Free Rande Howell webinar: Your Hidden Beliefs About Money Sabotage Your Trading Mindset

Your Hidden Beliefs About Money Sabotage Your Trading Mindset Hello Trader,                At some moment, traders come to the edge of their technical skill sets – and find that it hasn’t been enough to get them to the promised land – financial independence. There is something missing. And it is something they have been steadfastly ignoring. What they do not want to see is the journey into the final frontier of successful trading – the psychology of money. The dream of trading is that it can provide the money to set you free. And it is true, trading can do this. The problem is that traders seek a quick fix to a problem that is rooted in antiquity. Our emotional brain (aka Caveman Brain) forms learnings (implicit beliefs that you don’t know about) that become the beliefs that drive your performance under the stress of Uncertainty. Of particular interest are those beliefs that you hold about money.   Your Inner Caveman does not know about money. It didn’t exist when your Caveman Brain was formed. But survival in a dangerous world did exist. Over time, the abstract of money became a symbolic representation of power. The power to prevail (win), safety (fending off predators), and status (who governed or who had first access to breeding) were the sole concerns of the Caveman Brain. Money, as a symbol, became a symbolic presentation of the power to survive.   If a trade has ever gone against you and you fought back (because you hate to lose), you have experienced this primitive survival instinct for survival. To your Emotional or Caveman Brain, you were truly fighting for your life. To the trader that you aspire to be, you might have only experienced a small loss on the path to becoming a winning trader. To the modern trading mind, losing well is part of a solid trading psychology. But to your Caveman Brain, losing means you are about to become someone’s meal…losing is death. This is the dilemma for the trader. One part of your brain, the Emotional Brain, seeks the certainty of survival (success) and will fight to not lose. Another part of your brain, the modern Thinking Brain, looks at winning as probability and risk management. Losses are a natural part of the management of Uncertainty. The problem is that, when your Emotional Brain is confronted with perceived impending doom, it will hijack the probability mindset that the Thinking Brain brings to trading, because the Emotional Brain believes it is being threatened with its life. It All Comes Down to Your Beliefs about Money. Remember, money is not just money; it is also a representation of your perceived power to survive. (Caveman doesn’t know about money, only the power to survive.) This power to survive is rooted in four emotional beliefs that are below your conscious threshold. 1)    Am I powerful enough to survive so that I matter? 2)    Am I deserving – do I deserve the power to survive? 3)    Am I good enough to survive? 4)    If I have money (power) will someone love me? These core beliefs are always being projected onto the markets by traders. And your trading account is always holding a mirror in front of you and showing you whether you have the skillsets to manage uncertainty and become consistently profitable. It is these beliefs that we are exploring this month in our [video]( and our [webinar]( really need to embrace these hidden beliefs, and to learn where to find them and how to start working with them. You can design them for use in the world of trading, rather than the world of survival. Let’s begin.

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. We have reached the maximum enrollment for the Winter 2023 Group Course. All those who register now will be enrolled in the Spring 2023 Group Course, which has its 1st Group Meeting in March or April (schedule not finalized yet).

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.
