What is a trader’s real job?

Managing trades?

Analyzing charts?

Finding the next setup?

Sure, these are all part of it…

But the trader’s real job is managing themselves.

Because the market isn’t what makes you win or lose… your actions and reactions do.

Your ability to stay patient when nothing’s happening.

Your discipline to stick to the plan when emotions are running high.

Your restraint to size correctly even when you feel “sure” about a trade.

All of these decisions that are completely in your control affect the outcome.

Every trade you take is really a test of how well you can control your own behavior.

Your decisions get clearer.

Your results get more consistent.

And trading becomes a lot less stressful.

Here’s to managing yourself,
