AND THE WINNER IS...

Thank you all for the great contributions to the comments. We chose the following post because it struck us that here's a brand new trader that has grasped the importance of being 'The Disciplined Trader' very early in the 'usual' learning cycle... so much so that she is already actively INVENTING PROCESSES to help her with her discipline. We'd like accelerate that process for Hana by awarding her a free copy of The Disciplined Trader Mastery Kit. Congratulations, Hana, and Thank You again to ALL our traders who made this exercise a real learning experience. Hana Kulhankova Says: April 1st, 2012 at 3:52 pm Thanks for your videos and audios. I am a complete newby and am a perfect example of the first audio. However I have read so many books on trading psychology that I must honestly say that what I heard was nothing new for me. So let me share an example of my mental work with myself. After the first three weeks of paper trading (yes, I am really at the very beginning), I realized that I felt the fear to pull the trigger before the very first trade every day. Right at that moment, I felt it again. It struck me as amazing and I just started a chat with myself as to why would I have to feel like that. Funnily enough, the fear disappeared and I started to trade normally. The same repeated about three times. Now I am aware of it IN ADVANCE. So I decided to work on other fears in the same manner. I just need more practice in trading to be able to “catch” myself within the fear. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEE ORIGINAL POST BELOW: In response to this question, 1,862 traders responded. Three “pressing questions” stood out, meaning they were the most common responses.

Tisha Hallett was asked to keep her responses to 3 minutes and was successful in doing so. For each question a 3-minute audio was recorded and may be listened to below.

I had Tisha keep the responses short because I wanted you to have no “time-resistance” in hearing them.

For each question, you’ll hear her address the problem, the cause, and a suggested solution.

There are other very important mental/emotional issues not addressed here, but these are the “Top 3″. If you find value from Tisha’s words, please let us know, and perhaps she can record further audios addressing more reported “pressing issues” of the mental/emotional kind for the trader.

To help us serve you better, after listening to one or more of these clips, let us know what “really hit you” or “rung true with you” or “inspired you”. This will help us create even more meaningful responses to further questions... AND... By leaving your comment at the bottom of this post you'll be entered to win a chance for a SCHOLARSHIP for a personal copy of our flagship product, The Disciplined Trader Mastery Kit.
