"The majority of us hide an addiction to the charts behind the word hunger or obsession because it’s easy to sound cool to others"
Anyone can become addicted to trading.
The toughest reality of trading is that at any given moment, we are only experiencing our own beliefs about the market. The market is not aiming to harm or help us, it’s neutral. Our actions are based on the feelings we are addicted to, controlled by, or that we want to create.
If we are seeking excitement, then we take action in the markets that will give us that. The same goes for any other.
The majority of us hide an addiction to the charts behind the word hunger or obsession because it’s easy to sound cool to others.
Strip away the emotional attachment to the market information and you strip away impulsive behavior.
The separation and detachment from the charts are exactly the key to unlocking everything you have been looking for.
Don’t let the market turn into a casino for you.
We can quickly become addicted to the win-and-loss roller coaster, whether we are consciously aware of this or not, it’s the truth. Repeat it to yourself often “I am only taking small controlled losses and high RR trades only.”
Once you create a structure for your trading, you put yourself in the right mindset to take trading seriously as a business and profession.
