Quantum Physics: What creates the world? ENERGY Can never be created or destroyed, it always was, always has been, everything that ever existed always exits, its moving into form, through form and out of form.

Human Being (Investor/Trader)

Mental Mentalis All the mind of Man Ment = Mind of man Alis = All Brainwave generator - Unleash the power of the mind Mark Douglas in Trading in the Zone Mental analysis NEW Mind-set

To think differently

Psychological gap Gap is between understanding trader psychology and the psychology of the markets. If you can understand this GAP then you can transform that knowledge in to trading profit.

MENTAL TRADING
Desire - Learning - Plan - Inspired action(Personal Power) Discipline + Visualisation = Success Success: 8 Div: Spiritual, family&relationships, intellectual, physical, financial, social, career&business, rest&relaxation

It is impossible to fail as long as you learn something. For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward. Jim Rohn
There is no such thing as failure, unless accepted as such by the human mind. Napoleon Hill

New Paradigm for success

What is your perception of success ?

Ultimate success Not what you achieve,

but who you become in the process

The work we were born to do (Nick Williams)

Paradigms for success

Old paradigm for success Success is outer New paradigm for success Success is an inner experience We are complete Success as contribution Success is about giving our heart and receiving in abundance Our thoughts are creative. We are creative beings All physical reality has a non-physical essence We are all interconnected, part of the web of life. The basis of everything apparently physical and separate is

We are incomplete and lacking. We want success to complete us. Success as compensation We want success to get something We have to act on the world to make things happen Physical reality is all there is We are separate from the world around us

Paradigms for success

Its basically an unfriendly world The universe is friendly Not everyone can win, we have to fight and Every being can experience success . struggle Our success is achieved at someone elses Success can be graceful and is created expense and involves suffering Were limited Life is random Success is rigid Success is needed to prove worth and esteem Always wanting more, more is better Were unlimited Life has meaning and purpose Success is growth and expansion Worth and esteem are integral to our being Enough, satisfaction, contentment. Sometimes less is more

WHY DO WE DO THINGS?
Everything in life we do for one of two reasons:
Avoid pain OR Gain pleasure EMOTION

Inspiration

Desperation

Why do you trade? Is it to make money?

What drives us ?
Emotions Feelings

STATE CHANGE
Everything human beings do, is merely an attempt to change the way they feel Anthony Robbins

Goldberg Big Five Factor Personality Model (FFM) 1993

Mind passive, it supplies the environment Memory . leaves a mark on nerve cells Arrangement of information .not perfect (time/sequence of arrival)

Thinking:
Conventional Analytical Deliberate Creative Vertical Lateral Horizontal Parallel Positive Negative

Your thoughts can create anything?

Create our own universal destiny Create our wellbeing Create your everything through your thoughts Your mind is shaping the world around you Your whole life is a manifestation of your thoughts up to now And what you think from here on, will shape your life into the future ..it will become your destiny

BEWARE !!!!!!!!!
Thoughts become things.
You have the ability to think things into being.

You create your own universe as you go along (Winston Churchill) What we think about, will come about (Dr John Demartini)

Beware of negative thoughts They are creations !!!!!!

Energy flows where attention goes. Anything we focus on, we create.

The main purpose of thinking

To abolish thinking (2nd nature)
Automatic pattern recognition system (subconscious)
Lateral/creative thinking To break old patterns Design new ideas/ add value Chart Patterns jump at you .. without thinking .. just automatically there

Engage in Probability Thinking

All possibilities possible Either/ or and both PMI (plus minus interrelated)

APC ( alternatives possibilities choices)

The Thinking Process Valuable Information

10,000 miles of mental energy stretched out, hold one year worth of experiences

At speed of light, 19 years of memories can flash by in one second

Mental environment exist outside of time as we know it Our perception of time..is that we always move forward We have to experience each moment in linear sequence

The Thinking Process

Cant go back and experience the past Cant move forward and experience the future
The past doesnt exist anymore and the future doesnt exist yet What do exist are endless sequences of now moments in which we experience our lives (and that we can trade in)

The Thinking Process

Positive or negatively charged experiences (with emotion) can be recalled easily

Emotion Charge Energy

High intensity energy Pain Pleasure Brain energy time difference - between pain and pleasure Pain or negative experiences feels like a lifetime (slow) Pleasure or positive experiences they fly by (in a flash)

Positive vs. Negative energy

Positive energy
Pleasurable memories Expansive Learning Mental growth Explore Discover Confidence Sunny and is

Subconscious mind

Accepts what the conscious mind believes Regardless

Subjective mind that will become active if conscious or objective mind is in a state of sleep, or drowsiness

(Windhoek lager/Pinotage/Jameson)
Accept all info true / false /positive and negative Bed of soil it absorbs any seed of good or bad

Suggestions to subconscious mind are extremely

powerful Auto-suggestion / Hetero-suggestion

Think good, and good will follow

Subconscious mind
Never sleeps Control vital processes It has the answer to all your problems or challenges

Man is what he thinks all day long

If you have continues thoughts or voices: Discard the thoughts in your head for what they really are:

just noises

Subconscious mind
Mental home of your thoughts and beliefs..thus.

Financial blueprint (financial belief system)

Subconscious mind conviction Money is good or bad Right to be rich Uses the law of attraction

Avoids law of reverse effect

Warning: Do not condemn money it will fly away Use the law of the subconscious day dream effect

Conscious and Subconscious Mind

How to control the conscious mind = TO GET RID OF THE EGO

How to control negative thinking = HOW TO CONTROL FEAR

The EGO

The EGO
Mind: Looks for food / thought / identity and sense of self

EGO: Sense of self / recreates itself . I ,Me and Little Me

Voices in your head Needs constant attention Mind made me Fearing / wanting Seeking / comparing Add to itself

Me against them (competing)

Me against the market

EGO
Recognize the voices in your head for what they are

Recognize that you are not the voices

You are the one noticing the voices. The thinker should be aware of the voices,

and aware that he knows he is the thinker

Spacious Awareness

Gives total Freedom

The Ego and the Spirit

Ego says
Be afraid . Separation from everything Emptiness

Spirit says
There is nothing to fear Connection with all Fullness

Striving and becoming

Needs competition Look out! There is lack and scarcity

Already is now
No need for competition Look in! There is an abundance of all we need

Withholding
Attack and defend Fight and compete Must have by getting

Sharing, extending and giving

No need to attack or defend No need to fight, argue, compare Have in our being, so give

Defend

Surrender

How to get rid of the ego?

Cancel Conscious mind control over the subconscious mind

To transcend into the Now moment

3 Portals or Gateways to the NOW

Inner Body (acute awareness and internal energy) Inner Silence / Stillness (cultivate the silent watcher) Inner focus / Acceptance

How to get rid of the Ego?

1. Become aware of yourself. Aliveness of your body 2. Attention to the moment. An intelligence greater than egotistical mind enters 3. Live in the present moment or in the NOW
There is No argue Clarity and Simplicity Alertness Alignment with life ( move towards the zone) It is just the moment as it is

.. SUCHNESS

of the Moment

NO SELF, NO PROBLEM
Buddhist master

Surrender to the present moment

and the ego cannot survive.

Get it back syndrome

Revenge by the Ego

The Now Moment

In The Now
Life unfolds with ease in the Now

It is deeper than what happens in it

Space in which it happens In the Now

You step out of the content of your mind Your thoughts do not abort your attention anymore There is spaciousness There is stillness You are greater and deeper than your thoughts

The Now moment

You cannot escape from the now

No matter what happens or changes,

it is always now Since you cannot escape the now:
Why not welcome it Live it Embrace it

It is always as it is, .. so just let it be

Fear

FEAR
Fear results from conditions that cause physical and emotional pain Stress Anxiety Confusion Disappointment Conflict between beliefs and reality Perceptual distortion so you build defenses Denial Justifications Rationalization In state of distortion not sharing reality with the markets Illusion hide from the possibility of disappointment

FEAR
Forced awareness Disparity: between mindset and market Leads to breakdown of mental defenses Go in a state of shock

Your fear will become your primary motivation to act - from primary brain, not the tertiary brain and - definitely NOT from the subconscious brain

How fear will create the very experience you are trying to avoid

Perceiving something is a learned distinction Focus on: function of intensity of energy. Fear:
Very high degree of negative energy Profoundly limiting the effect on range of focus Narrows the range to focus on the object of our very fear

FEAR
As Motivator to do something:
Limits your perception Limits your opportunities Narrows down your focus Reduces your attention Redirects your focus on the very FEAR you fear Out of all Information you will only perceive

THUS

info that will validate exactly the object of your fear.

FEAR
The fear will systematically exclude the awareness of alternatives and opportunities Negative relationship between fear and perception Fear will immobilize people they cant act

MOVE TO A NEW MINDSET AND NEW WAY OF THINKING

WE CREATE THE FEAR AND DETERMINE THE BORDERS
IF YOU CREATE IT IN A POSITIVE WAY YOU DO NOT FEAR IT.

How do you control fear?

Take all emotion out of it - write it down - cold and clinical Break it into pieces, make it less threatening Use your power to handle it (power = to take directed action) You grow bigger than your fear
I am

NO PROBLEM CAN WITHSTAND THE POWER OF SUSTAINED THINKING

Control of Fear
Must not loose objectivity Must never avoid fear / dont shy away / turn your back Must not fear FEAR

Recognize and Neutralize fear How do you neutralise fear? Determine, Define, Limit , Control, Embrace it

What is meaning of all this mental junk ???

You determine the stop loss / RISK before you put on the trade, and you do not think about it again ..NEVER . no ... use it as learning experience

THE 4 BIG FEARS Primary fears

1. Fear of being wrong (worse than death - Dr D Paul)

2.
3.

Fear of losing money

Fear of missing out

4.

Fear of leaving money on the table

THE 4 BIG FEARS Primary fears

Hypothesis: Put on a trade, and market moves against you

Focus on market moves against you

Down and back to entry, sigh of relief or sell out Goes down further trader paralysed Mental defences will break down Stress anxiety leads to exit with extreme loss

Focus on loss

Trading with fear

Hypothesis : Market goes with him:
Concentrate on different info Focus on what the market can take away from him Block his potential Exit easily for small profit = Cut profits / run losses Fear lets you act without perception of CHOICE Focus on loosing money

Trust yourself and build up confidence Change restrictive beliefs Create alternatives and choices

How to get rid of fear

Make a positive decision

Repeat action with discipline Simply refuse to acknowledge the existence of the threatening information NAC (Neuro-Associative Conditioning)

How do you break a bad old habit? And install a new empowering habit?
NAC: Neuro Associative Conditioning
1. Leverage: Must change
I must change it I can change it 2. Interrupt old pattern: Radical unusual action or sound 3. Condition in new habit: Do it, do it, do it Discipline

Reinforce and ANCHORING Emotion / pleasure / reward Link to a specific action or sound New behavior and new habit - destiny

Trading with Fear

Traders act as an outer force (the markets) Most traders:

Dont manage their trade Dont want to take responsibility for their outcomes Act on the 4 primary fears Fear will reduce and restrict their choices and objectivity Make their behaviour and actions very predictable Large groups try to do the same (Herd syndrome)

Trading with Fear

Can take advantage of this herd group effect

But beware
Dont be Fooled by randomness / chance / odds Black swan effect (Nassim Nicolas Taleb) The impact of the highly improbable and highly unpredictable Google 9/11

Fear and Hope

Knowledge can eliminate fear
Be independent Have a definite plan Jesse Livermore: Two emotions: Hope and fear

The problem is, you hope when you should fear, and you fear when you should hope.

Risk

Risk in the Market

Risk is everywhere in life Risk also in markets

Risk is intersection between danger and opportunity

Risk involves chance Chance involves odds Odds IS randomness

Think in probabilities to be flexible Fix the risk, to control it and use it positively

How to take a loss

Separate a losing trade from being a loser

Losses: leaves you frustrated, depressed, it interferes with future decision making
Get Market Focused not trader or self focused But can you see losses as part of the greater plan?

If you trade well:

Then there are no losing trades. Only trades that give you money and trades that give you information to make money later.

Losing is winning

Losing = Winning
Taking small predetermined, well educated , well planned

and well calculated losses will:

Make you successful Preserve your capital (to trade another day)

Save your psychological capital

In Technical Analysis:
More than 4 million technical patterns , figures, channels, lines, structures and formations

How to take a Loss

Admit when the market is / turns against you

new and different set of information the other traders changed their minds So it is not a mistake or error, you are not a loser.
You are actually strong with authority you change ..swift, with conviction, strength and clarity You take control over the situation, you do not quit You adjust your position as you would do in any other business in life when circumstances change

Why wait? It is not good business practice to wait !!

A losing trade is like a dead cat.

The longer you keep it the worse

it smells get rid of it

No mistakes in life Just learning experiences

No Mistakes in Trading
Just trading experiences

PAY your DUES

How to Think in Probabilities

How to think in probabilities?

Micro level: - Small sample size - No order - Uncertainty

- Unpredictability
Macro level: - Large enough to sample - Total order

- Certainty
- Predictability Challenge: To think in probabilities. To accept both the Micro and Macro levels at the same time

To think in probabilities
1. Completely accept that you do not know what is going to happen next. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. More importantly: accept that you do not need to know No ego involved Keep odds in your favour (edge) Execute trading model flawlessly, every time, trade after trade Relax: wait for probabilities or edge to play itself out
Only a few and the best can sit on their hands ( Dr David Paul)

To think in probabilities
Cannot predict all the other traders next moves All trades have uncertain outcome, therefore all trades are independent Therefore: Trade in the Now moment Every moment in the market is new and unique If you think in probabilities, then you have accepted all

probabilities / possibilities /chance / odds

To think in probabilities
The degree by which you think you know, or need to know what is going to happen next, that is equal to the degree to which you will fail as a trader.

Everybody wants to be right on every trade every time.

The more the trader tries, the more he will be certain that certainty does not exist.

How to think in probabilities? NEW Mental Mindset Mark Douglas

1. 2. Anything can happen You dont need to know what is going to happen next in order to

make money
3. Random distribution between gains and losses for any given set of variables that define an edge 4. An edge is nothing more than a higher probability of one thing happening over another 5. Every moment in the market is unique

Have an Open Mind

At peace with not knowing interact with market in the Zone

On the same frequency as market

Energy vibration

Make yourself available In the Zone

In the Now moment

Unique outcome

Do not need to know

Think in probabilities

If you believe in uncertainty

Why would you put on a trade without defining and controlling the risk? (stop loss / stop loss)

Why would you hesitate to cut a loss?

If you move that stop loss, you tell the world that You ( the special one ) know what is going to happen next.

Expectations
The market will express itself in a neutral way How will you interpret the information? What mood are you in? What is your personality group?

It is not the markets duty or obligation to make you feel well about yourself .. no ego boosting

Losses are business costs (overheads, cost to do business) Losses are the money I spent to make myself available to the market for the winning trades

Trading Success

7 Steps to Trading Success

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Focus on what you need to learn Deal with losses (define the risk) Expert one (or more) market behaviour Execute trading system flawlessly Think in probabilities Be objective and flexible

7.

Monitor yourself (develop discipline) (diary) (write it down)

Decisions

Sum of all experiences and mental interactions

Experiences = habits = identity = destiny What you do not know and do not learn, becomes obsolete Know what you know and do not know Become the infinite learner Develop self discipline..habit . a mental state

It is not you against them. It is not you against the market

It is just you

Decisions
In the end all decisions are really emotional thinking
(Six Thinking Hats. Edward de Bono)

Red Hat Thinking

Thinking decisions are emotional decisions

Emotional intelligence Functioning of the brain

New developments in Neurobiological data led to a better understanding of the brain as well as human behavior The more you use your brain, the more transmitters are formed between your neuron-conductors which leads to bigger personal potential. Thoughts are instrumental in forming brain patterns. If you want to adopt new behavioral patterns, you will need to start thinking differently.

Emotional intelligence Functioning of the brain

Your brain is made up out of two halves that functions as a whole. The functions of these two parts are highly integrated as we use all the different parts to remember one situation.

The rational and emotional parts of your brain is thus dependent on one another
Your brain profile influences the way in which you recognize and deal with your emotions. This implicates that people with different profiles will react differently on their emotions
