In this week’s 4-Minute Drill for Traders, I stress the importance of taking control of what information you process in your mind.  I explain that by building enough neural pathways you can determine your dominant truth and that getting your subconscious mind in-line with constructive thoughts is key to becoming a consistently successful trader.
