CONCLUSION

Traders who have experienced pain in their childhood on a regular basis are at great risk for finding comfort in pain. This association of pain with comfort makes a trader far more likely to sabotage his trading in order to put him into his comfort zone. Any other loss or pain in his life will bring him into this zone and allow him to stay in it, unwilling to bring success into his life with the discomfort it would create in his world. The best way out of this negative situation for a trader is to either work on his own or with a trained professional to break the association he has with pain, making the experience of pain to be uncomfortable and linking success with comfort, instead. Once a trader has been able to make the change in his associations with pain, like Joe, he will discover that the world of successful trading truly opens up for him for the first time.
