1 Conquering the Eight Roadblocks to Successful Trading Mastering your Inner Game Mindful Trading: Learning Peak Performance Trading Presented by Rande Howell, MEd, LPC Author of: Mindful Trading: Mastering Your Emotions and the Inner Game

2 If You Know HOW to Trade, What Stops You From Breaking Through to the Next Level? Where Are You in Your Trading System?

3 The Components of Successful Trading Trading System (Platform) Methodology (risk management) Trading Psychology (State of Mind) Without integration of each component, you are an incomplete trader risk is stacked against you.

4 What Produces Trading Success? The Holy Grail of Trading is not found OUT THERE It is within you, waiting for you to discover it. 80% of trading is in your head The Purpose of This Presentation: How do you develop the mindset of a peak performance trader?

5 What Your Brain Sees When the Untrained Mind Experiences Uncertainty Biological Fear and Psychological Discomfort are not Separated by the Brain and the Psychology that comes from it. You have to re-train the Brain/Mind.

6 What is Emotion? the body/brain/mind s triggering to any disruption to familiar status Components of an emotion (fear) 1. Arousal the body cranking up 2. Feeling - subjective experience of the emotion. Thinking is compromised. 3. Motivation what the emotion is telling you to do (avoid, attack, approach) 4. Meaning (the assumption that becomes wired into your brain as belief) 5. Temperament -- genetics

7 Separating Uncertainty, Worry and Fear Uncertainty nothing can be predicted with absolute certainty only in degrees of probability. Yet your biology and brain are biased to predict with certainty. Worry negative attribution of the future. Your brain is a negative assessment machine. Fear All thought is hijacked. Visceral experience of avoidance.

8 The Mind You Bring to Trading Triggering of Uncertainty and Risk Self Limiting Beliefs: Psychological Organization of Self Approach: New Pattern Creation Avoid: Historical Pattern (Run, Hide, Freeze, Submit) Attack: Historical Pattern Mindful Trading The Goal! Fear Based Trading Impulse Based Trading 90% of Traders Lose Money Here

9 I. The Impact of Emotions on Your Trading The Brain on Fear Until Mastered, Fear Blocks Development of Potential To Develop as a Trader, Fear has to be Confronted to Change Your Established Pattern of Reacting to an Uncertain World

10 The Brain and Mind on Fear Your brain is a negative assessment machine (harmful intent bias) Your brain does not distinguish Uncertainty from Fear It organizes you to avoid uncertainty and fear (comfort zone) Then, it forms self-fulfilling patterns based on the avoidance of fear and uncertainty The patterns go on automatic and dominate your state of mind (you find what you fear). You trade from avoidance or greed rather than from calm impartiality This is the You That Trades. Biology has to be overcome

11 The Roadblocks that Dominate a Trader s Mind: The Thinking You Brought into Trading IS NOT the Thinking That Will Make You Successful 1) Fear of uncertainty (hesitation) 2) Fear of loss (pulling the trigger) 3) Fear of missing out (impulse and exits) 4) Fear-based urgency to make up for prior losses (revenge trading) 5) Fear of not being right (making a mistake) 6) Fear of inadequacy (external validation) 7) Fear of self sabotage (blowing yourself up) 8) Fear of success or failure 9) Fear of Growth and Change (the box of your comfort zone)

12 The Cost of a Fear-Based Mindset What Happens if You Don t Address This? 90% of traders lose money because they do not know how to conquer their fear. Emotional State Emotional Regulation Feedback Loop State of Mind (your thinking) The Reality You Create (profits and losses) Perceptual Map (what you see as possible) The Actions You Take (Your trading) Leaving Your Emotions at the Door is NOT an Option Instead, You can Design which ones Create your Trading Mind

13 You Must Manage the Biology of Emotion Before You Get to the Mind

14 II. Becoming Mindful of our Thoughts: Who is Doing YOUR Trading? (You and Your Thoughts Are Not the Same)

15 Becoming MINDFUL Begins Here If you ignore the internal dialog, a good trading plan is wasted No one escapes the internal dialog Learning to manage the fear-based internal dialog is fundamental to successful, mindful trading Managing and expanding the internal dialog is the essence of a strong psychological trading plan. YOU must become the Author of your Story

16 The Self Limiting Beliefs Behind Your Presenting Fears 1. A sense of Inadequacy I ll never be good enough, smart enough. inadequacy. I can t make mistakes. Mistakes are proof of my 2. A sense of not mattering I only matter based on what I do, not what I am. Self loathing or Arrogance. 3. A sense of being unworthy I have to prove myself by performance to have value. 4. Powerlessness Nothing I do seems to make a difference. I m doomed. Victimhood. Fear Based Thinking Shows Up in Our Mind as Thoughts Our avoidance of them is what keeps us fused to them

17 The Trading Committee of the Fear-Based Internal Dialog The Inner Critic The Adapted Voice The voice that judges you The voice that criticizes Never measuring up Never good enough Tempts (You need more) Predicts Doom Dance of the Internal Dialog The Doubter (I never win) Chicken Little (negative appraisal) Gambler (leave no money on table) Perfectionist (win every time) Entitled One (greed) Con (lying to yourself) Fraud (pretending to look good) Orphan (missing out) Saboteur (Blowing Things Up) Alpha (have to win to prove worth) You are born into these self-limiting beliefs, but that s no reason to stay stuck there.

18 III. Developing the Mind to Become a Successful Trader Managing the Inner Game for Profitable Trading Awakening the Heroes Transforming Your Internal Dialog and Possibility

19 Building a Brain/Mind for Trading The Mind is where a Rivalry of Competitors Struggle for Dominance. This requires a new understanding of the Brain and Mind.

20 The Inner Game: Your Mind as a Committee Meeting Where Your Beliefs Are Traded! Who Controls Your Trading Committee? If you remain mindless, you continue trading from self-limiting beliefs The Internal Dialog controls the story you create about trading Being mindless of the voices on the stage of the self leads to fear-based or impulse-based trading Disrupting the grip of fear opens you to the potential living within you You have the power to reinvent the conversations of the self

21 Changing Self-Limiting Beliefs Most psychological systems change your surface material for short term gain (NLP, general meditation, bio-feedback, etc.) The core material that triggers our primitive patterns of fear must be addressed for long term re-organization of the self. Compassion is the emotion that reorganizes the self for internal validation rather than external validation. Re-building the Committee of the Mind Creates a New Playing Field for Competition. Beating yourself up doesn t work, and continues self-limiting beliefs!

22

23 The Stages of Long Term Change Stage 1 Stage 5 Re-organizing the trading mind Emotional Regulation Peak Performance State of Mind for Trading Stage 2 Mindfulness Stage 4 Developing peak performance elements of self Stage 3 Disrupting the Internal Dialog

24 Who s in Charge of the Organization of Your Trading Mind? With an empowered Mindset, you approach uncertainty from a position of Discipline, Courage, Patience, and Impartiality... rather than Fear. Who is going to populate your trading committee? Rande Howell Traders State of Mind

25 The Mind You Bring to Trading Impulsive Fear Based Mindset 1. The Mind Designed for Trading Emotionally Regulated Calm Focused Mindset Mindless Trading Blind to the Internal Dialog 2. Mindful Trading Command of Internal Dialog Unaware of other Potential Inner Critic as Source of Self Limiting Beliefs Adapted Voice Reacting from Fear or Impulse Loser s State of Mind 3. Sage (impartial) Passion Ruler (discipline) Warrior (courage) Patience Trader s State of Mind
