The Tao Of Trading
For best results, dim the lights, light an aromatic candle, sit cross-legged
with your fingertips gently touching, close your eyes and try to envision
the pip.
Breathe deeply, slowly in and out, as you get in touch with the sensitive,
hidden trader within..
(Let's listen in as you meditate along with your trading guru)
You: I believe trading is a process.
Guru: Good. You are reaching your calm inner place, my child. Keep your
focus. Envision the pip.
You: I believe in proven methodology.
Guru: Excellent! Affirmations will only strengthen your inner resolve.
You: I believe one bad trade is just that.
Guru: Positivism is the sign of an enlightened soul. Keep breathing deeply.
You: I believe I can trade with confidence.
Guru: You're getting close now. Feel the love. Abundance is yours.
You: I believe I am or will be a successful trader.
Guru: You are reaching the deepest essence of the markets.
You: I believe I can identify and execute winning trades.
Guru: Yes, yes. Keep going deeper. Focus on your breathing.
You: I believe I can be successful, without being perfect.
Guru: Only God is perfect. You are mortal, but G*d shares pips with those
who believe.
You: I believe I can achieve excellent results in my trading.
Guru: You are getting stronger now. Your trading aura is brightening.
You: I believe I am personally responsible for my trading results.
Guru: Responsibility is a sign of enlightenment. Perfection is within your
reach.
You: I believe my trading performance does not reflect on my self-worth.
Guru: God loves all traders, and you are a trader.
You: I believe that by believing in myself, I possess the ultimate trading
edge.
Guru: You and the pip are becoming as one.
You: I believe this #!%&&!! indicator had better come back in my direction,
right now!!!
Guru: Whoops! You opened your eyes, my child. Always remember to use stops
and limits while meditating. And don't forget to write down your trades
before assuming the lotus position. Please replenish your trading account
and start over. Visa or Mastercard?
