What the... how the hell did you know this was exactly what I needed to see right now?



Thanks for reposting this Lance, absolutely perfect timing... I had watched it before but forgot about it. I've been going over my recent trades, no question it's easy to see all of these behaviours in hindsight. Great stuff... it's Saturday, tequila shots are on me!


Thank you for your comment ..and the Tequila offer ! I'm glad you found the video helpful.

Posting this again for those who may have missed it the first time around. It's a video that really explains in detail, the specific actions I took to overcome the trading mistakes I made for many years. These strategies are the most important steps I took to stop consistently losing.


really like the ECM part going to start adding that to my setup for the morning very simple and easy to do, thanks

Great vid , excellent stuff, you should make more educational videos.
I have also found that talking whilst trading is a yuuuge help. I like the ECM. GOing to try it and see how it works out.

THanks for sharing.

That's really good. Glad it has been helpful. Once you get to a point in your trading where you understand a few things like
1. What trades or setups seem to work out well for me a good part of the time
2. What are the conditions of the market when I tend to get these winning trades
3. Disciplining myself to only trade when those conditions and setups occur

If you find out that...then the only thing that can screw you up is your inability to master your emotions and impulses. Also, failing to properly read the market.
I realized recently..that I most likely have fairly severe ADHD..and have had it since I was a kid. That makes trading way more difficult..because you easily lose focus..and you can lack impulse control. Many of these techniques..like the ECM inventory ..I came up with to counteract my tendencies.
