The ManInBlack is Back

Hi everyone, it's good to be back in the forex game. I'm a totally different person. I have psychological tools I never had before. Gone is the emotional pain I experienced before. I have begun to develop my psychology and I am at the point where I am immersing myself in success programming and a perfect trading mindset.

Trading doesn't take us a long time to become proficient in because we need to understand more about market analysis, it comes late for most because proper trading requires the correct mindset. To have trading an easy and enjoyable experience is my goal. Niceguy and his book really woke me up to this powerful fact, when I was ready. After seeing a movie called thesecret.tv, which I highly recommened you go to and pay 5 bucks to download and watch, I really started applying the right kind of things to my life. I am exercising every day, and working on my own and with others to help reprogrammed my negative belief systems. niceguys book has a lot of good things on this. A popular book on this exact issue is Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas.

I am at the point now where even though I'm just coming back, I feel very different about trading right now. I highly recommened learning about, the law of attraction, subconscious belief systems, etc. Maybe you could benefit from working with a trading coach, pyschology or empowerment coach.

It's not having a positive attitude or discipline, it's actually reprogramming your subconscious mind, removing the programming and drivers you picked up as a child or whenever, and only thinking in the way of truth.

Mark Douglas says, when you start to accept the reality of this unlimited freedom you have in trading, you fully accept responsiblity that its not the market screwing you, its not the fact you havent studied enough about analysis, it's invaribly in your mindset and your subconscious programming.

Good Luck to all!

Did I miss something?

Hi Craig,

What do you mean? It is hard to know what you missed... Maybe this is it...
The reason MIB posted this thread is because he has been away for a while. I would suspect from his writing, he had to work through some issues, before he felt he could start trading again. I applaud his effort and his journey back... I hope that answers your question, otherwise could you be more specific? thanks scott

ManinBlack, I admire you for bouncing back. I had some roguh times of my own in the past two years and I know what it is to have the wrong mindset. Im starting to gain my pizazz back now too. It's good to see people actually addressing their problems as well as their successes, because to me it shows that you are actually determined to bring something back of yourself that has been gone for a while. I give you the best luck my friend.

Thanks smjones, the question was not meant to be ironic. I remeber reading MIB's posts and nothing seemed amiss, I was just wondering what happened.

Yes, I knew that. That is why I asked for clarification, because your post did not sound cynical or ironic... It is refreshing when people put it out there and try to improve themselves... Thanks much, Scott

thx guys!

What happened? Well I was always an emotional wreck on live trades. I was a boom and bust kind of trader, i'd be up, and then down again, and it was just painful to trade. I had no concept whatsoever of what was causing my lack of success or my emotional pain. Thanks to some reprogramming, I can actually look at the chart and feel that this is fun!

I wasn't ready to get this at that time. The same deep things going on inside me that were holding me back in forex were holding me back in real life. I just wasn't connected with myself essentially. This all blew up in my face when I started drinking again, I'm an alcoholic so it was hell for awhile and then I got onto the wagon and recovery was my priority hell staying clean is my #1 priority still probably forever.

Actually these last couple of weeks, doing the work on myself that was contributing to my lack of happiness (classic depressed poet!) I started to have all this energy and feel different about everything thanks to this success reprogramming empowerment kind of thing. I knew it could help me in forex, and I have had a complete revalation.

The most important thing is to note here is, when I was having problems in forex, what really was holding me back was my psychological attitude which was coded for self sabotoge, because you're trying to avoid emotional pain. It wasn't that I wasn't a good analyst or trader or that I didn't have a good system. Also the "male macho I'm so strong I don't need emotions" attitude prevented me from getting this before I had a major breakdown.

Yeah, they say 1 in 10 men 1 in 20 women are alcoholics at a certain stage. While we are talking about ratios, if I drink, it's a 9 in 10 chance im gonna wake up in the hospital, jail (not violent just punk in drublic)or somewhere really sketchy!

That is a set of probabilities I just don't play!

MIB, you da man.

im not talking about Forex nor courses, it looks to me like you got the big wake up call and you answered on all four cylenders and you back with avengance.

Im gonna folow your posts

Lyndon

You've come a long way MIB, congratulations on your success.

Thanks Lyndon, I appreciate your support. You gotta give some things away to keep 'em. (I gotta get my healing ways out to the world to make them complete in my life)

Seriously, this is the only board I have ever joined in my life. It's not a distraction from my trading, the greatest thing humans can do is come together. We aren't competing against each other, directly anyway, we have a synergy that is helping other people get rich when they may not have alone, and thats something I want to be apart of, though i fear many of the flock are astray as I had been :S So I feel not responsible to cure other peoples problems when they can fix themselves, but more than I see people in me, and it's like i'm reaching out to myself.

The more that I change, the more I find my ego dissolving, and the more my heart opens up, the more I place my focus on the truth, which is that we are all one, and we all teach each other lessons.

Spiritually I think thats true, that we are spiritual beings that are having a human experience, and this work im talking about is spiritual at the end of the day. I don't mean religion, I mean love, I mean truth. You don't need any of these things to make money and be rich we all know that. But most of us aren't here for that anyway. We are here because we are passionate about life, and we want to get more money as part of a healthy desire for abundance.

The following is out of "the attractor factor"
----
Years ago, Scrully Blotnick conducted a study of 1,500 people.They were put into two categories: Category A said they would pursue money first and do what they really wanted to do later. Over 1,245 people went into that group. Category B, made up of 255 people, said they would seek their interests first, and trust that money would follow later. What happened?

Twenty years later, there were 101 millionaires from the entire group. Only one came from group A. The remaining 100 millionaires all came from group B, the group that said they would pursue their passions first and let money come later. Right there is another clue on how to attract money. Where is your focus—on money or passion?

Thx Iceberg!

Some just asked me what books I would recommened.

No books in the first step friends. This is within. It is not difficult, you simply need to face up to the truth and take responsiblity for everything in your life. Then it will be easy for you to say to yourself, I want to be the very best I can be, feel the best I can be. Then you are attracted to the books and videos etc that can actually help you the most.

Once you have accepted responsibility 100% for everything and you are starting to open up to the infinite possibilities for transformation in your mind, In order of what I would have you do...

A lot of fun,

Hey I haven't even set up a new account and traded for real again yet lol. But my calls are working out at least.

Thanks for this thread. I am trading the Forex because I am in love with the Forex. It stimulates, captivates and enriches my life. It goes beyond the profit potential. It is a way of living that is in sync with my values and belief systems. Certainly it is a process, and there "dark nights of the Forex soul" that require me to step away and redirect for awhile; but I am always drawn back better equipped to succeed.

Please keep writing. I like the way your mind works. Your thoughts and experience will create a little community of like minded traders using universal principles. We'll have a blast! And those drawn to this thread will, most likely, be interested in enriching the world, not just ourselves.

Thanks again!

Hello MIB, gtrader444 and all others! I just wanted to say that this thread started by MIB is very very very interesting. MIB. I am very grateful to you for sharing your personal experience about your psychological mindset. You are absolutely right. When you decide, in life, to look back in you and take 100% responsability for every one of your actions, you will be well on your way for a very prosperous, successful and meaningfull life.

I really agree that a life without universal spiritual principles is a life without true meaning. For me, universal principles like true love, true friendship, sincere desire to help other people and a genuine mind are all fundamental qualities that are essential for a real personal growth and that will help you reunite yourself with Divine Consciousness one day.

You are abosutely right. If we can understand that our "temporary passage" on this earth from life to life, is a way to improve ourselves to become more an more mature, beautiful in every way and true Human Being, life become more and more easier to live.

MIB, I also want to applaud your for your great courage in sharing your personal painful experiences that you had in the past. I it just showing me that you are a great Soul. Just remember that you are not alone on this earth when you fill depressed as we are, as human being, the one and same big family on the Soul level.

About forex, I truly believe that to be successful in it, we need to be very passionate about it, to love it to death and seeing forex itself as the joy itself and not the money it bring. Getting more and more money is just the natural consequence of a right set of mind and positive attitude. All that can never be achieved as long as we are imprisoned in our gross Ego. The moment we realize that our Ego is the big guy making the trouble in ourselves and that we are truly interested in making every day a deeper and deeper introspection in ourselves, we will start to feel what true freedom means. Forex is just another expression of freedom as when we start succeeding in it, it gives us financial freedom.

MIB, as you were saying, I do really believe that the proper psychological mindset is the most important criteria in our quest for being a very successful forex trader and any success in life.

So, to all people following this thread, I want to say that I am very happy to be part of it and I truly know that if we keep this positive mindset as a community of forex traders, it will not only reward us with great forex results but also, more importantly, true development of our inner growth toward the ultimate purpose of existence which is to go back to our original source.


Wishing to everybody a very very very successful, joyful, loving and prosperous life in every way


With my deep regards

Shreem

very beautiful post shreem, I really appreciate it.

I really would like to expand on these ideas some more... it is a process driven from within, but it's important to be around the right people. I feel that we are forming a group even now, and I have a few ideas on how we can spread the love around the trading community.

I would like to write a book on this eventually...

give me some ideas based on some of the most powerful experiences you've had

its like, we draw on our positive sucess hardwiring programming, so we simply tell our brains to think positively over and over and over, removing the negative things, and BOOM we are reprogrammed but there are many ways to transform and things to help you.

Rock on!
