Emini Futures | The Mind Of A Trader
June 1, 2012 at 10:20 PM (QQQ)(DIA)(SPY)(GLD)(SLV)
Those who trade for a living or are about to switch careers soon, come to realize that emotions can be a huge influence on bottom line success. Some would even say it’s as much as 90% of the trading mindset.
You may have money in an account somewhere (Daniels Trading), you may have a state of the art platform (dtPro), you may even own the finest proprietary Emini Indicators in this galaxy (CFRN), but unless you fully embrace the first paragraph of this post, you my friend are hopelessly lost. (I wanted to say doomed but that seemed a bit dark) So what else could a trader possibly need? So glad you asked...
The Mind Of A Trader
Each individual brings to the table a plethora of emotional baggage based on beliefs, values, and past experiences. Whether they‘re good or bad ones trading will dish them all out and impact each part of the trade.
On top of all that, our human conditioning over time establishes how we feel about being right and wrong, winning verses losing and success verses failure. Unknowingly they sometimes get instilled in our mind in the form of “Blocks”.
Blocks can inhibit our ability to be in control. What is a “Block”?
Blocks can come from many different past experiences and if strong enough have a tendency to influence each and every part of the trade. They also are not isolated to new traders but can appear at ANY time during a traders career.
How does one insure that they posses the Mind of a Trader?
A great place to start is with this very simple TEST
S&P 500 Emini Futures
Here we go again. The market just keeps doing what the market does, our system keeps grinding out trade set-ups and I keep reporting the results. If this sounds like a sales pitch grab a Q-tip. What you need to hear and see is that my goal is to show you that there is no boogeyman. I'll write more on this topic tomorrow.
Suffice it to say there are many places where you can buy systems, indicators, and prophetic messages. Our goal is to help you understand How the Market Works. I'm about to show you once again how it works. It may appear that I'm attempting to simply prove to you that our "Emini System" works, but if you know me, you know how much I detest that term. Why? Nothing works all the time yet everything works some of the time. There is however, one huge exception - THE MARKET
The market always works. Never calls in sick, never complains, never asks for a vacation or time off, other than federal holidays. If you've ever owned a business, ran your own HR Dept., had to make a Payroll, or be stunned by Payroll Taxes, then you know exactly what I mean. Despite its ups and downs the fact that the market fearlessly "shows up" for work everyday no matter what, makes me not want to employ it, or beat it, I want to partner with it. Sure, business partners have their differences, in fact when two men in business agree on everything one of them isn't necessary. Ponder that...
Change your thinking, change your life. Change your life, change the world. DR
Lot's of systems work, but until you understand how the market works, your chance of success using any system from Gann to Fibonacci to Elliot Wave is at best a remote possibility. As you observe the charts below, forget that we even have a system.
I'm simply showing you the market at work...
