Stumbling Blocks Are Killing Your Trading

Let’s not kid around. If something’s standing between you and making money in the markets, it needs to go.

Fast.

These little trading stumbling blocks might seem harmless, but they’re dragging you down more than you realise. Which ones are you guilty of?

1. Trading Apnoea.

(Yeah, I coined that phrase - but it’s a real thing.) Most traders stop breathing the second they place a trade. Tension skyrockets. Logic shuts down. Panic takes over. If you can’t even breathe properly while you’re trading, how do you expect to think straight?

Solution: Breathe. Deep. Often. Like your results depend on it - because they do.

2. Talking Your Book.

Blabbing about your open trades is a rookie move. It feeds your ego. It locks you into needing to be "right" instead of reading the market properly. No one else’s opinion matters — not your spouse, not your mate, not some random online. Let the market be the only judge.

3. Ignoring the Trades You Didn’t Take.

The ones you skipped could be the missing link you need. Did a trade you passed on go on to perform beautifully? Find the pattern. Spot the opportunity you missed - and build it into your future entries.

Here's the truth: If you don't ruthlessly hunt down your trading weaknesses, they'll hunt you. Identify your stumbling blocks. Smash them.

Then watch how much faster you move.
