The Overachiever
You love to push your limits, even if you hit your daily profit goal early...you are still rarely satisfied since you know you are capable of more.
Overachiever Archetype
You most likely have spent much of your childhood trying to prove your worth, always going the extra mile even if people didn't always notice.
You love a good challenge though, that is why trading caught your attention once you saw the unlimited potential it had to offer. Some might say you have become a little obsessed with it.
The problem is you can't seem to walk away, the unlimited potential has you glued to the screens all day which often causes you to give back your profits from early on.
It's habits like these people fail to notice, the little weak spots that cost them more than they realize.
Let's dive more into yours now.
Do NOT Skip what's next ...
Knowing your weaknesses is actually the key to unlocking your greatest potential.
Your Weak Spots
AKA your greatest potential for improvement.
-
Weak Spot: Your craving to excel causes you to overtrade. Most days after 2 hours of screen time your trades tend to take a turn for the worst, causing you to give back any gains you might have made earlier in the day.
-
Solution: Set a 2 hour trading window , preferably earlier in the morning so you are less burnt out from other daily responsibilities. The goal is to become more obsessed with being efficient in your time window rather than wasting your entire day being glued to the screens.
-
Weak Spot: You get fixated on your profit and loss so much that you often neglect your trading rules in order to move those numbers. This often causes you to move stop losses or take profits too soon for the fear of losing some of that profit number or seeing your total account number go back down, which we both know you hate.
-
Solution: Turn your Profit and Loss off, completely to prevent yourself from obsessing over these numbers. Just look once at the end of every trading day which should be after your 2 hour trading window.
