Introduction to the winning mentality

-
Having a winning attitude. 
I believe the psychology and mindset of a trader is key to differentiating you as a trader from being the big part of the 90% losers, to the minority of the 10% consistent winners.
With that said, I have studied and chat with a lot of the professional retail traders in my year and a half of trading experience. One thing I do find that they all have is a positive winning mindset. So let’s define it;
The proper attitude a trader must have: A positive expectation of your efforts, with an acceptance that whatever the results you get, are a perfect reflection of your level of development, and what you need to learn to do better.
I want you guys to write this down, put it in a spot where you can glance at it daily, memorize this. Try to pick apart what this truly means. I understand that I literally just wrote a summary. I will dive deeper into what this truly means in the next post. Really break this down for you guys.
Have a good night.

In this write up, I would like to show you how I personally take entries and exits in trades. Hopefully this will help shed some light for those who are still struggling to identify and time their entries and exits. Before we start though, I’d like to show you that there are 4 stages/states to any market though, illustrated in the image below. We will be focusing on stage 2-4. The up trend of the market, the topping and sideways action of the market, and the down trend of the market. It is during stage 2 and stage 4 that we need to decide whether we are already too late to hop on the train, or do we still have time to get in and turn a profit. Most of the time I find my self missing stage 2, the beginning trader will see it as hype and the market is hot and jump in. Only to find themselves getting in too late and stuck on stage 3. For my self, I usually find my self spotting stage 3, I sit stalking and waiting for the first sign of stage 4 coming. That’s the bulk of my trades. ...

Okay, I feel that I really need to get this blog out asap as I find it imminent to address this issue before I see anymore account blow ups or bad losses.  I've seen too many and I personally have blown up quite a few accounts my self.  No one should be losing this much money if they apply this very basic principle I'm about to talk about.  How to set proper goals, and defining the moment when we are a consistent winning trader. If any of you have read my past blog entry, I have shown pretty clear that it is absolutely impossible to know what the market will do let alone control it.  The only thing that we, as traders have absolute 100% control over is how much money we lose, or willing to risk. That is the key differentiation between trading and gambling. With that said, I see some traders set daily goals for themselves. Many of them set monetary goals like, 'I'm want to make $100-$150/day. I want to make 'X' percentage of my account daily/weekly/monthly....
