WHY ARE WE REALLY TRADING?
When you dig deeper and really analyze what is going on, you might find that the real reason you are trading is to “get rich quick”.
Think about that for a second.
What are some clues that your actions might be revealing the real reason you are trading?
- Jumping from one thing to the next, never staying with the first long enough to actually provide a return.
- You jump because the first thing didn’t make you rich quickly.
- No long-term trading plan where you lay out your goals, risk tolerance levels, and specific steps on how to reach those goals.
- The slightest drawdowns send you running for the hills and looking for the “no risk” strategy.
- Your losses are everyone else’s fault.
- During times that trading goes well, you think it is the best thing since sliced bread or pizza.
- You think Knowledge is cheap and over-rated.
- Your emotions and gut feelings play a bigger role in your trading decisions than the rules of the strategy.
Here is the cold hard truth.
You are not going to reach your trading goals unless you follow a step by step plan that addresses every aspect of the trading process.
But you know why most traders don’t trade according to a solid trading plan?
Because it doesn’t sell.
If traders aren’t buying it, marketers aren’t selling it.
You are fooling yourself if you think you can do the same thing as 95% of all traders and have a different outcome.
And that is the Truth About Trading.
