This Market Mamas episode is for all our growing day traders and high achievers out there. The reality is, we have got to prioritize and stay cognizant of how we show up as our personal trading coaches every trading session and every day. As developing traders, we have to expect many “failures” to help teach us as we grow! A failure is simply feedback that what you tried in a given situation was less than ideal and you should study a better way to approach it when that setup presents itself again. If failures are meant to be teachers, we then have to shut down the unhelpful emotions, such as regret, anger or depression, so that we can in fact accept the lessons! This is such a critical psychological lesson for us all to really hear and internalize. We can be strong, positive, productive trading coaches to ourselves if we so choose to manage ourselves that way and the value from this approach is incredibly powerful and truly essential! Ideally, we allow our trading journey to be full of excitement, learning, little victories mixed with the lesson days, and graceful anticipation for what the challenges of each new level will present. Join us in the conversation of this episode. Our best trading days are ahead!

The psychology part of trading is a major requirement to work through when elevating to greatness. It is truly critical to success and perseverance as a trader, or in any really challenging pursuit. Focused and robust positive self-talk is key. There is power in reviewing your strength, skill, faith, and progress daily to keep your head in the game. Allow us to help you with this self-talk work!
