Step #1: Wait
When you start trading, it’s not a race to jump in on any trade you can find, especially without any rules in place!
No!
In fact, it’s the opposite.
You need to develop a robust system with strict criteria before you even think of venturing into the trade.
If you’re yet to find that elusive winning system then, I have the perfect one for you! But more on that in a minute.
After you’ve found your winning system, you’ll have to wait for it to line up.
Step #2 Act
After waiting patiently for the system to line up, don’t hesitate to get into your trade!
This is the difficult part, where human nature tends to take over!
You see, there’ll be times where you start doubting yourself and your winning system.
You might see other external and confusing factors trying to influence your decisions when trading, which could stop you from getting into your trade.
So follow your strategy no matter what and, in the medium to long run, you’ll make great profits!
Whenever you feel like the system is wrong, I want you to keep these words in mind.
If you follow your system to the T, then congratulations, you’ve qualified to move on to the final step!
However, if you’re not following step two then, here’s two things you can do.
The first is to change the system to suit your appetite for risk and your trading personality.
Secondly, read a few books on the psychology of trading, so you can mentally prepare yourself to take every trade; your system signals you to.
It’s absolutely crucial to take every trading signal because, it will make you a profitable trader!
Step #3 Reward yourself!
Now I don’t mean reward yourself with only the profits you’ve made, but something more important.
I want you to reward yourself by patting yourself on the back and be proud that you followed your strategy exactly as you should have!
Whether it’s a profit or a loss, it doesn’t matter because it’s not about the one trade as I’ve said before; it’s about the countless trades later!
