Weekly Trading Psychology 📉🧠
Only 1-3% of traders consistently succeed in the markets. The difference between the 97% who fail and the 3% who win? It’s not strategy. It’s psychology. But here’s what most people get wrong about trading psychology: they think it’s just about controlling emotions. The real secret? Your mind follows your actions, not the other way around. Most struggling traders try to do it in reverse. They want to feel confident first, then take action. They wait until they’re emotionally ready to follow their plan. But confidence doesn’t create action, action creates confidence. You master your psychology by mastering your actions first. When you take disciplined actions consistently, your emotions fall in line. This is how you separate yourself from the 97% who don’t succeed. Here are my trading rules: Rule 1: Only A+ Setups I only enter trades when ALL my confluences (multiple confirmations) align perfectly. If even one signal is missing, I don’t trade. Quality over quantity, always. Rule 2: Trade 9:30-11:00 AM Only This is my workday. No matter what happens after 11 AM, that’s not my business. Unless I’m waiting for a specific event, I’m done at 11. This protects me from emotional overtrading. Rule 3: Maximum 2 Trades Per Day Whether both trades win or both lose, I’m done after two. The longer you sit in front of charts, the more you’ll force trades that aren’t there. 1-2 trades, then I walk away. These rules aren’t about the market, they’re about controlling my actions, which controls my psychology and keeps me successful in the market! Your Action Steps: Don’t just copy my rules. Create your own framework: 1. Identify your optimal trading time - What hours work best for your strategy and schedule? Set that as your workday. 2. Set strict trading limits - How many trades will you take per day? 3. Define your confluences - What specific confirmations must align before you enter? Write them down. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is consistency. When you take disciplined actions day after day, your mind adapts. The psychology follows. Then success is inevitable!
