The Disciplined Trader

The Psychology of the Disciplined Trader who Thinks and Acts Like a Warrior Trader - Equates to Sustained Power Profit-Taking

Profitable Trading Psychology…is having a Warrior State of Mind.

In other words, a focused and determined state of mind, free from any type of mental or emotional boundaries that allows you to create financial independence through trading the markets, and a mindset of growth to achieve other goals you may choose to fulfill. It is a thought process of no longer subscribing to common trading or relationship myths...and no longer being a "fake trader" or someone who has not made an investment…in themselves.

It is an understanding that the dynamics of goal achievement are within your reach if you choose to believe in yourself and your innate abilities to succeed at anything you put your mind to do, and instill the unique thought processes of the Warrior Trader mindset that you must have within your methodology to fulfill your financial and personal dreams.  Having this Warrior Trader Mindset applies to all facets of your life – whether financial, emotional, physical.  The Winning Warrior Mindset is what all successful people have learned to positively utilize in their lives to win, win, win.

Dr. Paula and Mark Douglas initially brought their unique psychological approach to the trading community in the late 1980s when no one had heard of, much less knew about or believed in, the necessity of having a mental concept of trading from a disciplined trader warrior mindset.  Their ground-breaking materials have opened the minds and grown the equity of countless traders across the world to understand that analysis, while necessary, is not the only thing needed to create and sustain prosperity.  And that the Disciplined Trader Warrior Mindset is necessary to build and sustain profits.  Dr. Paula expanded this original psychology to include a mental discipline of thinking prosperously beginning in 1991, which developed the foundation for their collaborations forward.  This approach is what Dr. Paula and Mark began teaching jointly from that point forward to individual traders, trading firms, private investment groups, institutional traders at financial institutions, heads of state including a Saudi prince; traders of all levels of experience here and abroad.

So, as a trader you must ask yourself -

"What is it about my thinking methodology, my personal mindset that is limiting my success (also) in my relationships, and keeping me from my wealth?"

Are You a Fake Trader?

Every one of us has the innate ability to achieve our highest financial goals!  But if you do not believe that you can achieve your trading goals, that your supreme wealth is ordained for you by God, then you won't.  It is as simple as that.  You may believe in yourself 95%, but the remaining 5% of doubt will stop you, make you hesitate, keep you from achieving what you think you deserve, more importantly what you believe you can accomplish.  Stop thinking like a fake trader with a closed-loop mindset.  Break free from the “boom & bust” cycles forever with Dr. Paula.

Common Trading Myths

  • I need to be in multiple markets to have a feel for market action.
    • Wrong.  Countless successful traders only trade in one or two markets, and they have pulled millions out of the market over the years
  • I must trade big to win big.
    • Wrong.  You can have a steady approach to your trading without putting yourself at high risk for a huge drawdown, if you pull out all profits every time it is made available to you
    • You can always increase your size after you have achieved the appropriate thought processes of self-trust, sustained consistency, and confidence
      • For instance, you cannot increase your size if you blow up your account in ‘boom & bust’ cycles, right?
  • Trading psychology is not necessary, only analysis is.
    • If you believe that, you will spend 99% of your time researching and doing analysis for the rest of your trading years, without ever having succeeded at reaching your trading goals
      • Having the proper Disciplined Trader Warrior Mindset is what it takes to sustain a rising equity curve
  • Leaving all my profits in my Crypto account assures me I will win big trading crypto.
    • Completely false.
    • There is no successful trader that leaves 100% of their profit in any trading account.  All successful traders take out a minimum of 25% of their profit on a weekly or monthly basis.
      • This ensures they are 1) paying themselves as a trader and 2) protects their profits from sloppy or revenge trading.
      • That is true Money Management.
  • RSI is better than Candlesticks; Candlesticks are better than P&L; P&L is better than Support & Resistance; and so forth.
    • Wrong.  Whatever methodology you choose to use will be right for you.  All methodologies have good points
      • So, pick one, and learn it well
  • I need at least four or more monitors and several computers as back-up to be able to watch market action.
    • Wrong.  If you feel you must have a certain number of monitors to view the markets, you are in information overload
      • You do not need more than two monitors and one computer/device to trade with initially
  • Crypto Currency platforms are protected and regulated by the U.S. Government, just like other market contracts – therefore I can leave all my profit in my crypto account.
    • Completely false.
    • Although the U.S. Government is looking to create regulated crypto currency platforms – currently, none of the crypto platforms are regulated.
      • This leaves crypto traders at risk of the platform failing and losing 100% of their account with no viable way for restitution.
  • I need to risk more than 10% on each trade to make the trade worthwhile.
    • Wrong.  Your risk ratio should be between 3-5%
  • What I was taught about money and success has no bearing on how I approach my trading, because that was too long ago to matter.
    • Wrong.  Everything you were taught about money and success by others influences your trading
      • Everything you were taught about money and success got you to where you are today.  But if you want more money and more success as a trader, then you will need to instill the appropriate mental skills and expand your mindset to that of a Warrior Trader
  • I am a success right now as a doctor, engineer, lawyer, manager, etc., and that success will automatically transfer over into my new career as a trader.
    • This is a complete fallacy. Your success in any other career does not guarantee you success in the markets
      • You need specific skills and our unique Winning Warrior Mindset to navigate the markets and create sustainable profits
