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 mindset 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 virtually 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 psychology in Trading and if your trading community isn’t 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.

Hi, there’s a lot more to trade him than people think. I have tried learning about it myself in the past several times, and I found it to be Too overwhelming. I find it boring as heck be honest. I think having a community that you can meet with especially in person is a very good idea. You have to be careful about Whose advice you were following, all in all, I like your advice about getting into a community for beginners. Just make sure that you choose the right to community, and patience is the name of the game.
Jake you are 100% correct. You need to find a community and mentor to help you along in your journey that will be honest with you when you make a mistake and support you to keep you positive in your learning
You are so right about the power of having a community around you for a business like day-trading or online trading from home. It is the same with many such jobs these days. You work alone and have no one to talk to or get some answers from. The suggestions for the best online community for beginners to consider look very promising.
The one that most attracted me was the Real Life Trading community. That positivity is something that would be most welcomed by me and I am sure it will help keep me going and I likely will learn a lot too. That is the one I will try too. I have bookmarked the article so I can try some of the others as well, going forward.
I also like the summit idea. So much can be learned at these conferences and you can meet people that take the business to a whole new level for you. I wish you the best with your own upcoming summit and I am sure you will get a lot of people that will sign up. If I was closer I would be there for sure!
I found this content highly educational because I didn’t know much about trading and where to go for easy to follow strategies. The information on trading rooms was valuable. I’ve noted them and will follow up further on three of the links. Thanks for sharing all this detail that you may have accumulated through your own experience.
Hi Jane,
I have tried to teach myself trading on and off over the years. I have books but it’s not my preferred way of learning. I remember starting in early 2008 because I wanted to make a go of it from home because I was pregnant and thought it would be a good idea to develop a strategy to work from home. Then we all know what happened around that time. We lost over 50% of everything we put in as a result of the GFC. Then I suppose I lost all my confidence. I still have some stock but honestly I don’t know what I’m doing and even when I try to get back into I just don’t have the energy there. I think it’s because I’m doing it on my own and I need to ask questions but have no one to go to.
I”m truly a beginner so I do need support and that’s why I haven’t made progress I think. Lack of skills together with lack of confidence in my ability doesn’t add up to a success story without some additional help. Joining a community for beginners is exactly what I need I think. I’ll investigate your recommended groups and see which one/s gel with me.
Thanks Jane. Your site is going to be a great resource for me.
Cheers
Melissa
