{quote} Glad you liked it. These quotes inspire me to remain focused and motivated. Sometimes, I think these one liner quotes teach you more than reading a whole book about trading psychology. Here are some trading related quotes from my favorite traders, Enjoy: I just worry when people start wandering down the road that involves skipping the simple things that they can successfully implement for the complex things that are significantly harder to translate into positive account movements. Can trading psych help some people improve their results?...
"I just worry when people start wandering down the road that involves skipping the simple things that they can successfully implement for the complex things that are significantly harder to translate into positive account movements. Can trading psych help some people improve their results? Sure. But it's like a pair of new golf gloves - if you cant hit the damn ball, new gloves aren't going to magically make you Tiger Woods."


I agree people often try and skip the boring,difficult and basic things and want to jump to the more
advanced stuff and wonder why it does not look like the guy that did his homework the RIGHT way


"You have to know your setups and their probabilities. Then, once you see them you must act with
conviction and without hesitation."


And so also know yourself and the situation and knowing that you have been here before and know that you have previously managed to come out on top




"The hard work in trading comes in the preparation. The actual process of trading, however, should be
effortless."


True masterser of any dicepline spends more time preparing and studying then actually involved in the
action so your did ions then are not based on a spur of the moment feeling but a wide base of useful
information and preparation






"Every time I read a "market" related news. The first thing that comes into my mind is "why would anyone
want me to know this?"

LOL

Thanks again

" What four psychological techniques did the government use to increase Navy SEAL passing rates? "

Ever since reading The Warrior Elite: The Forging of SEAL Class 228 I’ve been interested in Navy SEAL training, particularly the psychological aspects.
In his blog at Psychology Today, Bakari Akil covers a History channel documentary The Brain and what it revealed about the four techniques the Navy used to increase passing rates in the elite SEAL program:

  1. Goal Setting

“With goal setting the recruits were taught to set goals in extremely short chunks. For instance, one former Navy Seal discussed how he set goals such as making it to lunch, then dinner.”

  1. Mental Rehearsal

“With mental rehearsal they were taught to visualize themselves succeeding in their activities and going through the motions.”

  1. Self Talk

“As far as self talk is concerned, the experts in The Braindocumentary made the claim that we say 300 to 1000 words to ourselves a minute. By instructing the recruits to speak positively to themselves they could learn how to “override fears” resulting from the amygdala, a primal part of the brain that helps us deal with anxiety.”

  1. Arousal Control

“And finally, with arousal control the recruits were taught how to breathe to help mitigate the crippling emotions and fears that some of their tasks encouraged.”
How successful were these techniques?
This very simple four step process increased their passing rates from 25 percent to 33 percent, which is excellent in a rigorous program as theirs. It demonstrates that achieving success doesn’t always have to be a complex process. A few minor additions and tweaks may be all that is needed.

Here are quotes from successful traders, whom I admire and follow closely. I get lot of inspiration from reading these. Thought I would share these in this blog. Most people like to be smart and show how good they are at catching the top or bottom. I LIKE MAKING MONEY. We all have the same tools, the only difference is I keep my emotions under control, NO MATTER WHAT, if I get excited or feel anything about what is on my screen then, I am not IN CONTROL. At this level, trading is just a thing and I know that I am going to have wins and losses and...
I had to repeat each and every line. Made my mind go blank and was speechless for sometime.
Good post . I really appreciate your kind thoughts to share this with us. Thanks a ton.

Very Good

Life is full of choices, if we consciously dictate the beneficial choice to our personal agendas, in line with our goals, we actively create a path we feel good walking on. Without this conscious exercise our subconscious will automatically make these decisions for us which will leave us with what we have always had, alas our sub conscious is a trained monkey,reacting only to what is familiar and "safe", like a coded robot, leaving us only with a pre defined and already explored path. Only our conscious can dictate new roads and explore the unfamiliar.

I will have to google this fella.

Thank you

VERY GOOD, Thank You so much bassramy! This guy is inspirational, I already put him on my Blogger Reading LIST I love his analogy btw Bob the builder and Napolian Hill -
Napoleon Hill said “think positive.” Tell yourself you can do it. Like saying, “I will make a million dollars.” It’s The Secret all over again.
But Bob The Builder doesn’t make a statement. He asks kids a question: “Can we build this?”

This is soo true....questions are powerful. It makes you realistically consider the problem.

Hi Hong, very well said...I totally agree with you. I feel by asking the right questions and come up with the decent answers are so important to improve anything that we do....
take Elon Musk, one of the most inspirational entrepreneur as an example, he launched his space transport company Space X by asking this question - What are the things that need to happen in order for the future to be an exciting and inspiring one?”

The link above http://www.bakadesuyo.com/ provided by bassramy is very strategic and also recommend anyone to ask themselves questions if they want to improve, so do check it out

Definitely agree about asking the right questions, otherwise how can we find the right answers?
