A short testimonial by Nancy (from a Kardec Trader YouTube video) describing how a self-development program helped her address recurring large drawdowns and situational anxiety while trading. She reports noticing shallow, held breathing around trades, credits the program and mentor Randy for helping change her mindset, and says she is now more confident, patient, and aware of mistakes.
In the past. You know, I have been a very successful trader in the last few years. But one of the problems that I was having was that I would have some really big drawdowns after some substantial gains. And since going through the program.
It helped me discover why I was doing it, but not. But also how to go ahead and change that and change my thinking.
Another problem I was having was that right before I get into a trade or right after, I'd start feeling a little anxious and my breathing would become just very shallow, almost to the point where I was just holding my breath. And that's something I didn't even realize I was doing until going through the whole process in the program. And, you know, it's something so minor, but it does have an effect on your training.
The program itself.
It'S not difficult, but it does take time and commitment. And you're going to get out of it what you put into it. You need to have an open mind going through it because it's totally different than anything else out there. But, you know.
Working with Randy, you just work at your own pace. And then you pretty much kept me on track to make sure I understood the whole program.
I think trading is just a really difficult business anyway. And the more you can learn to eliminate any stress or actually reduce any stress and anxiety, the better you are going to be traders. I still make mistakes, but at least now I feel I am more aware of them. I don't beat myself up as much. I don't worry about them as much, and I know what I need to do to fix them. And it's just a matter of shifting your mind and just changing the way you think. And that's kind of what the whole program is about. It's just changing the way you think about trading. I feel now that I'm more confident. I'm definitely more patient in my trading.
And I feel like when I'm trading, I'm much more calm and relaxed, and that's ultimately the state of mind that I want to be trading in all the time.
