Do you want To Make Way More Money Trading Then You Currently Are?

If you answered yes,  then Get Out Of Your Own F**king Way!!!

Sorry if that offends you and double sorry for those of the fairer sex but… 

This info really can mean the difference between being in the 10% group of traders who make money and the 90% who wish they were making money.  For this reason I wanted to make absolutely certain I grabbed hold of your ear.

I have been coaching traders since 2000 and every few months I get an email like this.

"Jeff,  Your program does not work, I want my money back.".  

I then write back and say I would be happy to, but since you left no details, let me see if I can pinpoint where the problem is.  I then ask them a few basic questions like,

"Did you place your stops in the areas I mentioned?"

"Did you have a clear-cut setup in place?"

And here is the typical reply.

"Well I didn't really place my stops because I thought I would just wait and see what the market does next. 

Then they said, "as far as the targets I really didn't use them as I got nervous and bailed out after I was up a few dollars. "

In answer to the final question I would get something like… "Well…  Sometimes yes, but other times I was getting a little bored and decided to jump the gun a bit".   Sometimes they would say, "well I deicided to to throw this other indicator into your system".

I then said, listen I am still ok with you getting a refund, but please do me this one small favor and show me some of the trades you took.

I then did the math again applying the rules properly and they went from being a loser to earning some nice profits.  Once they saw this, I could hear the 'penny drop' and a long "oohhhh" over the internet.

I said,  "no method is perfect, but in this case you beat yourself.  Instead of following the rules, you changed a winning strategy into a losing one. 

I then said the simple truth is my strategy didn't fail you, you failed you!"

And this my amigos, is what I see all the time.  I now know after working with thousands of traders that the markets don't beat traders, rather  90% of the time traders beat themselves.

So the next time you go buy any ebook, video program or attend a seminar and it doesn't SEEM to work, see if anything I say rings a bell.  I can tell you from personal experience that I have dug up old trading books and startegies that I thought were useless 10-15 years ago and now can make them work.  Why, because after careful examination, I realized much of the time I was simply sabatoging myself.

This is a huge topic and I will write a follow up article soon…
