How To Stop Wasting Time And Start Winning Trades!

Hi, Brian McAvoy here with Inside Out Trading. Today we're going to talk about something that actually is more important than you can realize. It actually probably is 10 times more important than you might think. And it's easy to let it slip. And here's what I'm talking about. So many traders just. And I was guilty of it myself, I'm not judging anybody, but here's what I'm talking about. So many traders will allow time to pass and they're trading still not up to par, that you're still not making the kind of money that, you know, you should be making. And it's, you know, of course it's frustrating, it's disappointing, all that kind of stuff. But the thing is, you don't understand how much it's actually costing you. And the thing about, you know, getting it working, not focusing on making money, but focusing on getting it working is super important. It really is super important because, you know, okay, so you place features, you make good money. This month. If you haven't figured out what's wrong and fixed it, you know, next month, it's just going to be another crapshoot. You really want to be focusing on getting your trading working and not letting time slip through your hands, just chasing profits. This is huge. It is so easy for months to go by, sometimes years to go by, and you're still in the same spot that you used to be. I know it was true for me. I'd love way too much time pass. And I was actually curious about it. So I surveyed my subscriber list a while back and I asked him, it's like, how, you know, how long had, you know, have you been trading? It was my subscribers, not clients. But through the question that. There were several questions, but one of them was, you know, how long have you been trading? And the average response was 4.6 years. And that was, you know, from the time they started to the time they wound up on my list. And so I had a range. It's like, you know, how happy are you with your trading? You know, I'm killing it. You know, it's okay. It could be better. It sucks. I'm dying over here. So, you know, there was a range. And what I found was even though this decent sized sampling of traders had been trading for over four years, 4.6 years, almost five years, over 80% of them were still not happy with their trading. 80% had let almost five years pass by and they still had, you know, their trading was still not what they wanted it to be. That's huge. That would be like going to college for five years and then not getting your degree. You're sitting there empty handed. It's like, no, that's not what you signed up for. And yeah, I know I'm getting a little emotional about this. It's a big deal and it's. But it's so easy to just kind of let time slip by. It's so easy to, you know, stay distracted with, you know, I just want to start making some money and, and not, you know, turn around and face the, you know, the elephant in the room. And it's like, no, I'm not making money because there's something about my trading that needs fixing. And it's not just chasing a new strategy. That's not what we're talking about. And even if you're a break even, that really is not. That's not okay. Because if you think about it, if you're at break even, you're actually losing ground. Trading is not a passive activity where you're just sending your money over here. You're putting your time in. So if you're a break even, you know, say, dude, you're doing great, you're not losing money, Yay. But you're sitting there saying, oh, I'm a break even, even then you don't. You still need to keep a sense of urgency about getting to your trading where it should be. You need to be getting paid for your time. Your capital needs to be generating a return. And if you're at break even, you're not getting paid for your time. You're not getting paid for your, you know, your capital is not earning money. All the money that you spend on your trading is not showing a return. So even if you're a quote unquote, break even, no, you're actually still losing money. It's still costing you big time to allow your trading to not be where it should be. And so it's super important, seriously that you attend to this now to help you with this. And I don't mean to get you worked up, but it's important, actually I do mean to get you worked up. Because if trading is not really where you want it to be, you do need to be getting after this. Don't let it slip, don't let it slide, don't. No, no, no, no, no. None of that. You want to be addressing this, it will pay you to address it. It's worth it. I mean, one of the worst things you can do is let another year slide by. And your trading is not performing the way you want it to. So, okay, so what can you do about it? I'm not just gonna leave you hanging here. It would be easy enough. Just get your work worked up and then walk away. No, I've created a scorecard, the basically the just in the quits of self assessment for traders. But it'll let you know, okay, what are you missing? What are the things that you're doing or not doing? What? What are the skill sets or things that you're missing that are keeping your trading from performing the way you want it to, from it contributing to your life the way you want it to be. And so, and it's free. Swing by InsideOut Trading.com and at the top of the page there's a link says, you know, trader scorecard. And it'll take you straight to it. But go ahead and take the scorecard. It's a self assessment and it'll let you know, hey, where do I need to focus to get my trading working the way I want? What do I need to do? And get. And let's get after it. Get your trading working the way you want. And I mean, because that's what you signed up for in the first place. Yet you have a reason that you signed up, you know, that you got into the trading, right? Is, you know, because you want to have a good retirement or you want to, you know, know, have a better lifestyle, maybe quit your job. Everybody's got their own reasons. But you did it for a reason. You didn't just do this because you had, you know, no time on your free, time on your hands and nothing to do. No, you're here because you want to make money. You got things you want to do with your life. So let's get on with this. Anyway, I hope this has motivated you to take action and get your trading the way you're working, working the way you want.
