Welcome to another weekly video and I hope you guys had a great weekend this week. Today, I really want to talk about a pretty important topic as well, which is, you know, our habits, our bad habits. And here is the quote that I really like a lot. It's from Bao Twitter, like really long time ago. I can't remember when. Just said here, the first time you make a mistake and it's an accident. The second time you make, you know, it's on purpose. And the third time you make, you know, that same mistake. It's no longer a mistake, but it's a habit. And I think it's so true in many ways. If we just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again, I mean, that's our choice, right? I mean, that's our habits, you know, in a way. And so that's why I want to talk about that today. I think that's basically the main thing, what we are struggling right now, at least is what I'm struggling right now, you know, myself. I mean, that's, you know, happening like almost every single day to me when I'm like, I'm over-trading or like a formal fear of missing out and, you know, greed, ego, or like convictions on, sort of on like, trade. Like I didn't focus on my process, but more like PNL. I was taken by, you know, a move since I was into big. So I'm just gonna go over that and and talk about each one for you guys to have at least an idea, you know, what you're dealing with or how you can, you know, overcome that or like, you know, solve that problem. And so let's go on to it. All right. So first, it's over-trading. I mean, I'm doing it like, like not every day, but it's like, sometimes it just, you know, I get to the point that I think I didn't make enough. And it's like my greed kicking and right. And it was like, I was up like, I don't know, a few hundred bucks in the first 30 or 40 minutes at the opening. And when I'm done with the trade and I said to myself, man, that's not, you know, good enough, right? I need to get in something. I mean, I just need something more. So I was looking for another trade just to be able to make a little bit more to satisfy, you know, my greed, but it turns out to be, you know, like it really turned out to be even worse. So that's, I mean, that's over-trading, right? Usually you take, you know, lesser trades. It's like, it's like you kind of trade on fly more. Like you just think whatever it moves and you just basically jump in, you know, the trade right away. And you didn't even, you know, think about the setup, you know, at a time because your head, I think it's not clear. I mean, my head is not clear when, when, usually when I'm over-trading is when I don't make enough or like I'm red on the day or like I kind of want to revenge trade. And those are, you know, the times when I'm over-trading a lot. And so how you can, you know, improve that or how you can, you know, get that out of, of, of the system. I mean, I mean, it's not easy, but I think, you know, there are some ways that, and you can actually can help you to reduce that. And first of all, you need to have a playbook, right? Or like I said here an edge, like you need to know what you're looking for. And if you know what you're looking for, you're not going to over-trade, right? Because you have some certain setups, you have some certain strategies that you're sticking daily. And if it doesn't come, you're not going to make a trade. And that will cause, you know, last, you know, trading, like trade on the fly kind of thing. And I think that, you know, helps me a lot. Also is tabs. It's like trading accountability, you know, buddies. And here is an example. I have James whenever, you know, we'd done by 1030 and I'm still around and trading. He's going to slap me, or I always going to, I don't know, kill me maybe, but my house down. And so help, you know, have someone to kind of help you, like, or like to tell you, hey, listen, bro, I mean, you know, after zombie, what, what, what are you still doing here, right? Why are you still trading? And someone like to snap or like to slap you at that moment, you know, to, for you to get out, you know, and not kind of try to open any more trades. And I think it's, it's, it's really helpful to have someone like that, you know, trading beside you. And when you're not in the right mood or when you're not in like, I don't know, trading in the zone, like you're not in the zone, and you need someone to kind of snap you out of that, right? And like, hey, listen, bro, I mean, you know, this is not a good time to make a trade. It doesn't matter, you know, what's set up, but now is not a good time. You shouldn't be trading at all, you know, get out, you know, if you down, just turn off the computer and just walk away, right? I think tabs is very important. And also, I think, like, I don't know, talk to yourself or like self talk, you can talk to yourself about that, you know, after that, self talk, like, you know, just talk to yourself. I mean, when the day is done, you over trade it, right? You done already, but then you have to look back and what you don't, you know, did wrong here. I mean, or next day, you could upload your trade and see why you traded the way you did. Because, you know, you have to kind of analyze that to see if that matches your setup or matches your strategy. If not, that's outside of the edge, right? What the heck, you still doing that? Or it's like, why are you trading, you know, so much shares or like you trading during zombie or after zombie, you know, it's just, you know, just have a self talk, talk to yourself. And I think that's a good way to be able to realize what you did wrong here. And I think usually, we're not going to realize it in the moment. But on the next day, when you see those trades, you just, I mean, it happens to me and it kind of happened to me. And when I look back at those trades, and I was talking to myself, I mean, I mean, oh man, it's like really stupid, right? All right, guys, so I hope it helps today. I hope you enjoy the video and I think have a good weekend. I'll see you next time then. Peace. Thank you so much for watching our video.
