Just because the next trade's outcome is uncertain - the stress and knot in your stomach see a noticeable reduction based on what framework you're using.
Because the right framework gives you certainty in other areas of your trading. Including a predictable outcome after every 'x' trades.

This is how trading works.
Most of your trades feel like you're either treading water or making insignificant sums that make people doubt why you trade.
But every week, you get a few that justify the insignificant...

Counterintuitive
You have your allocated time to trade. You want the fish to bite there and then - the trades to happen.
If you’re not placing a trade, it feels like that time isn’t being used productively - like you should be doing something else instead.

Even though making mistake after mistake, getting to the point of nailing a robust framework and catalogue of repeatable trades is mentally tough, it has an end date:

Once your trading shifts to thinking in odds, and the outcome of any single trade no longer matters, it becomes easier to see what actually needs to change to make meaningful inroads into your performance.
That’s why it’s the most important trading adjustment you can make.

Ambiguity in trading erodes mental resilience.
To accept the uncertainty of any single trade outcome, you need unwavering trust in your framework of principles & catalogue of repeatable trades. No shades of grey.
Yes it means delving into nuance.
But that's what’s required to get precise clarity.

Not spoken about enough is the ability to slow down.
Trading at different market speeds is a skill in itself.

There are moments when it takes guts...
Whether it’s an error, poor execution or just how the odds played out.
Your choice is acting immediately to exit for a certain loss vs giving it time to either recover or get worse.
And it happens because you know the certain loss now makes the day harder.

There are times you uncover the uncrowded opportunities that lead to your most rewarding trades.
I've come to realise this happens when you can look at the market from more angles.
But it’s not because you’re smarter or more talented...

There’s no bigger trading trap than entering prematurely.
It’s a danger when an ‘opportunity’ appears so obvious it draws in traders.
But the market functions only to reward the few. Many need to be flushed before any move can happen...

It’s more mentally draining to be constantly comprehending the market narrative than executing a trade because “this pattern looks good.”

Many inconsistent traders are experts at inconsistency.
Years of ineffective trading methods have wired it into their DNA.
That’s why there's no place for skipping game planning, or reviewing, or trading on the fly.
Or you cement them into your behaviour, turning them into unconscious habits.

Most gains come from one fact.
Traders want the trade to work 'now'.
The more immediate the want, the less you take, the more you donate.
To those who don’t just know this.
They can trade it.

It’s counterintuitive: traders are drawn to execute like moths to a flame, the faster the pace of a move.

Knowledge might be power but feedback is priceless.
If you’re not consistently profitable and relying only on your own feedback, odds are you’re making things worse.

Luck plays a large role in poker. Most don’t know it’s also the case in trading and investing.
The difference is in trading it takes longer to see if you were lucky or skilled, often after the damage is done.

Study your reactions to the market.
Notice how often price moves against what feels right.
Those feelings aren’t unique. Most traders act on them.

Your trading success comes down to decision speed.
Yet even if you’re given uncrowded ideas and repeatable trades, the initial cognitive load slows you down.
Only repetition builds the neural connections for instant decisions.
And that’s exactly how you want it...

Is it a trade or not?
You’re bullish, but unsure if it’s the right moment to enter.
Maybe it needs to drop a little more? Or maybe you need to wait to see something else. But see what?

They say trading’s hard.
Because you don’t realise how bad a trader you really are until you’ve made, lived and felt every mistake.
But once you have, it gets easy to see others about to do the same.
That’s when you’re ready to upskill so their losses are your profits.

Most traders think inconsistency is a mindset problem.
But trading pays in proportion to your skill, knowledge and experience.
If you’re winning sometimes but losing overall, chances are it’s not your psychology holding you back.
That part gets a lot easier once you’ve gained the right skills.
