    Study Notes

    Goal Setting for Trading Success

    • Trading success depends heavily on psychology and trading skills
    • Some excel at trading but struggle with the psychological aspects, especially in live trading situations (The "X Factor")
    • A goal-setting system, used in basketball, is applicable to trading. This involves three long-term goals and ten short-term goals for each long-term goal
    • Long-term goals, like reaching six figures in a trading account or owning a $10 million house, are often for ten years or more
    • Daily or weekly short-term goals help achieve long-term objectives. Examples include following the trading plan, practicing risk management, reviewing the trading journal, and achieving weekly/monthly profitability
    • Visualizing the path involves mapping out steps and daily actions in a notebook
    • Actively pursuing goals is crucial; they are aspirations until action is taken
    • Deadlines motivate progress toward goals
    • Read and vocalize goals five times daily to reinforce commitment and internalize objectives
    • Use "I Will" or "I Am" statements for a sense of ownership and belief, instead of "I Want"
    • Consistency in reading and vocalizing goals builds discipline, conviction, and helps achieve them using a daily notebook
    • Positive affirmations using "I Am" statements subconsciously program you towards achieving goals

    Notebook for Goals

    • Record and complete daily goals; consider this a daily homework assignment
    • Daily reading and vocalization of goals is required
    • Confidence in sharing goals is a sign of commitment; lack of sharing might indicate insufficient commitment to goals.
    • This is essential for trading success

    Trading Journal

    • Use a notebook as a trading journal.
    • The trading journal is part of a trading bootcamp
    • Track trading activities in the journal
    • More details on the trading journal are addressed during the bootcamp
