 "The mind that you bring to trading is NOT the mind that will produce success in Trading.  That has to be built."

________________

 "I knew how to trade.  I knew what my mind should be like to trade.  That's easy.  You can read books and sit in on a ton of webinars.  Out of that you can "talk the talk", but my trading account was telling me that I wasn't "walking the walk".   Moving from WHAT the mind is supposed to look like to trade to learning HOW to change - that is what was missing.  I knew I had to change; I just didn't know how to do it. The problem was, before Rande's work, I didn't know how to work with my mind and develop the internal decipline for successful trading.  Now that's happening."  MC

  Can you relate to this trader's comments?  As much as traders want to believe that their knowledge (IQ) is the Holy Grail, the truth is that their Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the difference between success and failure in trading.  The mind and emotions are the last frontier that a trader has to master to achieve their potential in trading.  It is also the part of you that you will most resist changing - finding every excuse imaginable not to summon the courage to act.  You will produce all sorts of excuses to delay actually changing, but..... Your trading account will give you unbiased feedback on how effective your emotions, mind, and beliefs are in helping you to achieve success in trading.  Increasing you Trading EQ is the difference maker - an aspiring trader has to get past the resistance to personal change to go to the next level. 

    Mastering the mind you bring to uncertainty is essential.  It is just as important as any other element in trading that has to be mastered.  It is either the weakest link, or the strongest link, in your plan to trade.  This video opens the door to understanding the relationship between uncertainty and fear - and your performance as a trader.  The real question for aspiring traders is whether they are ready to commit to the emotional lifting required to re-build the mind for trading.  As long as you remained seduced by the brain's "easy way out" mentality, you will remain stuck in the self limiting beliefs that keep you from achieving your potential as a trader.  You really have to be committed to pushing through this barrier to move from "talking the talk" to walking the walk".

Welcome from Rande Howell,

  If you are serious about getting to the next level, please explore this website.  To get started, I recommend the free stuff -- cutting edge trader psychology articles, questionnaire, and interviews.  They will give you good head knowledge to understand the problems in the psychology of trading. 

   To take it a step further,  I also encourage you to read my book, Mindful Trading:  Mastering Your Emotions and the Inner Game.  (FYI - this book is now in its 2nd printing and is available as an e-book or a paper book.)  It focuses on how you get past the roadblocks stopping you from experiencing success and develop your psychological potential for trading.  After that, review the offering listed below this letter and elsewhere on this website.

 

May your journey be prosperous,

Rande Howell, MEd, LPC

     "Rande's course was very helpful to me because it helped me understand why I was doing those things that caused me to make poor trading decisions and correct them . It also helped me bring out the parts of my personality that enabled me to think clearly and calmly and actually execute my trading plan fearlessly and with confidence. The course is not difficult, but it requires a commitment by you, and a willingness to look at yourself honestly."

Trader Psychology Training Courses for Mastering Emotions and Building the Mind that Trades

     After a while in the journey to become a successful trader, he or she realizes that they are really going to have to commit to professional development of themselves as a trader.  They have learned methodology and know how to trade.  They have developed a platform that works for them.  Consistent success still eludes them.  They have blown out several accounts or have bleed money by a thousand little cuts.  It is then that the emerging trader discovers that they really have to learn about themselves and what makes them tick and blow up - and what can make them successful.  They realize that the problem with their trading is THEM - not their methodology or platform.  And, that to become a professional trader, they are going to have to develop emotional and mental skills for trading.

     They have read all the books and tried all the shortcuts to success, but they have not been able to sustain success.  They become ready and commit themselves to personal development and training.  The two courses listed below are for those traders.  The ones that are serious about becoming the trader they could be and realize (after painful experience) that they are not going to do it without help and investment in themselves.  Below you will find what the respected trader trainer, Gail Mercer of THD, had to say about this:

 ____________________________________________________

    "I loved the training you did and the clients really loved it.  I have always taught my students to keep records and track what happens in their trading so they already know it is more psychology than methodology.  The problem has always been how to "get in the zone"  and the psychology professionals I have met in this field are less than up to par for the task -- until I met you.  You have nailed this one! 

    The potential here is huge. This literally will give traders the map for creating their own holy grail system. 

     On Tuesday morning, we did role playing -- WOW the role playing really made everything you did sink in.  They were shocked to see the chaos inside of their brains, visually.  Quite a lot of their own weaknesses and strengths came out that surprised everyone.  This was a spur of the moment idea because several of them were asking me if they really needed it so I wanted to really show them what inside was like.  One who thought he did not need trader psychology training is a triathlon athlete and believed that by ignoring everything it would go away.  He found out Tuesday morning that isn't the best option for trading so he will need to deal with it."

However, I know that Kent learned one of his big weaknesses via the role playing so he may do it.  (Kent is a triathlon athlete and believed that by ignoring everything it would go away.  He found out Tuesday morning that isn't the best option for trading so he will need to deal with it.)

  

Video-Based Self Study Course That Equips You to Get to the Next Level

        How many times have your emotions sabotaged your trading edge?  If you had the skills to calm down your emotions -- and calmly trade your plan, what would that mean to you?  Come to this internet webinar course and get the psychological edge you're missing.  This workshop will teach you the fundamental tools of emotional regulation and peak performance state of mind development. 

     This is a basic course that teaches all the skills that are used in the individual course.  It is ideal for "do it yourselfers" who are economizing.  For self learners, it is ideal.

"This course delivered the skills needed for change.  I was tired of listening to psychological platitudes telling me what my mind needed to look like - but could not be internalized.  I was tired of pretending that affirmations and positive thinking were going to change the problems I was having in my trading.   Been there, done that.  I wanted something taught me how to develop my psychology so I could move to the next level.  In this course you find the self limiting beliefs that hold you back.  You also learn how to disrupt them and rebuild them into mindset that can trade with discipline and patience so that I can now manage the uncertainty found in trading.  I now am no longer a prisoner to the fear that drove my management of uncertainty.  The video-based classroom takes this course to another level.  You can study when you want and so much as you want.  It made the difference for me."

The Ignite Program -- A Comprehensive Individual Trader Psychology Course that Incorporates Individual Coaching for Optimum Learning 

    Are you ready to move beyond fear and self doubt in your trading and into the Traders State of Mind?  Would you like to be able to observe the uncertainty of the market, but remain in a calm, observant, and impartial state of mind?  This course is comprehensive in that it provides a coach who mentors you through the process of change needed for developing an effective state of mind for trading.  That coach is Rande Howell, MEd LPC.  That means that your guide through this process is a trained and licensed as a professional counselor who has worked with emotional regulation of fear and anger for years.  And when you working with self limiting beliefs that limit potential, this is a difference maker.
 
   "The last thing I wanted to acknowledge was that I needed help with my personal psychology to become a successful trader.   For years, I put it off deceiving myself that I could do it myself.  Well, my trading told me a different story.  I finally realized that my resistance was really getting in the way of creating a successful trading career.  I hung around Rande's free webinars enough to know that change really required creating an interior discipline that clearly I was not demonstrating in my trading.  And what was stopping me from developing this interior discipline was my pride.  It hurt to realize that I was shooting myself in the foot.  Learning the skills of emotional regulation gave me the tools to keep my fears from blowing up my trades.  The Mindfulness Training opened the door to a completely new understanding of myself and a freedom I had never known before.  And the development of my inner resources (that's all the Jungian Archetype stuff he teaches) for interior discipline, patience, courage, and impartiality has made the difference in my trading.  I know the interior discipline that lives within me and I can act from it.  I have no idea why it took me so long to buy into the need of a trader psychologist for performance improvement.  Rande's coaching and the skills you'll learn can change your trading.  I am now equipped to create and manage the mindset I bring to trading.  It has made all the difference in the world."  SC
 
    This Ignite Program for trading is for traders who realize that personal coaching is the most efficient way of changing old self limiting patterns into productive new beliefs about self and your ability to bring a calm impartial and disciplined mindset to manage the uncertainty and risk found in trading.
