The SHOCKING Reason Traders Can't ESCAPE the Cycle of Losses

Hi, Brian McAvoy here with Inside Out Trading. And today in this video, I want to talk to you about why traders stay stuck for so long. And it's important because a lot of traders, they'll come to me and I'll ask them, you know, how long you been trading? And they're like, oh, four years, three years, five years, eight years, 12 years. And of course the next question, so how's it going through trading? I'm still not making money and I'm still trying and I'm still fighting the same stuff I have been for forever. And the thing is, most of the time when I ask them, so what have you been pursuing? What kind of trainings have you taken? What have you done to try to address this? And they're like, I've tried a lot of different strategies over the years. And so what's funny about it is I do think it's funny because I was there too. We all think when we're at that point it's if I can just find the right strategy. And so we find that we're on this quest and it's like a mission that we're on. We just want to find something that works, that we can rely on and know that it works. And again, it's a quest. It's man, I'm, yeah, I'm out there looking, I'm on YouTube, I'm on the different websites, I'm looking up webinars and the multi speaker events and all this and I'm man, I'm on a quest, I'm going to find that something that works. And it's usually in the form of a strategy. And this quest usually lasts for several years. And I'm not being judgmental, I was on it too. And it just, it's a natural thing. You're sitting there thinking trading is pretty straightforward. I just need to find a decent strategy and be able to stick to it. But yeah, that's how it works, right? No, that's the thing. The magic is not in the strategy. We think that we're on a quest to find a strategy that works. And you know, that we again with something we can rely on. There are plenty of plentiful strategies that have been proven and time tested by hundreds, thousands of traders over decades. They've been around, they work. There are plenty of people making money with them. So the magic is not in the strategy. There are plenty of again, proven strategies around. Here's the true holy grail when it comes to trading and the quest that you're on. You as a trader, you're the holy grail. When you begin focusing on yourself and getting yourself skilled up, you really are the secret, you're at the center of your trading. And when you get skilled up, trading requires a certain level of skills. And when you get skilled up to here, that's really the question you want to be on, is you want to be on this quest to get skilled up to, to learn to develop the skills, to find out what your blind spots are. My first year of trading I was trying to train myself and I didn't know what I was doing. And so what I learned out of that first year, one of the biggest lessons I learned was I was my own limitation. I didn't know what I didn't know and I couldn't see what I couldn't see. And so I was not able to move beyond my own self. And it was only when I looked beyond myself and I got help and some perspectives from outside of myself that I was finally able to move beyond it and turn a corner and get trading working right. And so the same thing is for you, you really want to be on a quest to. Yes. Find out, you know, what it is that you need, what is you're missing, what are your blind spots, what are the limitations that you're not aware of and then you can act on them and get move beyond your own limitations and level up your trading and get it performing the way you want. And that's really cool. Now to help you do this, I created a Trader scorecard. It's a self assessment and just in the questions alone you're going to see what it is that you're missing. And if you want, after you take it, if you want to book a call with me, we can get on, we can get on a zoom call like this or phone call. We talk about what's going on with your trading, what you've run into and you know the best path to move you forward. But the main thing is don't be on a quest chasing a strategy. That's a quest that never ends. Your quest is really in who do you need to become as a trader? What do you need to become that trader that is capable and knows what to do and you have that skill set and you have the knowledge base and you just playing down in your bones that you're solid, you've got a handle on this now, you know what you're doing and you're not fighting your emotions every day. This becomes much like any other job where yeah, you, you know what you're doing. You got a solid handle on it and doesn't matter what the markets do, you've got it. You're good.
