Most mentors have no clue about real trading psychology, they pretend to know it, only to convince their new customers  "that they know something".

 

If you want to learn real trading psychology, the real mccoy is in these psychology blogs that I have read.The mentors are internet marketeers , who  are the blind leading the blind, so I go directly to the Doctors in psychology and the researchers in trading psychology.

 

There are many snake oil sites full of nonsense, on the internet, here are the blogs that are most kosher/halal.Many traders will find them useful, they will also reveal many truths necessary for profitable trading.

Dr Steenbarger, who I know about, is not my Guru,  he has some interesting stuff,  I like Dr Andrew Menaker.

As regards the article, he just throws darts, blindfolded with total bs........................but here is the answer  in this post below .It contradicts what Brett Steenbarger says.The trading industry is the blind leading the blind.Ask Dr Steenbarger to operate multiple methods,  knowing the market can do anything, it can change at anytime, then he can get some experience of the real world.This is all nonsense from him, because a trader should be ready for anything.He has missed the wood from the forest of psychology.

K I S S  KEEP SYSTEMS SIMPLE STUPID KISS principle

 

Dr Van Tharp “I can answer that question on a number of levels. At the most basic level, people must trade by processing information. Unfortunately, we’re not very efficient information processors. We have a lot of biases that enter into trading decisions. "

 

Your trading method /system must be Simple, because trading is a stressful mental activity.You method system must involve very low stress and emotional risks, it should be trade able  when market turns or changes.

Correct, a system should be simple but we must be prepared for market changes such as a switch to low volatility or a switch in the directional trend of a market, the market is always in flux, it's just a question of time scale. Therefore there is a need to recognise current market conditions and apply a suitable system designed to suit while those conditions endure and that perseverance in a system not suited to current market conditions will damage both the trader and the account. Makes sense to me.

    • Market Breakdown | WTI Oil, EURUSD, GBPNZD, EURAUDHere are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watchlist.1️⃣ WTI Oil daily time frame️The market is trading in a long term bearish trend .After the last sharp bearish movement, the market is steadily recovering.Ahead, I see a major horizontal supply area.Probabilities are high, that the next bearish wave will initiate from there.2️⃣ EURUSD daily time frameAfter a breakout of a solid daily resistance, the market is preparing for its retest.Watch carefully the underlined zone and look for buying opportunities from there.3️⃣ EURAUD weekly time frameThe pair is currently approaching a weekly horizontal resistance cluster.Taking into consideration, that the pair is quite overbought, probabilities will be high to see a pullback from that4️⃣ GBPNZD daily time frameThe pair is currently retesting a broken neckline of an ascending triangle . As we discussed earlier, the trend line of a triangle and its neckline compose a contracting buy zone now.Chances will be high that the next bullish wave will initiate quite soon.For Additional confirmation use: Divergence Indicators
    • #CHFJPY: Classic Bearish Setup 🇨🇭🇯🇵   🔻CHFJPY has nicely respected a confluence zone based on a horizontal 4H resistance and a 0.5 retracement of the last bearish impulse.   The price formed a double top pattern on that and broke its neckline.   Probabilities will be high that the pair will drop lower soon. Goals: 141.172 / 140.363
