"I knew how to trade. I knew what my mind should be like to trade. That's easy - but 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

Click here to see what other traders are saying about this book and the impact it is having. This is a book about HOW you build a mindset for effective trading. It's not about what your mind SHOULD be doing; it is about the skills and tools you need to equip yourself with so you can master your emotions.
(available only at this website)
Have you discovered that your potential as a trader is still being sabotaged by an undisciplined mind and emotions? That is where the vast majority of traders stay stuck. You know you have the skills to trade effectively, but something is going on in your head that blocks you from peak performance trading. Trading success is a marriage between platform, methodology, and a trader's psychology. Most traders invest enormous emotional and financial capital into their platform and methodology, while neglecting their psychological and emotional development as traders -- They literally deny that their personal psychological and emotional organization are the single biggest problems that block their success. Rarely does a trader come to trading with a mind suitable for trading. The mind and psychology of a trader has to be developed.
Unless you are enormously fortunate, the psychology of the trader has to be developed (much like in golf and chess) to use the tools of platform and methodology. Traders State of Mind is dedicated to educating traders in the psychology of their performance who finally realize that the Holy Grail has never been "out there". It is within you. But you have to commit to developing your peak performance mindset. And you cut through your resistance to change.
This takes courage and discipline, applied to skills you can learn here. Courage to confront, disrupt, and transform your fears that stalk you regularly as you trade - whether it's the fear of pulling the trigger, the fear of losing, or the fear of inadequacy. Avoiding the fear, or projecting blame outside of the self, only prolongs the self sabotage. It takes courage to admit that the only thing that stands between you and successful trading is you...no other person, no other thing, no other excuses. It is this "you" that has to be re-invented and re-organized so that the Inner Trader in you can push beyond the fears that bind you to mediocrity and into peak performance.
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 the book, Mindful Trading: Mastering Your Emotions and the Inner Game. It focuses on how you develop your psychological potential for trading. To go beyond head knowledge and begin developing the skills for emotional and mind management, I also recommend the guided meditations, Bellows Breathing For Calming the Body and Mindand Mindfulness Training for the Trader. Both are skills you need to develop to become a calm, relaxed, and confident trader. This is a cost effective way of developing key skills needed to develop your mind for trading. Remember, fear and greed are not going to go away. And until the fear is managed, you will never achieve your God-given potential in trading.
There are couple of things I recommend you do. Check out the interviews by MoneyShow.com by both Tim Bourquin and Karen Gibbs. They are loaded. They will open your eyes to the Emotional Intelligence and Mindfulness aspects of successful trading. Read the free excerpt from my book, Mindful Trading: Mastering Your Emotions and the Innner Game. Then take the Questionnaire so you have a good handle on what causes the problems in your trading. Explore a little deeper, with this information, come to a webinar. Attend either theFREE Mindful Trading: The Eight Roadblocks to Trading Success Webinar or the Five Essential Skills for Peak Performance Training. These webinar will open your eyes to a new world of hope for your trading. And they alternative on successive months.
If you have concluded that it is your current organization of psychology that stands in your way to more successful trading, I recommend you explore the personal coaching course offered or the Developing Trader's Mind Webinar course offering several times a year. These train you in the very skills you will need to move beyond fear based trading and into probability based trading.
Sincerely,
Rande Howell, MEd, LPC
PS -- Almost forgot. My hope for you is that your journey into trading be prosperous. Instead of envisioning an external success that comes to you, my hope is that you ask the question: Who do I need to become for this vision to be brought forth from inside of me and into the world. This is the inner game of trading.

"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."

Take Emotional and Psychological Charge of Your Trading
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?
"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.
