Betting on yourself and knowing what you are made of. What a comfort zone is and how you should come to terms with the realities of your comfort zone. Are you doing what you need just to survive or are you pushing yourself. Becoming a successful trader means you are going to have to break out of your comfort zone. Why do we feel bad around others when we are taking the road less travelled? Traders are entrepreneurs. Trading is just like sports. Just because you have success doesn’t mean that it’s here to stay….if you stop doing the things that made you successful in the first place. “In times of adversity you sink to the level of your training”. Akil remembers a time shooting a video where his filming partner likely tried to kill him….in fairness it was a fight scene! Stick to what you do every day even when the market is doing nothing. You never know when you are going to have a lot of great trading opportunities. Back test your strategies to gain confidence in your trading.
