Are you haphazardly buying and selling without a trading plan in place? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trading your hard-earned money is an emotional rollercoaster. Therefore, it&#8217;s important to exercise self-discipline and keep your emotions at bay. According to author and trading consultant Mark Douglas, this requires that you simultaneously do two things: redirect negative thoughts and emotions, and execute the system you\u2019ve established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to develop discipline in trading, according to Douglas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-monitor-and-redirect-negative-thoughts\">Monitor and Redirect Negative Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first part of exercising self-discipline in trading involves closely monitoring your thoughts and emotions. Douglas claims the process of becoming a consistently successful trader is psychological, so you must stay alert to any thought that causes you to doubt your system, yourself, or the market. As we\u2019ve discussed, any time fear surfaces, you become vulnerable to making errors. Therefore, <strong>if you detect any fear or negative thoughts,<\/strong> <strong>gently redirect your thoughts to the core beliefs that all successful traders internalize<\/strong>, which we\u2019ve already covered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Eliminating risk is impossible.<\/li><li>Each market outcome is unique and random.<\/li><li>You can never know or control what will happen next.<\/li><li>You can make money regardless of individual outcomes.<\/li><li>When you have an edge, every loss brings you closer to a win.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Douglas, <strong>by routinely redirecting negative thoughts, you can create the mental conditions that allow you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-get-in-the-zone\/\">enter the zone<\/a><\/strong>. Then, you\u2019ll see market activity as just neutral information, telling you what the odds are for success or failure. In other words, <strong>you\u2019ll view the market from a truly objective perspective, seeing it not as a threat but as a source of unlimited opportunities to win and profit.<\/strong> As a result, Douglas says, you won\u2019t be inclined to distort or deny information based on what you\u2019re afraid will happen. Instead, you\u2019ll act without hesitation even in the face of constant uncertainty\u2014with the appropriate amount of restraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Research on How to Control Negative Thoughts<\/strong><br><br>Douglas suggests you can\u2014and should\u2014willfully redirect negative thoughts, but research suggests this might not be so easy. Psychologists agree with Douglas that persistent negativity can be harmful and can prevent you from entering the zone and viewing events objectively. However, they say that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/melodywilding\/2016\/08\/15\/forget-positive-thinking-this-is-how-you-actually-change-negative-thoughts\/?sh=500593156c46\">glossing over these negative thoughts and feelings with positive thinking is only a temporary fix<\/a>. Positive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/affirmation-and-visualization-7-habits\/\">affirmations<\/a> operate at the surface level of conscious thinking, leaving negative thoughts rooted at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-subconscious\/\">the subconscious<\/a> level undisturbed. This means that ultimately, you\u2019d still risk falling short of the calm, objective, restrained mindset that Douglas recommends.<br><br>If positive affirmations aren\u2019t enough to tackle your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/change-your-negative-mindset\/\">negative mindset<\/a>, here are some steps you can take to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-empower-yourself\/\">empower yourself<\/a> to think more positively and achieve the mindset Douglas says is essential to be a winning trader:<br><br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbescoachescouncil\/2016\/05\/09\/13-coaches-explain-how-to-overcome-negative-thought-patterns\/?sh=460f9b5b35cb\"><strong>Have designated \u201cnegative thought time<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d Commit 10 minutes every day to stewing on negative thoughts. When you know you\u2019ve got time set aside to review lingering fears and concerns, you\u2019re less likely to let them dominate the rest of your day.<br><br>&#8211; <strong>Write down your negative thoughts<\/strong>. Writing helps purge negative thoughts so you have more mental space to move forward and think positively.<br><br>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterup.com\/blog\/automatic-thoughts\"><strong>Consider what you\u2019d say to your best friend<\/strong><\/a>. If your friend were experiencing the same negative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/thoughts-feelings-and-behaviors\/\">thoughts and feelings<\/a>, what would you say to them? This technique can help you see things more objectively.<br><br>&#8211; <strong>Ask yourself some questions<\/strong>. Research shows that asking ourselves questions rather than issuing commands is a more effective way to create change because it triggers the problem-solving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-are-the-regions-of-the-brain\/\">areas of the brain<\/a>. For instance, ask yourself, \u201cWhat\u2019s a different way to think about this?\u201d<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-execute-over-time\">Execute Over Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The second part of exercising self-discipline in trading involves <strong>perfectly implementing the system you\u2019ve established<\/strong>, resisting any temptation to make adjustments. According to Douglas, <strong>by staying disciplined in your thoughts and actions, you\u2019ll accumulate positive experiences that align with your objectives and the beliefs you want, <\/strong>thereby reducing interference from fear, doubt, and negative interpretations of your experiences. Then, you\u2019ll see the market objectively, perceive opportunities clearly, and achieve consistent success. All internal resistance will be gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Can positive experiences offset negative experiences, as Douglas says? Researchers say yes: Studies show that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/blog\/the-right-mindset\/202010\/10-ways-apply-the-3-1-positivity-ratio\">it takes three positive experiences to offset one negative experience<\/a>. Why do we need more positive experiences to outweigh the effect of a single negative experience? Our brains have a built-in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/negativity-bias-definition-examples\/\">negativity bias<\/a><\/em> that causes us to perceive or overinflate negativity, even when a situation is positive or neutral, and dwell on negative events more than positive ones.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, if you incur a trading loss, Douglas says your best course of action is to continue trading according to the rules you\u2019ve established in your system (assuming your system is sound). As market activity unfolds, you\u2019re sure to win over the long term due to the probabilistic nature of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the dynamic nature of the market, Douglas notes, you\u2019ll likely need to adjust your trading variables and rules at <em>some<\/em> point. Any edge you define is based only on a single moment in time. As market activity unfolds\u2014and traders come and go\u2014the effectiveness of your system may decline. However, you need to give your current system a chance to work. <strong>Remember: You need a large enough sample size for probabilities to play out in your favor<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How many trades are enough to test your variables? <strong>Douglas recommends a sample size of at least 20 trades<\/strong>. Then, if needed, you should make adjustments and complete your next 20 trades using the new set of variables. By trading in sample sizes, you\u2019ll be able to accommodate changes while maintaining a steady approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Some Investment Experts Dispute Douglas\u2019s Advice<\/strong><br><br>Many investment experts dispute Douglas\u2019s assertion that a sample size of 20 trades\u2014or even 100 trades\u2014is sufficient to judge whether or not a trading strategy works. Instead, they recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equities.com\/news\/the-myth-about-small-forex-sample-sizes\">automated trading, which allows you to execute and assess the profitability of 1000 trades or more<\/a> in a short time frame. A high trading volume and short turnaround time allow you to quickly determine if you have an edge and make adjustments as needed.<br><br>Other experts advise against making individual investments on your own altogether. Given the random, unpredictable nature of the market, they say it\u2019s unlikely you have an edge\u2014no matter which analysis strategy you use. Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evidenceinvestor.com\/many-investors-think-edge\/\">they recommend that you put your money in a passively managed index fund<\/a>, which doesn\u2019t require you to actively manage your investments. Investments are chosen automatically to match an index with the intention to keep pace with market returns by mirroring certain market segments.&nbsp;<br><br>Ultimately, though, there\u2019s no consensus among financial experts about which investment strategy is best, so be sure to choose carefully when you\u2019re deciding how to invest your money.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you struggle to stick to your trading rules because emotions get in the way?
