Dating the Stock Market
10 Key Mindsets You Need to Excel as a Trader

Dating the Stock Market details 10 areas which I learned about and improved as I progressed towards becoming a consistently successful stock trader.

The Book - Dating the Stock Market

Stock trading seems so simple. Find a stock, click buy and wait. Later, click sell and money is deposited into your trading account. Perhaps you do this a few more times with success. With each win you become more convinced that you are in sync with the market, never realizing that you just got lucky. Then one day, when you least expect it, the eventual loss comes followed by another and before you know it you have given all your winnings back, and then some. What once seemed simple is now frustratingly difficult.

Are you tired of giving your hard-earned money to other traders? Have you asked yourself, why can't I figure this out? Do you want to take your trading to the next level?

In Dating the Stock Market - 10 Key Mindsets You Need to Excel as a Trader, you will learn that your mindset towards the markets and yourself can make all the difference to your success. This is useful information as you cannot change the markets, you can only change your interaction with the market. Once you realize that the gap between losing and making money in the financial markets is within your control, you have taken a step towards becoming a consistently successful trader.

Your job, as a trader, is to become a consistently successful trader. To do that you need to work with the market, not against it. You must ensure a loss from one trade does not contribute to further losses. You need to develop a winner's mindset and improve your trading psychology.

You also need to understand that you will have losses, no matter how good you are. You can make a lot of money from a system which is wins 50% of the time. However, as detailed in the book, over 200 trades you will likely experience a string of 3 losses trades in a row about 11 times while you will see a string of 5 losses in a row about 3 times. Can you handle that? 

Testimonial

“The single most powerful lesson I have learned in 25 years of coaching small business owners is that STRUCTURE is the key to consistently high performance. It’s true in athletics. Amateur athletes are all over the map with their practices and results; elite athletes measure everything and stick to a proven routine. It is true in the military. How do you get from the infantry to being an officer? Add structure. How do you get from being an officer to the elite forces? Add more structure. I have coached thousands of small business owners and those who follow my proven structure get breakthrough results. The same is definitely true in trading. Mark has developed a proven and reliable structure for maximizing his trading results. Don’t be an amateur! The information in Dating the Stock Market will empower you make critical changes to help improve your trading.”
