How to Get Your Mind Ready for Trading Success!

Hi, Brian McAvoy here with Inside Out Trading. Today we're going to talk about, actually, one of my. One of my favorite things. Just because if you're fascinated by this world that we live in, this is. We're going to be touching on this. And what I'm talking about here, and this has everything to do with trading, if you think about, is so critical that we get our subconscious aligned with what we're doing with our trading, if you think about it, as we go through our daily lives and we're just. We're operating from our conscious awareness and we're just attending to the things that need to be attended to. We got our responsibilities, got our job, got our family, take care of all that kind of stuff. But it's cool because if you think about it, there's a part of you, your subconscious, and especially in your body that is just insanely amazing as what it can do. If you think about it, the intelligence that's running below your conscious awareness is incredible. It allows you to take food, you can pick up an apple and you can eat it and digest it. And your body, the intelligence that's there, knows how to process and take the stuff out of the apple and convert it into what your body needs and then to take the waste out of your body and eliminate it. And your movement and all the things that are going on that you're not even aware of, your breathing, your heart rate, you're maintaining the chemicals that you need in your body or any kind of cell damage that occurs and the repair of it, the replacement of dying cells and all that kind of stuff. And if you think about it, then, like on a cellular level and even a systemic level, the intelligence that is running this constantly, all day long is absolutely amazing. Not to mention the other stuff that is just insane. We can walk around the fact that your body, you can just. You don't even have to think about it. You can just like, oh, I'm hungry. So you stand up, you walk into the. The kitchen, you get yourself some food, maybe warm it up, maybe you cook or something like that. But all the movements that your body takes care of, the spatial awareness, just being aware of where you are, not walking into things, not having to constantly watch out for everything. It's like you can just move freely because subconsciously you're aware of your entire home or your office or wherever you are. You don't even have to think about it subconsciously. It's dealing with so many things every second of every day. And it is absolutely amazing. And in. Even when we're sitting there with our trading or the things that we're doing. Turn on our computer laptop. You've got all our monitors going. We're looking at our charts and we're looking at everything. And even, even though our eyes are looking at this and this is what we're consciously paying attention to in the peripheral vision, we're picking up all kinds of other details, other information or other senses. We're taking it in, but we're looking at the charts and our indicators and, and the price action and the candles and all that kind of stuff. And we're taking this information in. And consciously we've got certain stuff going on, but it's only. If everybody says 5%, it's probably less than that. There's so much stuff, almost so much processing and interpretation and evaluation and drawing conclusions and filtering that's going on at a level below the conscious. It's absolutely incredible. It just, it has blown me away forever, especially when I got into engineering. And it's. If you think about what's going on, just, even the. Just the physical aspect of the human body, the insane detail and just superb elegant design and then the intelligence that's running it all the time, it's just amazing. So anyway, what's that got to do with trading? Like I said, there's so much that's going on with you at any given time subconsciously, that it is crucial that we have our subconscious aligned with our conscious goals and intentions with our trading. And if they're not, we need to pay attention to them, pay attention to the signs like emotional discomfort. Maybe our emotions are flaring up telling us we're outside our comfort zones. Maybe something's missing. Maybe we're working with a strategy that really, it's not quite aligned with who we are consciously and subconsciously. And so if we're trying to trade with a strategy that isn't really a good fit for you, if you're trying, if you're working with that subconsciously, there's going to be a bit of an internal conflict that's going to create issues very likely. And so it's super important that we're working with a strategy that really is a really good fit for us. Now, how do you know if. If you're working with a strategy and you kind of like it, you're having some difficulties with your trading. How do you know if. Okay, is it really a good fit? Or maybe is there something I need to do? Look for something a little different. So how do you know? I created a guide called the Perfect Trading Strategy Guide. And it's nine criteria for you to evaluate any strategy that you're looking at to make sure that it is going to be a good fit for you that aligns consciously with your goals. But this is also how, if it meets all these criteria, that means it's also very likely to be aligned with you subconsciously. So you don't have any conflicts. You're not as likely to sabotage yourself. See, the problem is when our conscious goals and our conscious actions are out of alignment with our subconscious, that's when we run into self sabotage. Now sometimes self sabotage is occurring because at some level below our awareness, we're missing some things with our trading and with our training, with our abilities, with our skills, with our knowledge. And so subconsciously, at some level we know that. And that's part of why we sabotage, sabotage ourselves. When we hit good success, it's like our subconscious says, no, you're not there yet because you're still missing stuff. It's handing it back. So we got that subconscious aspect to deal with. But even just as a good starting point strategy guide, swing by inside out trading.com it's free and you can get instant access to it. Check your strategy against it. Make sure you know it does meet all the criteria so it is a good fit for you. And if not, cool, you can go look around. And now you've got a way to evaluate any strategy that you might look at. You run across something sounds like.
