Emini Coach - Trading Thoughts During A Trade

How important is what we think as Emini Traders? It's equally as important as what we trade and how we trade it. In fact, what we think will affect both the "what" and the "how" of every trade we take.

As a man thinketh.. so he is. In the beginning God spoke the world into existence. Although it isn't written, I'm going to venture that He thought, before He spoke. No doubt many of us could benefit from such a practice.. thinking before speaking.

Emini Coach - 5 Ways To Reduce Trading Stress

Let's face it, Trading can be very stressful. In fact, a certain amount of stress is even normal. From the fight or flight mechanism built into us, to helping us acheive under pressure, our bodes were designed by the Creator to handle stress on a regular basis in small doses.

However, we were not designed to run in "emergency mode", 8 hours a day. Living life on the frantic edge will quickly take its toll not only on Traders, but on mere mortals as well. Left unchecked, excessive stress can result in serious physical as well as mental health problems.

Coaches Corner - Dollar Threshold | Episode #6

What Is A Dollar Threshold? How Can You Overcome It?

For a trader, the Dollar Threshold is a self imposed and quite often, subconscious glass ceiling we place above our income. Our earnings become limited because our thinking is limited. We have to identify exactly which "false belief" is controlling our purse strings.

We all have thoughts and feelings hidden deep in our subconscious. The easiest way to see what is in our subconscious is to look at our results. Our results are the most accurate reflection of the inner workings of our mind.

Over the course of our life and especially as impressionable children, we hear many comments about money and observe the money behavior of the people closest to us. Based on who we are surrounded by, these "thoughts and habits" may negatively influence our beliefs about money and over time they become buried deep in our subconscious.  Our day-to-day experiences then validate these thoughts and beliefs as self fulfilling prophecies, seemingly true and accurate because they inhabit the very root of our belief system.
