Fear Based Trading

Most losing traders trade from a fearful mindset. Their feelings of fear usually revolve around a

scenario where they see themselves failing as traders by losing all their money, their respect,

and repeating other past failures. When I counsel these fearful types of traders it is interesting

that they actually visually see themselves failing before they really ever begin trading. They
also feel they have to prove themselves to their families, friends, society, and trading is how

they are going to do it but see themselves as failing in their presence. This type of fearful

thinking creates stress and leads to emotional fearful based trading. This in turn fuels the fear

that creates additional stress and anxiety and usually leads to manifesting in reality what the
fearful trader was afraid of from the beginning, failure! The trader never gave him or her self a

it is easier to deny it then face it. Unfortunately, it remains forever at this denied "low-level"

always in the "back of your mind." You become comfortable containing or "living with" this
