trading psychology is a lie
do this instead
I probably should make you pay for this email.
But i’m not,
I’m not even entirely sure a lot of you understand this concept yet,
But when understood and worked on, you put yourself and your future in a very desirable place.
So in your case, it might be smart to lock in for 10 minutes and try not to get distracted,
Good?, Good
So, you might have heard of these psychology concepts in trading before
"Control your emotions."
"Stick to your plan."
"Manage your risk."
Pure cope.
I believed this garbage for years.
Bought every course.
Read books on psychology.
Still lost money.
Because they're treating the symptom, not the disease.
The real problem isn't your conscious mind freaking out when you see red candles.
It's your subconscious mind running programs you don't even know exist.
95% of your behavior is habitual.
Subconscious.
Automatic.
Here's a fact,
MIT researchers using brain imaging can predict your trading decisions up to 6 seconds before you're even aware you've made them.
Your brain has already decided to buy or sell while you're still "thinking" about it.
Every self-sabotaging trade.
Every moved stop loss.
Every revenge trade.
All decided by neural circuits you can't access consciously.
In addition to that,
Cambridge research with actual London traders found something worse, during market stress, cortisol levels spike 68%, reducing risk tolerance by 44%.
Exactly when you need to be most rational, your biology makes it neurologically impossible.
So why does this matter to you?
Markets don't care about your feelings.
They care about liquidity.
You know this,
But your subconscious doesn't know that.
It's still operating like you're hunting bears and avoiding tigers.
Risk equals death.
Uncertainty equals danger.
So when you put on a trade, your primitive brain activates every survival mechanism it has.
That's why your hands shake when you're up 2R.
That's why you close winners early and let losers run.
Until you reprogram the subconscious, nothing changes.
I was unprofitable for three years, borderline insane I didn't give up.
Constantly second-guessing myself.
Watching perfect setups unfold without pulling the trigger.
I discovered how to actually rewire my subconscious patterns.
Within six months, I was pulling consistent five-figure months.
Not because I got smarter about markets.
Because I got smarter about my own programming.
The method I used isn't some mystical spell.
It's based on decades of neuroscience research from Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge.
So now here you are on the edge of your seat looking for the answer,
Forget trading, life itself becomes effortless.
Entries become intuitive.
Profit-taking becomes boring.
You might even accidentally bag that chick your sacred to talk to right now,
Because your subconscious is finally aligned with your goals instead of fighting against them.
I found this training (I used) that breaks down the exact neuroscience behind subconscious reprogramming.
It's written by someone who generated over eight figures using these principles.
And if your mentally atomized like a ton of people,
of course it not free, but it will streamline this process for you
