The expectations you hold yourself to are the basis for your performance in any field or area. Holding yourself to the highest standards in trading will be key for your long-term trading success. Holding yourself to a low standard leads to below average results and long term stagnation.
Here I have attempted to codify the ideal set of expectations you should have for yourself as a trader. Its your responsibility to hold yourself to the highest standards. Few people have the grit to do it for you.
Here I have defined an expectation as: The quality or condition of a thing that is required for the individual to be able to accept it in the future.
I expect myself to be consistently profitable
I expect myself not to become overwhelmed by big wins or losing streaks
I expect myself to effectively analyse the markets and apply my strategy
I expect myself to master and fully understand the key retail trading concepts
I expect myself to sensibly manage my risk
I expect myself to succeed and win regardless of the market conditions
I expect myself to take trading seriously and devote time to develop the ability to identify high quality trading opportunities and act appropriately when Infront of the charts
I expect myself to overperform in the markets
I expect myself to do what it takes to become successful in this area
I expect myself to make the best decisions in the markets.
I expect to keep winning, regularly + repeatedly
When an individual has been trading for a long time, has a good strategy and understands the basics of the market but still isn't consistently profitable under good market conditions. The issue will lie with their mindset, Their expectations of themselves, Their performance and the activity of trading itself.
