Default Mindset of a Profitable Trader

Just as important as controlling risk (money management), traders also needs to have confident in oneself. Traders need to know that even with a profitable trading system; one could also have numerous losses in a row. This is usually referred to as drawdown. Being aware of this can help to prepare you to control risk and not abandon a good trading system when drawdown occurs.

This self confidence is an important part of a trader's mindset, one that you must developed in order to be consistently profitable. When you see that your trading capital is growing consistently month after month, you should know you have sucessfully developed the mindset of a successful trader.
Acquiring the trader’s mindset takes patience, time and experience. Here is a brief list of traits you should developed:
  • Sense of calm when trading
  • Ability to focus on the present reality and not how you would like it to be
  • Disregarding which way the market breaks or moves
  • The feeling that money is not the point of focus
  • Always looking to improve skills and strategies
  • Open-minded, keeping opinions to a minimum
  • Absence of anger
  • Enjoyment of the process
  • Trading one chosen approach or system consistently
  • Telling oneself that you cannot control the market but you can control your own decisions
  • No feeling of being victimized by the markets
  • Taking full responsibility for all trading results and willing to learn from mistakes.
  • Do not rush into trades if you are not confident; reminding oneself that there is always next day to trade

Hi fxtrendline,

Yes indeed. It is something we need to constantly remind ourselves about.

I agree with the above statement you just said..

But i just want to add something that is for me a very important thing of every trader to consider..

Be discipline!

All the things would be useless if you don't have the discipline to follow even a simple rules..
