so i still like to read about violent crime. so that's still a habit for me. so after i read a news story then i will
listen to Jason BLume. so reading the news becomes a trigger for the behavior of listening to Jason Blume. i only listen to the Melody CD. and only listen for 1-2 minutes. any more than that and you won't be doing the behavior 6 months from now.
this is a screenshot of my itunes. last couple weeks, i've been mainly listening to EX. 2 and using short phrases and sometimes EX.3 from the MElody writing CD
so after i listen to Jason for 1-2 minutes then i go onto my writing software scrivener and work on my writing
here's a screenshot
another one of my habits is looking at the market. now i've been trading for five years now. and i've lost a lot of money and and i didn't realize why until i started listening to Bob Proctor. when i saw Bob Proctor Stickman. then it hit me why i kept losing money. it hit why even though i was losing money i din't want to get out of the trade, praying, hoping the market would turn around.
here's a look at the stickman.
so they reason i kept losing money in the market is because consciously, i knew i should take that loss or i'm gonna lose more and more money; unless you get out of the trade when the market turns against you. but subconsciously I WA EXPECTING TO MAKE MONEY. AND THIS IS WHY 90 PERCENT OF ALL FUTURES/FOREX TRADERS LOSE MONEY. think of it this way. buy 100 powerball and 100 mega million tickets and then throw them away before the drawing. most people will not do that. because they will say "i may win". yes you may, but based on the probabilities you will not. same thing traders. the market turns against them and they say to themselves, it may turn around. yes it may. but if it doesn't you're gonna lose all your money. and that's happen to me multiple times. so i came up with simple process to program my subconscious to take a loss.
so i repeat both of this affirmations more than 200 times a day. some days 1000 or more
i'm gonna lose a lot of money in the trade that i just put on
i expect to lose a lot of money in my current trade
Like Bob proctor says Repetition is the only way to program the subconscious. and that's made a huge difference in my trading.
another not so tiny habit i came up with is before i open up ThinkorSwim to look at the market. i reapeat
one of the above affirmations 100 times. that may sound like a lot but it's the key to doing the behavior of cutting losses.
here's a screenshot of my ThinkorSwim.
