Most traders don’t realize they’re not only chasing profits.

They’re chasing an image.

Polished. Powerful. In control — the alpha.

It looks like strength. But it’s a mask.

And behind that mask?

A voice that says: “Don’t show weakness.” “Don’t mess this up.” “Fix it. Now.”

In today’s post:

  • How the alpha mindset jeopardises your trading.

  • How the voice in your head was shaped long before you opened a chart.

  • A new way to shift your self-talk and transform the inner narrative affecting your performance.

Let’s begin where the mask was first put on.
