus on the outcome.
They want to make as much money as possible, in the shortest amount of time, with the least amount of effort.
But when every trade becomes about being right, you start forcing things. You become more emotional, and thatโs where bad decisions come from.
Profitable traders think differently.
Of course they want to make money, but thatโs not what they measure the day on.
They donโt end the day stressing over whether they finished green or not.
They judge themselves by how well they executed:
โDid I follow my plan?โ
โDid I improve from yesterday?โ
โWhat can I do better next time?โ
Focus on how you can become a better trader every day. The money will follow.
