  7. Current Trading Education Trading is not about indicators. Trading is not about money management. Trading is not about risk assessment. These are tools trader’s use. Trading is about Clear Decisions What tools we are going to use How we are going to use them.

  8. Trading Education’s Challenge Most traders adopt a trading method and make that method fit their life. When that doesn’t work, they look for another trading method When that doesn’t work, they look for another trading method etc, etc, etc.

  10. Changing the Paradigm Instead of you trying to fit the method… what if the method were tailored to fit you?

  11. Changing the Paradigm

  12. Changing the Paradigm What is a trading method? A way of identifying tradable opportunities in specific market conditions.

  13. Changing the Paradigm If you have a trending method, it works best in a trending market. A trending method will do very poorly in consolidation markets.

  14. Changing the Paradigm So how do we create a custom fitted method? It requires clarity of your trading purpose.

  15. Creating Trading Clarity So how do we create clarity about: What we trade How we want trade When we trade We need to ask why do we trade?

  16. Creating Trading Clarity Why do you trade? (hint: it’s not about the money.)

  17. Creating Trading Clarity By defining “Why do you trade?” you start to create purpose. Purpose leads to Goals Goals create Direction/Path Direction leads to Conscious Choices *
