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

- 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
