Read on to find out why most trader fail…. Is this YOU?

You’re not built for trading…FACT..

If you’re currently struggling with your trading and finding it hard to make money in the markets, ask yourself why. Most traders give up because it is far too hard and stressful, FACT….. It is also a FACT that almost all traders don’t know why it is so hard….. Lucky You because “We know why and how to rectify that issue“. The content below is a brief snapshot of why most traders never make it. You are up against it from the start and it is actually not your fault. That’s right it is not your fault at all.

• WE KNOW WHY YOU ARE NOT MAKING IT AS A TRADER!!!

At the moment you are probably at that stage of not quite making it and wondering why?

Don’t hit the panic button I was where you are at the beginning too. The simple fact is that we’re not actually built to be high-quality traders as our brains are just not set up to handle the tough trading psychology that comes with it.

I will show you why and also how to train yourself to handle the subconscious toxic byproducts of trading, this after all is the most common reason people just like you are not making it as a trader.

 

• We’re not programmed to trade it’s not your fault!

Trading is predominantly made up of you making decisions and the way in which you handle the psychology that comes hand in hand with trading. Let’s drill down into the part of your brain which processes and deals with the decisions in trading which makes up the “Psychology” component of your trading.

• What is the reticular formation part of your brain?
• Why does this part of your brain affect you being able to trade the way you want to?
  • This is the part of your mind that responds to outside stimuli.  Looking at trading charts for example.

You are biologically hardwired to react instantly to things you see and you execute a well defined and practiced skill.  Over time, your reactions occur unconsciously and effortlessly.  A perfect example of this is learning to drive; you master the skill from an early age so it becomes automatic. Doing something repetitively over and over makes your brain lazy, which is not always a good thing. In the absence of a filter or set of rules, your brain will skip searching for the best response or solution.  Unfortunately, this response in particular is not always the best solution for traders no matter what your experience level.

Let’s take a look at another example…..

Pilots, doctors, military personal and professional athletes achieve success in their chosen field by continually teaching their reticulation formation centres (part of your brain) what they want to filter out, what they want to allow coming through and how they will react to what they experience.

• So how does this have anything to do with trading? Quite simple, because without a plan, the reticulation formation will allow all charting stimuli to enter into the traders mind.  This data overload paralysis the trader’s brain.

As mentioned previously, this also triggers the amygdala (part of your brain) into selecting a solution which as we have detailed previously is not always the best solution for your trading.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So you can start to see that your poor decisions are not actually your fault a lot of the time because your mind is not programmed to handle the new psychological process. This is because of the role that the amygdala function in your brain, it is not much bigger than a walnut and is in the above picture in blue.

Your challenge is to program your mind to automatically respond in pressure situations and to maintain a coherent emotional state is the key to trading in the Zone.

 

How do you do this? Let’s show you……

 

• Does this vicious cycle look familiar?

You are a very good chance of being one of the 95% of trading that are stuck at Level 2, catching a fleeting glimpse of Level 3

• So how do you move up to the next level and stay there?  You get a glimpse of the next level then bang……your back to Level 2 riding the emotional rollercoaster.

There is an actual science behind why this is happening to you and it is important that you realize the cycle which you are tangled in at the moment. Let’s show you why…….

• Is there a precise science behind your trading success?

There is absolutely a science behind why you are struggling at the moment and as we discussed earlier it is not your fault, that’s the way you were built.

So your asking could it really be a physiological event occurring that’s making you trade so poorly?

If you have been stuck at Level 2 on your competence ladder then the following information will resonate with you and hopefully enlighten you as to what is holding you back.

So let’s take you back down memory lane to school….we need to do a quick lesson in Neural Anthropology…… no talking in class!!!

“The human brain has adapted over many centuries by providing processes that improve the survival of the individual and the species.  A part of our brain, the amygdala, acts as our protective filter, it has the ability to remember painful experiences and attaches emotions to those experiences.  It makes judgments about likes and dislikes and passes its prejudices to the outer part of the brain.”

This is exactly why YOU, in the course of learning to trade, will make errors that are unavoidable when learning a new skill.  You automatically assign pain or a negative emotion to trading outcomes.  You may not remember the details of those painful or negative experiences, but a part of your brain does. That part of your brain (the amygdala) stores details about EVERYTHING that ever hurt you and it tries to avoid those things in the future. The amygdala is a pattern recognition device. It is the size of a walnut as you have seen in the picture and it has the ability to recognize 20,000 faces….or chart patterns.

So you can see it’s not your fault you are making poor decisions in your trading it is all automatic and happening before you actually know it. How to you fix it??
