a team player who relies on the whole team to win. Individual athletes have developed a tough

mindset that performs well under pressure, just like the "Trader's Mindset" that we teach in

our home study course APPLIED REALITY TRADING or "ART" for short.

Good “Day Traders” do not look for "holy grail" trading system! Instead they focus on their

EDGE just like an athlete focuses on their EDGE in sports. A tennis player with an excellent back

hand relies on that back hand to win. A trader with an excellent trade set up relies on that set

up to win. Once you have your "secret" edge, the hard work of staying out of the market until
the proper time and controlling your emotions while trading is key. You also must be

disciplined in NOT being sucked into a trade based on the markets seductive

environment. Only trade when your EDGE says too!

Like an athlete, a trader will have both good days and bad days. On the bad days, it is usually

because you head is really not in the game of trading or you are tired, or have other stuff on

your mind. Just like when you have a bad game of tennis or golf, it usually is because you head
was just not in the game that day. IT IS NOT because you need some additional skill or a new

trading system! This of course is assuming your trading is generally consistently profitable and

you just had a bad day. The best thing to do if you do not feel like trading is DON'T TRADE that

day or week. Instead take time off, and when you’re ready get back in the game. You will feel

refreshed and ready to win!

One of the great things about our home study course APPLIED REALITY TRADING, is that your

personality and beliefs determine which trading signals and stops to use. This helps you to

develop your own PERSONAL EDGE and you are not just learning to system trade. At our
Tutorial for those students of "ART" we actually show you how to integrate your personality

into your trading and we also actually show you how we use "ART" to give us our edge and how

you can mix and match trading signals that can give you your trading edge, which in most cases
will be different from ours.

That is your goal in trading, find your edge, and align that edge with your personality for a

winning game!
