TRADING GOALS AND ITS IMPORTANCE!

A trading goal not written down is still only a thought.

ACTION SPEAKS VOLUME !

Do you think writing down your Trading goals is essential to achieving them?

I do.

Because I have used it and know what it feels not to have a TRADING GOAL & how it works. I don't remember how it started, but it's something I do recommend for everyone.

Here’s 5 reasons why:

1) It forces you to clarify what you want. knowing what currency to trade, and what Appropriate time to enter.

2) It will motivate you to take action at the right time. you know TIMING is KEY 🔑 when trading.

Having trading goals set is great, but taking action is the only way to achieve them.


3) It provides a filter for other opportunities. Set time for other things as well.

The more successful you become, the more opportunities will present themselves.( READ AGAIN SLOWLY)

4) It will help you overcome resistance, OVER TRADING or under TRADING.

Every time you strive to achieve a goal you’ll also encounter resistance.

Focusing on the resistance (procrastination, lack of time, etc) only makes it stronger.

5) It helps you celebrate your progress. even if your daily growth or targets is $10, it is worth celebrating

Perhaps the most important reason to write down your trading goals is the feeling you get when you cross that goal off your to-do list.


I hope this helps someone out there!

TRADING PLAN 01

I. Review your trading goals: Review your trading goals on a regular basis. The bare minimum should be once per week, but I actually recommend looking at them first thing in the morning and a couple more times throughout the day.   Consistently reading your goals acts a reminder for why you need to complete certain tasks and how they’re tied into your long-term plans. ( If you intend to become a Professional trader). Develop the habit of creating project lists for every goal.( example : when is the right time to enter a trade, right time to exist as well). List each action in the correct order and be sure to include any daily habits that are required.
