CONCLUSION

Every trader’s life comes with its fair share of pain that comes from unforeseen, unavoidable, and inevitable losses and failures. The stories that a trader creates from these negative experiences determine his ability to perform and to follow trading rules. If a trader wants to break through the self-imposed barriers to success, he must learn the skill of letting go of these stories. Listening to negative stories, even the ones that have been buried or hidden from others, and reframing them into positive stories or replacing them with empowering goals are the keys to letting go.

But, the best way to release disempowering stories is to learn to keep them from forming in the first place. Become the non-stick trader who reframes each loss as a learning experience and continue moving forward toward your goals.

The choices you make in your trading and in your life will have an impact on whether you are on the right track toward your goals.
