Just because you don’t trade professionally yet, doesn’t mean you can’t conduct yourself as a trader who does. So from now on I want you to think of yourself as a professional. Stop referring to yourself as a novice or a “newbie”. Those titles are self-limiting and destructive. The sooner you start viewing yourself a professional the sooner you will start acting like one, and pretty soon…..you’ll actually be one.
We’re not going to go into goal setting to any great length although we will talk about expectations when we cover Trade Plan Development, but I would highly suggest you take some time and write down your goals. Not just your trading goals but your personal, emotional and spiritual ones as well. When times get tough and you begin to question yourself, they will help to uplift you and keep you focused.
