Mastering Your Mind set

The Top Ten Tools For a Winning Trading Mindset

1. Manage Your Risk You must have a clear plan to manage trade with a specific risk.

2. Don’t get attached to the results It’s easy to think you have done something special after a few wins when actually it’s the success of your strategy.

Watch out for over confidence bias

3. Make friends with your stats Don’t be afraid of lots of data. Use it to establish key things to change
