Why do half of them begin "I" and the other half with "You"?

Some of those are very counterproductive beliefs for traders, which can only lead to trauma and confusion and failure, if really believed.

For a start "Everything I buy goes up in price" is a disastrous thing to believe. That can only lead to frustration and disappointment and loss of confidence. "I have winning trades and losing trades and that's normal, and I can make a living that way" would be a much healthier belief.

I guess you just found these two lists somewhere and pasted them in here without actually thinking much about them?

Food for thought

1. Open long, this is making high highs

2. Yes, I am in profit, this is going to the sky

3. Shit, this retrace quite hard, I might be wrong, this is going down now, close long (small loss) - open short

4. Shit, I was right with my long from the beginning, this is going to the sky, close short - open long

5. Add one more long position, this is going to retrace, I have seen this before

6. Add one more, I can't be wrong twice

7. Yes, It's retracing, I knew it, add one more position and double so I can recover my losses

8. MARGIN CALL

I like the idea of this thread, but I have studied affirmations a little bit, and it appears you have made some mistakes. Consider reading the attached, simple suggestions, and modifying some of your affirmations. I convert mine into 4 different methods of delivery. 1. Isochronic beta and theta beats hidden inside the sounds of birds singing. 2. A pictorial slideshow with each one written on a related picture and being played with an audio track. 3. A simple text-to-speech audio that loops over and over. 4. Hand written and recited aloud by me. Having them automated allows me to use headphones to limit distractions (if I want to), listen without really paying attention, listen while sleeping, or preserve my voice. Along the same line of thought, I also like listening to audio books while driving, a "drive time university", and while sitting around waiting on trades. I like music too, but much of it is super negative and written to someone else's feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. I often have to unplug from those negative influences, as well as the fake and dramatic news, and the inexhaustible violent and immoral movies and television shows. People learn mostly from copying other people, so we become what we hear and what we see. If I can control that input, I can create my version of myself. What a person can conceive and believe, they can achieve.

Not really. It should reflect trader's knowledge...certainly not random buying and believing:"Everything I buy goes up in price". I hope you understand that much.
I can.I will. End of story.

Imho, a few affirmations, mastered and acted upon are better than a myriad little understood and not internalized.

Remember the key point is that you are planting new seeds in your life. No one knows what makes a seed come alive. When you finally see it break the surface of the ground, most of it is still under the ground. What you see is tiny, but it grows and grows. In its own course of nature it will finally mature and be ready to harvest.

When you started school, you probably could barely read, barely write, and do not know how to solve for "x"... 3x - 2 = 10.

You have not wasted anything. Here is one of my picture affirmations. The secret to success is believing. Believing has nothing to do with winning or losing.
