@@ferdimanville1901 Start with Personality Tests, then define your emotional weaknesses.

As the son of an Ivy League educated mechanical engineer with advanced degrees, and as a former college professor myself, I can tell you that several of these qualities are good for most anyone in the workaday world, and they're qualities I learned from my dad, on through college and on the job. To be a trader, you certainly need a self-starter, entrepreneurial mindset. There's no time for the lazy and unmotivated, so sustained focus is essential. And like anything, you have to start somewhere, so start with someone you trust and connect to. Not everyone can be YOUR mentor. I always preached attention to detail to my students, because no employer wants to hire the mentally lazy to screw up for a good salary, and as a trader you're dealing with your own money, so that should be enough motivation. One last thing I can tell you is that ALL highly successful people are CONSTANTLY learning, and NOT just in one field or from the obvious places. A diverse background of knowledge will always come to your aid, no matter what you do. I suggest you read books on critical thinking as well. Your mind is your money muscle. God bless.

The whole vid is a big confirmation for me! I am glad, I found it! My personal rules: - Never be fixated on profit - Don't fell for FOMO. Set a daily limit for living and everything above is only allowed at strong signals! - ALWAYS stick to your rules - Never stop improving (as discussed in the vid) your strategy (if possible). Don't change fundamentals to go drastic steps because of market movements. - Trading is NOT a game! If you get bored from a slow, choppy market, quit for the day. Concentrate on what you are good in don't try a new terrain out of boredom.

Well, I’m 68 years young, and during Covid19 I started learning how to trade CFDs online. I have had a great time learning the ropes. I agree that we will all make mistakes, and those mistakes teach us how nit to get bitten by the same mistake. One has to have an entrepreneurial attitude. As an entrepreneur one will have everyone telling you that you can’t do this or that, and you must have the ability to accept failure, without giving up. At the moment I make around 300% per annum on the limited investment that I was able to make, of $50,000-. I have listened to your successful traders who struggle with up-scaling. I think I would also struggle with that. All that I do is I use less and less of my capital to continue to make what I consider to be an acceptable income. That way I can afford to make a large error without stopping out. Thanks for your videos. They draw our attention to things that we have forgotten.

I know I have majority of these traits. One thing I have to admit though is I never learnt TA per say from mentors since It was all self taught. I personally couldnt afford mentors or courses at the very start of my trading career, but I did research to find out what other traders did as mistakes and prevent myself from going through that experience. I was ALWAYS attentive to what traders experienced. even 6 years later, im still attentive.

Always working to improve my game has helped me learn great strategies ideas but it causes me to want to alter my strategy every 3-5 trades. I am now testing all 3 of my entry strategies with for 20 trades each to finally find the best entry strategy for my setup after 3+ years of going back and forth.

At last I can see Dr. Brett Steenbarger, he was mentioned so many times in all SMB videos and in One Good Trade. :)

Outstanding! I have known for awhile that I want to trade weekly to 30 days out... not daily ... not long-term, etc. So important to Know Thyself!

Absolutely FABULOUS video!!!! Thank you for sharing. Sharing knowledge benefits the whole of the Trading World.

Seth is great because he helps bridge that massive gap between thinking you might be able to do this stuff and actually doing it. I have a friend who is a comedian and he says there are a lot of funny people who don't have the courage to walk those 18 feet up to the mic and do their act. I think it's the same for trading, you have to start somewhere and hopefully you will find your way into a community of people who are as turned on by this as you are and are will to share their ideas and grow stronger together. The one thing I would mention in addition to the six brilliant points that Brett made is you have to want it enough to do the work. It may be less exciting to do the detail work of back testing than to actually take 5 or 10 grand out of the market but still you have to get comfortable in that space and develop your own level of expertise. Great job Seth and Brett.

I don't know how anyone can give this a thumbs down. If you are a mature person and can be self reflective, consider external feedback, etc. You will see that these are all things that would make you a better trader. And, actually, that other mentorship companies say the same thing, in a different way. Of course, most of them are book readers and have coached with this Dr.'s book in the past also ;)

One of the best webinars I have seen lately Dr. Brett comes closest so far to the legend Mark Douglas. 1. Capacity for Sustained Focus - I have a BSC in computer science so I know I have the capacity for sustained focus probably more on the deep thinking part as I like to envision different trading scenarios but I do enjoy scalping also. 2. Originality & Creativity - not sure how I would stack up here, probably on the lower end since I like to do what works 3. Learned From Mentors & Great Traders - 100% agree great mentors are best success predictors by far 4. Emotional Resilience - I used to be depressed after a losing trade, now I know losers are normal and would be madness to think otherwise but still it is the hardest part of trading for me as I tend to trade my PNL and screw up good trades. 5. Attention to Detail - I like to put my SL above/below pockets of liquidity and I enjoy polishing my excel sheets stats bordering 6. Always Working to Improve their Game - I agree, as long as you have a solid base otherwise it can be equally destructive 4 and 2 would like to know who to improve

I am fairly good in all categories however my biggest issue I find is that I am a perfectionist and lack emotional resilience. I have a unique edge and adapt well and when I maintain sustained focus I can make a killing. However, if I slip up and make a trading error of some kind or don’t follow my rules ext ext. one slip up can lead to a downward spiral. I begin to pick everything apart and question whether I’m even capable to begin with. I know I likely need to put my hours in to build my confidence and set realistic expectations for myself and my growth. If I can catch myself before I begin to spiral, I will be successful without a doubt. Thanks for the great content!

It was great to watch this video today. I have all the qualities barring one... I have a favourite setup and stick to it. Though I include other parameters to back it up.

And I haven't finished it neither xD

Seth, Thanks for the offer to review & comment on our self-assessment of our abilities relative to the 6 qualities discussed with Dr. S. I believe I lack sustained focus in an aspect other than the fast-slow dichotomy. I am an engineer running my own consulting business and working on transitioning to trading and investing as my primary business. An example of my issue: In order to frame my message, I went back through your video to review Dr. S’s concepts. While listening, I caught Dr. S’s mention of Kahneman’s book. So, I went to Amazon to get the book. I had the choice of also adding an audible version of the book and I thought I have a 5 or 6-hr trip to a project coming up and an audible version would be good. But I wanted to make sure Audible would work with my setup or if I should look for the audio CD’s. So, I went to the Audible website. Then there was an issue of Audible before Amazon vs Audible that is now part of Amazon… A half-hour later, I am finally back to my post to your video comments and it took over 2 hours from the start of this message to posting it. In my trading, I believe this manifests in sorting through news and chat room info as I enter and execute trades as well as manage FOMO & other emotions. I start trading early and try to be done by 9 AM (Noon Eastern Time), so I can then focus on engineering for the rest of the day. But engineering business calls, & concerns weigh on my trading and trading concerns weigh on my engineering work. Learned from Mentors & Great Traders: I am the part of the retail trader plankton swimming around in front of the pod of blue whale self-proclaimed “mentors and great traders” (mag-ts). One of my first lucid moments with an early mag-t was the revelation that he was tired that day because he was working a 2nd job to be able to afford a vacation to Europe. Sadly, just like the next chart indicator looks like the "Holy Grail", the next mag-t seems to be the "Real McCoy". The grass is always greener... I notice that most of the people I have worked with (and there have been many people and $$ spent over the past year) are really good at telling me what has already happened but when it comes to explaining what is happening in real-time, they cuss, kibitz, hit & miss, etc… and generally do not provide coherent, actionable guidance. The other side of the coin is that by going out and fighting the battles in the markets, certain insights like those shared in this video are sinking deeper into my soul and I can better sort out BS and absorb good, usable info. Emotional Resilience: I just ventured back into minis from the micros after a successful week in micros yet with the frustration of seeing my brokers make most of the monetary profit. But I am not trading the minis as well as the micros. And I think my emotions are the turd in the pie in this transition. Thanks in advance if you made it this far.

I definitely feel confident in the capacity for sustained focus, as well as emotional resilience and attention to detail. However, I need to improve on originality and creativity; I take other traders' successful strategies and implement them to some degree of success ... I believe I need to take pieces of other peoples' strategies and create my own successful one that works best for me. It is also difficult for me to find the right mentor/community. I am not a part of any financial institution and I trade independently from home.

Great video.... i love day trading and know its meant for me. Understood this fully. And came to this conclusion on my own. I don't have a mentor personally but youtube is my mentor and I'm fine with that. My secret sauce is my personality cater to this field. Iam unattached emotionally enough to handle the tough times which usually occurs from me. But I see it as my learning curve and it reassure me to always trust my intuition. I certainly lost more than I gain in the field but I'm making great progress and my loses is gone i like to feel as I'm not building to get my money back but to just get better and gain and build with a zen patience. Im growing and up 20k for the last 2 weeks steadily climbing.

One thing I learned was situational call/put in and out. No long holding. Momentum trades. Take the gains and run.

I have extreme focus. I have spent countless hours developing spreadsheets to give my trading and stocks picking an edge. I’m also very fast to read charts and identify what price action is saying. I probably should be more flexible in looking at the bigger picture.

This was needed. Thank you.

Thanks Victor

Brilliant video. Thanks a lot SMB!!! Really needed this for my trading... which is currently not so great. But I am willing to put in the work to improve my game, and Brett gave me a lot of inspiration to analyze my mistakes. I would say my strengths are definitely analytical... I'm strictly a technical trader and I'm very good at picking up patterns, whether it's a trend, range, breakout, etc. I'm not sure whether I'm more of a fast or deep thinker... but I'll lean on deep. My weaknesses are emotional. AKA my temperament. I tend to take losses very personally... I let my losses take over me which have led me into losing streaks that spiraled into a blown account. And that is the #1 thing I need to work on if I ever plan on being consistently successful. Impatience is also a big one for me. A lot of times I will want to rush a setup just for the sake of being in the market. That's all for now. Cheers!

Your emotional situation is a disastrous disorder. It is a borderline illness that must be controlled and extremely difficult. You are born with that mindset. Please proof me wrong by cleaning up your act and get it together and grow up some. On the plus side, you are gifted with the deep thinking abilities. Please use that to foresee and visualize your weakness thus suppressing or controlling your emotion. I wish you perfect it and became better person in general and most importantly a successful, financially independent individual.

thank you, was helpful
