How many times have you given it all back (and then some)? Self-sabotage is a common problem in the growth of a trader. You start having good days, weeks, even months. Then, you go tilt! You blow up everything you’ve gained – and often a whole bunch more. It’s perplexing – you don’t understand what happens – but it keeps happening.
It is at these great transitional moments that a trader makes it or breaks it. He has stepped into an emotional and psychological arena that he does not understand. Yet, coming to understand why sabotage keeps happening despite your best effects is critical to moving beyond this moment in trading that is blocking you from the growth you need to experience.
