How Susan Used Trading to Lighten Her Student Loan Burden

Shuffling between spreadsheets at her full-time job in a bustling New York City office and the charts of her trading platform, Susan found her rhythm in the chaos. Trading was not her primary career, but it was quickly becoming a passion that sparked excitement in her routine life.

Enrolling in our self-paced course gave her the structured approach she craved. She squeezed in studying candlestick patterns and market trends during lunch breaks and practised executing trades after her office hours.

The road was not always smooth. Losses, at times, seemed to outweigh the wins, and she questioned her decision to step into the trading world. But Susan chose to treat these moments as learning opportunities, not failures.

As she started to understand the markets better, the tides began to turn. Susan saw small but consistent profits in her trades, validating her perseverance and dedication.

The real feather in her cap was when she managed to pay off a chunk of her student loans with her trading profits. This success was not just about monetary achievement; it reflected the value of commitment and discipline in trading.

Speaking about her achievement, Susan said, "Trading has allowed me to ease my financial burdens. The satisfaction of using my trading profits to pay off my student loans is immeasurable. It's about the independence and self-reliance that trading has offered me."

Susan's journey is proof that trading is not exclusive to professionals in the finance world. With consistency, discipline, and a willingness to learn, anyone can leverage trading to better their financial situation. As we celebrate Susan's victory, let's remain inspired to carve out our own success stories.

It's Not About the Millionaire Mirage

This week, we're tackling a steamy myth that's been floating around more times than the aroma in a coffee shop at dawn: "Making it as a trader means becoming a millionaire." Time to sip on some reality!

Myth: Making it as a trader means becoming a millionaire.
Reality: Success in trading is about personal growth, consistency, and your own version of financial independence, not just a seven-figure bank account.

While trading lures many with its millionaire-making allure, this is an oversimplified view of what success means. Let's stir this up with some freshly ground truths:

1. Consistency: If you're growing your account consistently, even if it's not by thousands each month, you're successful. In trading, a track record of consistent growth is a trophy in itself.
2. Personal Growth: The personal skills you develop — patience, discipline, decision-making acumen, and emotional control — are integral parts of trading success.
3. Personalized Financial Independence: Success in trading might mean achieving your own version of financial independence. For some, it might mean making enough to quit their day job. For others, it might mean having extra income to finance their child's education or even retire early. It doesn't necessarily require a million-dollar portfolio.

Remember, every trader's journey and end goal is unique. Your success isn't about owning a gold-plated coffee machine — it's about making a brew that's perfect for you.

Unlocking the Mystery: How Emotional Beliefs F*ck Your Trading Performance

Last week we explored the notion that the invisible force that seems to push you off course in your trading psyche comes from deep-seated beliefs about money. Today I want to go deeper into what are the deep-seated beliefs about your self-worth and money that are affecting your trading.

Often, struggling traders are caught in certain belief patterns that link their feelings of safety in uncertain situations (survival) with their views on money. These beliefs are reflected in your trading decisions and, by extension, your trading account. The state of your trading account can prompt you to examine these beliefs that otherwise remain hidden. See this as a puzzle, and you're the detective.
