🍀 FOMO VS WISDOM (TRADING PSYCHOLOGY)
The state of mind that you have when entering a new position is of extreme importance. This might as well be the most important factor to determine your future success with each individual position/trade.
Let's say you are feeling some anxiety, FOMO. If that's the case, then you absolutely must not take action. If you are feeling scared thinking you are going to miss out, then face your fears right then and there and let it go.
What is the worst that can happen? That something grows 1,000% within three days after you ignored it? So what, things are rising and declining everyday, at all times. So let it go and wait for the right state of mind.
If you approach a pair, a situation, a market, a position with stress, doubt and anxiety; FOMO, and you do decide to take action and buy, then each and every time you interact with this position these are the feelings that you are going to get. Makes sense?
So even if you get the right direction and timing, the fact that you took action on doubt and anxiety will lead to mistakes later down the road. So, let it go.
Instead, develop the right mindset. Develop courage, confidence and strength. The markets can take weeks, months and somethings years to move. Big, juicy opportunities are hard to come by, you have to wait for yours.
The best way to develop confidence, strength, mental stability and security, is through education. Educate yourself, study, learn, read. Read everything I share, every single day. This might be the best investment, even though it is free, you will ever make in your trading journey. Having knowledge of how the markets work will give you the confidence you need to stay strong when the inevitable hard-times, strong swings and shakeouts, do happen. All sorts of market moves are always going to be happening and the only way to live through those is by having a strong mental attitude, a well developed plan.
If you entered your position in a calmed state of mind, feeling peaceful inside, then each and every time you interact with this position these are the feelings you are going to recall. It is an energy. It is a flow. It is a vibration.
If you enter any situation on the anxiety and greed vibration, that is exactly what you are going to get.
If you join through the peace of mind, rest, courage, force of character, strength, tranquility, wealth and wisdom vibration, that is exactly what you are going to get.
What moved you?
What is moving you?
What is trying to move you?
If there is an impulse to "buy now before it is too late," this same impulse will later tell you to sell at the wrong time, in the wrong place.
If there is a knowledge that you need to take action because your plan says so, then this same plan will guide you and tell you how to act in the right moment when the right time comes.
One is the market impulse, the other is wisdom acquired through knowledge and hard-work.
To be successful in your decision making, you first need to do your work. Your work is to be prepared for the bull market that is not happening now but is sure to come.
Never hurry. If you need to hurry, that is the sure sign that something is wrong.
When I am making a deal and people tell me, "You have to act fast, now or never." I immediately say, "Ok, never."
If something is really yours, if something is meant for you, it will never disappear nor go away. Whatever you've earned in this life is yours to keep, you can feel calm and secure in your heart and soul, that you will win next time the market turns... Why? Because we are now together my dear friend.
Thank you for reading.
Namaste.
