When you are a trader it can be very lonely at times. When I first started and I was studying online I felt I needed a community to help me along on my journey. It always helps to know that there are others that have walked in your shoes or can sympathize with what you are going through and the emotions you might be feeling.
Just like when someone goes through a divorce, they feel like them might be the only person that is feeling this pain and difficulty in life. The reality is that many people have dealt with divorce. If you speak with others it can help lift you out of your personal funk and downward pyschological spiral.
All that said a trading community can help you with your trading in my opinion.
Connect with a community
There are more trading chat rooms and trading rooms and stock education platforms out there in which you can share with others. I know that for me the first community of traders I entered was a filled with a bit too much testosterone and one up man ship. Who was the best? That mindest was not the best for me because it made me feel poorly if I had an error in the beginning.
I then reset and joined a second trading community that offered 3 different points of views instead of just one traders viewpoint. This really helped me to learn that your winning strategy has to mesh with your capital that you can commit, your timeframe you can commit and your risk tolerance.
This acceptance by a community of traders virutally is great, however having a chance to meet with them in person is even more fulfilling. That was the whole reason why I developed the Modern Traders Summit.
Modern Traders Summit
The Basis of the Modern Traders Summit is for traders to come together in a real life atmosphere to share their experiences, their techniques and connect in person. The first trading seminar I went to was a year and a half into my day trading career and afterwards I realized that if I had visited one in the first 6 months I could have streamlined my learning curve.
So in 2018 the Modern Traders Summit was born to bring positive traders to speak to other traders and interact. This is not your sales pitch type summit it is to help other traders and really allow you time in person with some bigger names in the trading world. There will also be a live trading day on the second day so you can see them in action. No putting them up on a pedestal, they are right there with you to help you.
This year it will be held in Philadelphia Sunday and Monday July 12,13th right in downtown by city hall. Seats are limited and selling out quickly, so make sure to reserve yours before we sell out.
The Power of Positivity
There are two methods of thinking the Glass Half Full or the Glass Half Empty. Do you have the scarcity mindset? Do you worry about not having enough money or enough free time? You have the ability to change that and it comes with the people that you surround yourself with on a daily basis.
If you find yourself in a trading room that does not fulfill your positive thought tank of yourself or your thoughts then maybe you need to assess if it is the best for you. I know I went through that in the beginning of my day trading.
You can beat yourself up or you can have environment that says hey learn from your mistakes you are along the way in your journey. You are new or learning a new strategy be kind to yourself and know that no one was perfect at the start.
There is so much pyschology in Trading and if your trading community isnt giving you the ability to self reflect in a positive way, then do you want to stay there?
I mean do you think that Surgeons knew just what to do their first day of medical school. I highly doubt it and you do yourself an injustice when you look yourself in the mirror and you tell yourself you suck or your are awful because you had a bad trade.
All that being said I want to tell you the traders that I mesh with the most in their positive environments.
