Perhaps first start by asking yourself this question. “What does poor performance look like ?”

Invariably it could look like this

  • Mindset geared to coping with challenges rather than being wired to look for opportunities.

  • Trading other people’s strategies.

  • Entering a trade late or not at all.

  • .Turning off a stop to double up.

  • Not knowing Why you trade.

  • Not defining your trading day.

  • Stressed decision-making, overtrading, and boredom trading.

  • Lack of self-belief and habit to dwell on missed opportunities.

  • Being driven by the need for riches and desperation to make money.

  • No attention to process if one even exists.

  • Screen stare.

  • Low awareness of the bigger picture and peripheral risks.

  • Low self-worth and self-doubt.

  • Not having the mental agility to say ‘I’m wrong’ and move on.

  • No rigid programme of self-management.

  • No rigid programme to develop your mental capital.

  • No life balance.

  • A sense of being siloed and stuck in a rut.

We know how bad ‘poor’ performance feels, it can drag us down, make us ill and switch us off from the market and our family. It severely lessons the chance of making alpha.
