Positive mental attitude. Pre-performance visualizations. Unrelenting application of my system.
These are some of the areas that I constantly practice. These are what make me what I am.
Not trying to be an egotist but I believe that in my realm of momentum trading, nobody in the world is better than I am. I believe in me. It puts me to bed at night, it wakes me up in the morning. This positive thinking prepares me and gives me confidence. Everyday is a new day. Every trade is a new trade and I am only as good as my last one. Forget about it, be it good or bad. I don't project forward fears or joys from the past, I'm not anxious about the future. The now moment is where I do my work. Here and now is the only thing that matters. I never give up. I adapt to changing conditions quickly. I've seen most everything but still have a burning desire to learn more.
During my visualizations, I see what the markets will do today although I don't know exactly when those moves will come. I practice in my minds eye exactly what my responses to those moves will be. Move, counter-move, check , check mate. I am prepared for what comes my way and have a clearly thought out plan ready to implement. I am not surprised at anything the market does because anything is possible. I don't limit myself.
I know my myself, system, edge and platform inside out. Long, short, pullbacks, pops, I know what to do. I am ceaseless in the application of my system. I know this is where success comes from. I have done the same things over and over again 1000's of times.
Human nature predicts probability. I study it. I apply it myself through my system.
I monitor myself and make adjustments in the areas of concentration and alertness. I admit when I need to take a step back and fall back to "the zone". I can put "the zone" on like an overcoat. Nothing but driven focused results follow.
All this I can do and you know what? Anybody who is reading this can do the same. There is nothing different about me physically than you. I choose to be this way and you can too. Hard work, realizations and application can bring you to your top level performance.
First you have to want to do this. With a burning desire you have to what to be the best. You have to want it more than anything you've ever wanted before.
Second you must be willing to pay the price to achieve it. Long hours, hard mental work. Learning about yourself and admitting it may be a real eye opener for some of you. The price you pay for anything great is high. When you don't think like most others you will have to enjoy that feeling that makes you different. Revel in it. Seek it out. You're an individual not a clone.
But also you have to remain humble and grounded. Your real goal here is freedom. Freedom to do what you want, when you want to do it, on your terms. Chew on that for a while. Dream about it. Think about what it would be like to be the successful you in the future. Place yourself there, now. What's stopping you? What obstacles need to be overcome? Develop a plan to put you on that track. Practice with unwavering commitment to move forward everyday. Grow with your little successes. Feed on them. All suffering is caused by desire or attachments. Pare these down and simplify everything in your life. Everything.
Be thankful for what you have and who you are. You can do this. There is not a single reason why you can't if you believe in yourself and choose commitment over slacking off . Erase the words,"I can't" from your vocabulary. Don't say it, don't think it. Replace them with I can, I will.
You have freewill. It's up to you to decide. What's it going to be? Leave me a comment about it...
