4 Critical Goal Setting Tips For Emini Futures Trading
One of the most common characteristics you will find among highly successful traders is they are extremely goal-oriented. In all walks of life, people are the most effective, happy and not surprisingly the most healthy both physically and mentally, when they have clearly established goals. From the small and mundane tasks such as cleaning your desk, to more important life issues ranging from child rearing to estate planning, knowing that you not only have a goal but that you are making steady progress towards that goal, creates a state of mental clarity, a sense of purpose and destiny, and is reported to even put a spring in your step and a kind word on your lips.
That's the good news. The flip side of the coin is that poorly planned goals can have the complete opposite effect. Once we firmly establish a specific goal our subconscious kicks in gear to get 'er done. This has nothing to do with will power it's simply the way we are wired. While establishing and pursuing goals can lead to a higher quality of life, unless they are structured properly they can also lead to depression and an overwhelming sense of failure. So before we start flipping those switches and the synapses start firing let's clarify some sound and solid principles that will become the foundational structure of every goal we set both in our Emini Trading business and other areas of our life as well.
