When it comes to psychology of trading, one of the most important things for you to do to start with is first recognize if you're giving away your power. And here's what I'm talking about. If you're blaming the uncertainty of the markets, if you're blaming your system or your data feed or anything, if you're blaming anything for the results that you're getting, you're giving away your ability to do something about it. Because mentally that puts you in victim mode. But really what you want to do is take responsibility for it and say, yes, I can do something about this. If I'm not getting the results that I want, it's within my power to do something about it. There are a lot of us traders that are making money. You can too. But first thing you got to do is stop blaming. Empower yourself by taking responsibility for your results. And that's the first step.
