The Contrast Between Real Life and Trading
Why Is It Taking You So Long...?
Trading is undeniably hard. Not for the technical part but for the human part. There are tons of human biases that get in the way of our journey to becoming successful traders.
On top of that, society has shaped us in ways that don't align with the demands of trading. From our early school years, we were taught to fear mistakes and believe there's only one right answer. Memorization is the measure of intelligence in our poor education system. That doesn't quite fit the real world and much less the trading world.
These truths (or rather untruths) become deeply ingrained in our minds during childhood and adolescence, and we carry them with us into adulthood, subconsciously. Many, only become aware of the need to change because of trading.
There's a clear contrast between how we naturally operate and what trading success requires. Today, I want to walk you through the biggest contrasts that represent mindset shifts you need to achieve in order to succeed at this skill.
