Bad days in the world of trading happen. While some “gurus” may try and portray this is not the case, it’s a lie. I recently had a bad day last week and wanted to use that as an example to help in answering this question and sharing my thoughts on how to build and maintain mental toughness when it comes to being a trader. I realize “mental toughness” is simply a random/broad statement, but I go into more detail in terms of how to accomplish a mindset for success.
The frustration starts with a very annoying day. See how the below image played out live by clicking HERE.
The awesome benefits of being surrounded by other traders in a community. I was made aware of ALNY the next morning in the chat room.
And just like that, within the first 30 minutes of the day, I was already well ahead of where the ENTIRE previous day’s outcome was.
That was only the first 30 minutes. By the end of the day, things were looking that much better.
Even with the bad and annoying day, the overall week still turned out just fine.
