Reactionary demise

Most problems stem from sliding from anticipatory problem-solving to a reactionary one. In trading, this principle violation is no different.

As soon as you get caught in a string of responses to triggered emotions, you are assured of compounding losses in the speculative world of markets.

While you can't influence most mechanisms surrounding you where society has fallen prey to reactionary problem-solving, waiting for disasters first to happen before reacting to them, you have a choice to change your behavior.

The biggest culprit why you have yet to do so to the extent necessary for successful market participation is that the majority of individuals have been spending their lives in hiding, a scarcity-based behavior in a society that doesn't embrace truth.


To put it mildly, stepping outside these typical behavior forms and confronting oneself to the extent of admitting one's shortcomings in detail requires a brave effort.


The solutions are scheduled sequence blocks of anticipatory Q&A segments that provide answers in a vast field of unknowns in a probability fashion to get a heads up, which avoids reactionary actions that are emotionally triggered and are useless in a counterintuitive environment like the market.


In our specific case, we avoid price action triggering emotional behavior in the following ways:


The daily call (a probability-based assessment outside market hours ahead of the following day's price action which guides through clearly implemented rules on what not to do and, as such, reduces the toolbox massively for the upcoming session and, as such, limits faulty execution immensely)


chart time frames 15 minutes and up(the exclusion of small time frames and overwhelming data packages reduces data fatigue and allows for more focused trade execution and longer perios of market exposure of oneself without running out of energy)


Set it and forget it (our pre-prep approach for trades requiring a defined rule set of probabilities like identification of low-risk entry spots and consequential risk-reward ratios supports minimalistic participation after a trade entry with the market. While most traders are caught once in a trade in the in principle reactionary process for trade management and exit management, our anticipatory approach allows for a near-automated process that allows for the trader to walk away from the screen or focus on other trade instruments without the mental strain to participate emotionally with every up and down tick burdening the curious mind on how the trade might end-a function unnecessary since individual trades are random and meaningless but rather only sample sizes bring forward the truth of a successful systematic approach.)


The Quad exit (a specially constructed exit method that allows for a natural, human psyche supporting, taking profit methodology which frees the mind to see the various stages of a trade with a balanced mind versus the typical "all or nothing" approach)


To name a few.


In short, two things are needed to optimize good trade execution:


An open mind towards self-discovery and a neverending commitment to self-improvement since only an abundant thinking human can step with the required self-confidence and discipline into the market, and a diligently crafted map of probability evaluations of oneself and the market in an anticipatory fashion that overrules any emotionally triggered execution behavior but instead leads to a pure rule-based execution that follows one's original plan.
