A Super Trader Is Born

Note: This week's Market Outlook was covered by Optionetics.com.au's Sinan Koray.

Are you a Super Trader? Does your trading income exceed your ability to spend? If so, then read no further. For everyone else, I want to open this possibility. How? Through your mind. Firstly bring to your mind a Super Trader, someone you know or someone you heard about.

You can't just say it took that person three weeks (or three months) to start making $40,000 a month, because you do not know that person's subjective world. You do not know what process got them to that point of success. You do not know what got them to the point where they could surrender themselves to a different way of seeing the markets. What appears to have taken weeks could be that person's journey to acceptance of their methods.

Consider for a moment your present state of mind in contrast to your inner drive to become a Super Trader. What will it take to make the change? For some people the transition and the steps is a clear-cut move. They make the break. They understand what is needed. They begin to gain knowledge and apply that knowledge.

Other people need to have their system fall apart. They have to go through the disruption of the aspect of their personality that keeps everything intact and in order. The tragedy, in one sense, is the death of an old self. This death allows a birth, which can be a difficult and painful process.

What is painful about it? More than anything else you are no longer producing the same thoughts that produce the same results. You are breaking the pattern. This is an uncomfortable state for the human being because he or she can't connect to any person, place, thing or event. The discomfort gives them a sense of separation. This is hard because you look for evidence in your life that you are doing the right thing.

But wherever you look, you find people who only relate to the old you. You can't even turn and talk to those people because they are going to ask you to go back to the same person as before so they can fulfill their own expectations of you.

If you have the knowledge to understand the difficult process, then you can ride all the way through it and you will begin to understand that a new self is emerging.

Those old patterns will literally crumble. This will give them the opportunity to give birth to the new self. That new self will have a whole new set of people in their life equal to who you become.

A Super Trader is born.
