It's come to my attention that many traders have the wrong idea about what leverage is & how it should be used. I shouldn't be surprised since it goes hand in hand with using proper risk management which is another thing that many new traders either don't know about or tend to gloss over. This podcast will explain why leverage doesn't matter as much as you think if you're treating your trading like a business instead of like a gambler.

What if I told you that the best way to focus was to unfocus? Sound strange, but there's a lot of truth to that statement. Although the brain is not technically a muscle, it can be treated the same way when trying to achieve peak performance. What this means is that allowing it to recover is often the best way to stimulate growth. Here's what I mean...

This was a comment I got from a trader the other day claiming that my way of trading doesn't work. Although these comments used to bother me when I first started trading, they are now meaningless because it's obvious that I'm doing something right. However, it does represent a bigger issue that many traders have in that being the idea that there is a "wrong" or "right" way to trade & spreading that way of thinking can be very hurtful for a younger trader.

Pardon the cheesy title..but it's true. One of the reasons trading is so difficult is because it's often a lonely journey that one takes on their own. When you can surround yourself with a person or people on the same path as you, it adds motivation, inspiration & accountability to what you're doing which can be the difference-maker between succeeding & failing.
