If everyone has access to the same information and tools (indicators, brokers etc.), why is there such a large disparity between the percentage of people who are profitable traders and those who aren’t?
 
The answer is this: most traders lose long before a trade is executed in the market.
 
When most traders come into the market, they learn the technical and fundamental aspects of trading, but failing to realize that the technical skills can only get them so far, they spend very little time developing an understanding of their own psychology. They go into their trading day clouded with anxiety, fear of loss, negative expectation, the need to make money, and, especially, the need to make up for prior losses.
 
In order for you to succeed as a trader, you must understand that the market is not the only factor of focus. It’s also your mind and brain. So, you have to build an inter-connective bridge between your trading plan (market) and psychology plan (mind & brain) in order to be successful.
 
This isn’t something that can be ignored if you intend on becoming consistently profitable. Have no worries though, as Mastering the Mental Edge of Trading is going to teach you tools and techniques for understanding yourself which will close the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.
