Moh, a US stock day trader spent years trying to find what works for him…

He’d scan the markets, find active stocks to trade, but was always hovering at breakeven for months at a time.

His technicals were on point, but there was something missing.

Unfazed, he started to build a playbook of all his trades, logging everything he could.

That work paid off. Because Moh uncovered a common theme present in all his good trades, and so, he immediately added a new filter into his screening process.

Once that new filter was implemented he put his foot on the gas…

Now, Moh has turned the corner, breaking personal records for trade P&L, winning streaks and equity curve highs.

Even if you don’t trade stocks, this is a great conversation with a determined trader who would not give up looking for his edge.

If you’re a day trader you’ll love it…

It happens to us all…

A string of losing trades that make you look worse than a random coin flip.

And that stings…

Underperforming a coin doesn’t bode well!

But, it WILL happen and it’s normal.

There are times when every single trade you take will be a loser, and it leaves you wondering how that is even possible?!

There’s a key to this, let’s explore.

In this episode I talk about grading your trades.

Separating your trading setups and strategies into segments gives you a new dimension of flexibility in your trading.

You can:

1) Deploy a more informed dynamic position sizing strategy

2) Stay clear of weaker trade ideas in poor conditions

3) Better allocate focus and screen time

4) Become more confident in your ideas and strategy library

So how do you do it?

Listen to find out my thoughts.

In this episode, I talk about how you can use visualization to improve your trading.

Visualization has been around for decades in the sports world.

From Muhammad Ali to Tiger Woods, athletes have been using it to consistently improve performance for years.

So why not use it in your trading?

• Eliminate rule-breaking behaviour in the heat of the moment
• Imagine the goal of the trader you want to become
• Mentally rehearse specific trading plays and scenarios

If you’ve been trading for a while and aren’t quite where you want to be yet, then this one’s a must listen.

Negative self talk.

As traders, we can be really tough on ourselves.

We are driven, we want to succeed, and know we have it in us.

But sometimes when we make a trading mistake, our self talk can be so negative that it damages any chance to learn or grow.

Perhaps you need to be more disciplined and yes it is very frustrating that sometimes you can't stick to your trading rules.

But harsh negative self talk isn't the answer. (You know this, because you've tried it!)

Be firm, be driven, but learn to accept we are humans, we make mistakes and the goal is not to remove them but reduce and learn from them.

In this episode, I run through a multi-step process for flipping negative self talk.

Perfect for traders who are dancing that fine line between being driven and forgiving of mistakes.

As traders we can all feel uncomfortable at times, and that's not a bad thing.

In this podcast I talk about using your discomfort as a guide.

"The point where you feel discomfort in your trade is the exact area you need to do more work on."
