How To Follow Your Trading Plan In 2023!! ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ณ

๋ฐ์ดํธ๋จ
I hope 2022 was a positive year for you on the trading front. My own trading results vary a lot from year to year. Some years Iโm profitable, some years Iโm not. Even when I follow my trading rules to a T. Such is the nature of trading.
For me, 2022 was Interesting to see in The Market. but I didnโt press too much since I had an absolutely phenomenal performance in 2020-2021. I wanted to take it easy, especially since stocks / crypto felt a little toppy for me.

But 2022 market conditions were very Unforgiving and the Market Gods have been throwing Dirt at the Disciplined and the Undisciplined. So, if you havenโt made any money in 2022, don't worry because opportunities were not lacking.
That being said, know that there will always be opportunities. Human behavior changes over time, but NOT HUMAN NATURE. Thatโs why you seeโand will continue to seeโfinancially exploitable patterns in the markets.
Now, whether you made money or not in 2022, itโs important to remain Humble, recalibrate your mindset, and renew your commitment to your trading plan in 2023.
Hereโs what I suggest you do.
Two Stepsโฆ
First, recognize that the nature of the market makes trading an emotionally charged game by default.
Emotions never go away. Over time, and with experience, we just learn not to let them fuel irrational decisions.
Second, acknowledge that your emotional states do not need to match your trading rules. This is very importantโฆ you donโt have to always feel good about following your trading rules. Itโs not necessarily meant to be a โfeel goodโ thing.
Thereโs a reason why following your rules/plan doesnโt feel good: those things give structure to your behavior, and your mind doesnโt like that. Your mind is like a wild animal and likes to do what it wants.
I mean, who likes rules? Rules are hard to abide by, especially oneโs own rules. If youโve ever tried a really strict diet, you know what Iโm talking about.
So, it takes a special kind of courage to still choose to follow your trading rules, amidst the discomforts. And mindfulness can help you access and grow that courage.
INFUSING MINDFULNESS INTO YOUR TRADING PROCESS
The idea of sticking with your trading rules despite the discomforts is that you need to feel worse before you can feel better. In other words, you need to go through the pain of following your trading rules in the present, so that you can enjoy consistent profitability in the future.
This is not an easy and comfortable process. Again, itโs hard. From an early age, we learn to stay away from pain and discomfort. But the thing is, pain and discomfort arenโt always bad, and you can learn to overcome the toxic conditioning of automatically thinking that they are bad by willingly opening up to how you feel.
This is where mindfulness can help. Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different. Itโs enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); itโs being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it wonโt).
In that sense, mindfulness is said to not solve your problems, but rather dis-solve them, which is a rather poetic way of saying that it can help you see through your discomforts.
By cultivating such a skillful perspective on so-called negative emotions, one can learn to reframe and reinterpret them as just neutral, non-dual information arising and passing.
Armed with this new perspective, you can then learn to act in the market with a greater degree of objectivity, and the unpleasant emotions that arise in relation to following your trading rules will no longer hold such power over you.
LAST FEW WORDS
Before I end this short post, I want to leave you with two things. ๐
First, a quote from famous German philosopher, Nietzsche:
"If you are unwilling to endure your own suffering even for an hour, and continually forestall all possible misfortune, if you regard as deserving of annihilation any suffering, and pain generally as evil, as detestable, and as blots on existence, well, you have then, besides your religion of compassion, yet another religion in your heart (and this is perhaps the mother of the former) โthe religion of smug ease. Ah, how little you know of the happiness of man, you comfortable and good-natured ones! For happiness and misfortune are brother and sister, and twins, who grow tall together, or, as with you, remain small together!
All Nietzsche is saying is that you need to keep pushing your own boundaries even if it means that you have to suffer pain and discomfort in the process. Thatโs the only way to grow. Clinging to comfort is one of the worst things you can ever do because โhappiness and misfortune are brother and sister, and twins, who grow tall together, or [โฆ] remain small together!โ
Second, an action step:
When placing and/or managing your trades, make sure you have a clear idea of the kind of emotion youโre experiencing. Then set an implementation intention by repeating the following: โI will not blindly react to (fear, anger, greedโฆ name the emotion), Instead, I will use it as a cue to redirect my attention to my trading plan.โ
and yeah that's it
Likewise always Wishing you a Profitable Week and Welcome 2023. Happy New Year!!
and yup Have a Good Day Trader And Investor.
