Free Rande Howell webinar: Building a Rock-Solid Psychology for Facing the Challenges of Trading

Building a Rock-Solid Psychology for Facing the Challenges of Trading Hello Trader,                During the action of trading, the beliefs that drive your trading are exposed – for better or worse. When you look at the health of your trading account, you are not looking at whether you are making money or losing money – that’s only the outcome of the beliefs that you are projecting onto the markets. It is the beliefs that drive the action of your trading that is being exposed. And that is where the dreams you have about success and winning –the thrill of making a bunch of money fast – collide with the inconvenient truth of the brain facing uncertainty laden with a bias to interpret information from a fear-based emotional brain. When you ignore what your trading account is telling you about the primitive beliefs you have about the meaning of making money or losing money, you are practicing (what is called in the recovery movement) denial. You are denying the truth about the beliefs you hold about your capacity to manage an uncertain future, despite the evidence right in front of you. You inherent this bias from our caveman days. Caveman preferred a reassuring lie rather than the inconvenient truth that leads to system change.   That truth is that you (and practically everybody else who trades) are ill-equipped to manage the task of trading. Your Caveman brain is focused on short term survival, which produces a disastrous P&L statement. To your Emotional Brain (Caveman Brain), trading is its worst nightmare. You bring a brain rooted in controlling outcome, being right, never losing, and predicting the future (which led to survival) and throw it into a world where it does not control winning and losing. That sets up the nightmare. What makes it worse, is that the trader keeps denying this truth. If you were to accept this truth, (evidenced by your trading account) you would be able to humbly begin to adapt your Emotional Brain to survive in a very different world – where uncertainty is the norm – and long-term thriving is the goal. The first thing, though, is to come clean about the beliefs that your trading account is revealing to you.  This is the foundational change that is required to build a rock-solid psychology for facing the limitations imposed by the uncertainty of the markets. You do not control outcome. (It’s a great illusion until put to the test.) But you do control the mind you bring into the moment of performance. This is the rock-solid psychology needed for succeeding in trading. It’s not what you came stocked with, but it can be developed. The question is whether or not you really want success enough that you are willing to change the very being you are. Then, can you summon the courage to take that action? Everyday, you look at your trading account and see the current answer to that question.  If you can get past your evolutionary reluctance to change the mind you bring to trading, I invite you to explore the material we are offering this month. [Click here]( (and scroll down a bit) to watch this month's video, or [click here]( to register for our free webinar this month.

[New free Video - ]( Building a Rock-Solid Psychology for Facing the Challenges of Trading The dilemma of trading is that you have a brain and mind that evolved to seek certainty, but (in trading), you constantly encounter doubt. It’s like two polar opposites colliding in your mind when you face the Uncertainties of Trading. If you don’t learn how to bridge that gap between the doubt of dealing with Uncertainty and exploiting the potential of Probability, you’re not going to make it as a trader. Your brain’s against you on this one. But you can learn how. Watch this video. Begin to understand the journey to a rock-solid psychology for dealing with the doubt of Uncertainty - by building a Probability Mind.  Please [click here]( (and scroll down a bit) to view the video. Developing Traders State of Mind Group Course - Winter, 2023 The emotional brain is built to seek safety in a dangerous world. The world that it was created for has long since disappeared. It developed a hair-trigger to the fight/flight response because that is what was needed for survival. Now, it has been taken out of the jungle (where risk meant danger) and is being asked to act civilized in a world of probability - where risk is not lethal. Without re-training and re-programming the emotional limbic system, this is not going to happen. It is built to react to danger quickly. It was never built to ponder your rules when it is experiencing vulnerability, discomfort, and fear. It was programmed to act from your survival instinct.  Until this is done, your emotional brain will continue to hijack your thinking brain when you feel the discomfort of uncertainty and risk. This is your silent partner. The question is: Are you going to try to continue to pretend it's not part of your trading mind? Or, are you ready to re-program it for the modern world of trading and probability. Fortunately, this can be done. The Developing Traders State of Mind Group Course Teaches You How to Master Reactive Emotions The Group Course has been called a wake-up call by many traders. Most simply have no idea how the brain and mind work to produce performance in the clutch with risk on. You learn here. It's more than a wake-up call - it a door that opens you to a whole new world. You learn how the emotional brain (so focused on survival) needs to be handled to become an effective working partner with the thinking brain. This course is eye-opening. I had no idea how to fix the problems I had with my trading until this course. Learning how to manage emotions is only the start. You learn how to create a mind built to manage uncertainty. Bottom line is that I know longer sabotage myself and have become profitable. I wish I had taken the group course a long time ago. It's a difference maker. SD From the start you learn how to calm survival emotions down before they become big and hijack your trading mind. That's just the first step. The major benefit is that you learn how to create a mind built for trading, rather than survival in the past. This is what has to happen for success in trading. You have been using a brain/mind created for circumstances that no longer exist. What is needed is a brain/mind built for probability management. Where you learn to become comfortable with the discomfort of uncertainty rather than triggering to your survival instinct. This is what every trader, to be successful, has to learn. Time to register! The first review session for the Group Course is Jan. 19. By this date you need to have studied the Class 101 materials in depth. So, give yourself lots of time to study, and get started now! The survival Instinct is not going to just go away. It is your partner. Do you want to learn to work with it so that it helps you to become the trader you can be?

Rande Howell, MEd., LPC If you know how to trade when not in the pressure of trading, but you have not been able to trade live from a calm, detached, and disciplined state of mind, this book will open your eyes. Mindful Trading actually shows you HOW to develop a peak performance state of mind specifically for trading. This book gets in the head of a trader. You will meet a number of real life traders who have overcome self doubt, fear, and impulsiveness. You will see how they overcame self-limiting beliefs and began trading from an empowered state of mind. You will discover your core beliefs that actually trade your system and methodology. And without change at this fundamental level, old self-limiting patterns of thought and belief re-assert themselves shortly after your brain pushes off any "tricks and tips" you learned from self-help seminars. It is this change at the organization of meaning and biology that makes this book so different. A number of disciplines are folded into a unified process that really gets at long term change. Those disciplines include neuro-biology, emotional intelligence, ontological reconstruction of the self, attachment theory and the meaning of the self, and Jungian archetypes. In Mindful Trading, imbedded in self-limiting beliefs, you are carried through a change process that transforms traders mired in mediocrity to a re-organization of the mind for peak performance trading. Mindful Trading is available both as an [Audio book]( a [paper book]( and a [downloadable e-book](. [Read an excerpt from Mindful Trading]( free and you get to look inside a trader's mind) And consider the companion study tool: the  [Mindful Trading Companion]( [e-Workbook!]( Explore a Trader's State of Mind Coaching Relationship with Rande Howell This is a personalized course for the trader who is ready to move beyond being stuck in self limiting beliefs. If you have recognized that it is you that stands in the way of your becoming a more successful trader, then this challenge can become an opportunity for re-invention of yourself as a trader, rather than something to avoid. It's like a door opening to an entirely new world. Great athletes recognize that the mental aspect of their game requires a performance coach for them to reach their potential. Trading is the same. Self-limiting beliefs have to be rooted out and changed - and a peak performance mindset has to be developed. It's all part of the training. Having a methodology that gives you an edge is not enough. You have to develop your mind so that it gives you the psychological edge to use your methodology and platform so that the uncertainty found in trading favors you. This is trading beyond fear. It is trading from a disciplined, impartial, patient, and courageous state of mind. Without emotional regulation training, this can take years (if ever) to achieve on your own. Teasing apart uncertainty from fear is simply something that the brain will not do on its own. The psychology to this has to be developed...or you stay stuck in the same old self-fulfilling prophesies of mediocrity. Do you want to move beyond fear and trade from a calm, detached, and disciplined state of mind?  If you are seriously considering registering for the Individual Course, then c[lick here to check out a free, no obligation consult with Rande Howell]( get to see how this powerful technology of the mind can move your trading to the next level.
