Day Trading - Learning - Winning & Losing

Winning:

The urge to learn, to compete, and win belongs to everyone. This drive to win is found in every cell of your being and underlies everything you do. It’s at the core of every business, every relationship, and every sporting game, including the game of day trading - and, you got it, the Day Traders Win game for consistently winning day traders.

The drive to win is all about the drive to survive (procreate and replicate – the continuation of the species). We do whatever we need to do to survive (win) - to stay alive long enough to pass on our genes, knowledge, and wealth, fighting at times to the death over mates, knowledge, and money. We live competitively to fulfill our purpose – to survive, to learn, to have - and then use all that to help others survive, learn, and have their aspirations realized.

Yet we are never 100% satisfied. We always want to learn and have more.

Why?

We learn to survive and strive; yet our brains are never totally satisfied. It’s not even possible to be fully satisfied. Why? Living is about learning and helping others learn. It's the ongoing never ending game of life that, when more become aware, this world will become a much better place for all to live.

Winning helps us come close to being satisfied, temporarily. When you win you satisfy your brain (dopamine, the chemical released in response to winning) and you feel good, having pleasurable emotions and conversations. The urge to win is the urge to learn, the urge to feel good – to feel “more alive”.

To feel alive is why we risk. We risk to learn to win – at the casino, at war, in relationships, in business, and in the game of day trading.

We know of no other game on the planet that allows as much winning as our game - the Day Traders Win game.

Losing:

Conversely, the fear of losing brings on unpleasant feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and stress. The nervous system releases another chemical, adrenaline, giving us a need to fight or to take flight – in trading, fear gets you out prematurely, resentment and anger in losing make you want to recklessly get your money back (get even). All distractions - all drains on your energy. Too much stress weakens the immune system, overburdens the heart, and, yes, excess stress can kill you.

There is no other game like Day Traders Win game where losing is so rewarding. Yes, rewarding. Our losing is so infrequent, so temporary, so insignificant, and yes rewarding - as you are now free for real opportunities to trade to learn to win. No brooding, no pain, no suffering - losing becomes just another step toward winning. When we lose a trade in our game, it's small, fast, and fleeting - we are now free to move on to win.

The way we learn to trade is both challenging and energizing. Our approach to trading allows us to conserve our energy, minimizes our stress, and it allows us to develop the instincts for winning - consistently winning.

This is your opportunity to learn to win - to trade with unlimited potential for building wealth and, as a consistent winner, to feel alive.
