Over the course of the following 5 years or so, I went through significant drawdowns – both financial and emotional.  \nMy repeated failures in the markets pushed me to question my role in the kind of results I was engineering for myself month after month, year after year.  \nThrough this mere act of reflection and self-analysis came a whole new paradigm.  \nSaid this way, it might seem like it was smooth sailing from there – it wasn’t! But slowly (and eventually), I started to become more and more consistent.  \n2013 was my first profitable year as a trader. That is the year where I also came in 2nd in a live trading competition.  \nI started Trading Composure to share the lessons failure and hardship taught me, and today I help people change their trading results through my writings.  \nThank you for purchasing this book. I hope you find within it concrete answers to your struggles in the markets. The Essence Of Trading Psychology In One Skill is a reflection on your own potential for greatness. This means that you can raise the bar on your own limitations if you dare to do so – and I sincerely hope you do!  \nINTRODUCTION  \nPicture this:  \n You are right in the middle of a profitable trade, and you are worried about giving back some precious unrealized gains.  \n You are stressing about the nasty drawdown you are currently in and you want that particular trade to work so that you can feel whole again.  \n You feel anxious about the money you don’t have and need.  \n You think about the bills, the mortgage, the things you could afford if only you could return consistent results out of your trading operations.  \n You imagine your wife, family, friends and you worry about how they may perceive you. You want them to think that you are getting somewhere with this crazy dream of trading for a living.  \nIs that a common thing for you? I know what it feels like. Trying to create consistency in trading, even more so a life worth living, when overwhelmed by those states of mind is a tough battle.  \nFor a very long time, I have experienced these states and the range of afflictive thoughts and emotions that characterize them. As a result, 5 years into trading and still I wasn’t able to engineer consistency in my results.  \nOne day, almost by mistake, I began realizing that I was, in essence, held hostage by my own thinking. All that time, I was stuck in a cage that is wide open, and I never knew there was an alternative to that.  \nAt times, when we are most captured by fear, we are forced into reacting blindly to new possibilities. We feel boxed in these feelings which give rise to rigid state","cbCairvHaV7Gkhb5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairvHaV7Gkhb5","pdf",708759,87,"English","# About The Author\n# Introduction\n# Table of Contents\n# 1.
