A struggling young client asked me recently: “At what point will I be a real trader?”
I told him. “You become a trader, a real trader, once you visualize in your mind that you are a trader and have a very clear picture of being a trader. At that moment, regardless of your education, knowledge, or experience, you are a trader.”
He looked at me doubtfully when I had given my reply. So, I continued. “The only things that will separate you from that picture are the other pictures created in your mind that make you question yourself.”
When you imagine yourself as a trader, you cloak yourself in the suit of a trader. You start eating, walking, and doing the things that traders do because your decision to be a trader will attract all that is necessary for you to become a trader.
If you doubt the power of your own mental imagery, close your eyes for a moment. Clearly visualize that you are confronting a possible trade, but do not know what to do. You feel powerless to pull the trigger. You feel frightened and in the dark about everything that is happening around you. Filled with self-doubt and a lack of confidence, how do you think you will face the next trade when your eyes are wide open?
