#140 Steven Goldstein: Developing Yourself as a Trader


Listen Later

Everyone wants to achieve as much as possible with minimal effort and pain, often seeking "cheat codes." However, some realize that maximizing rewards requires working smarter and acknowledging that risk-taking involves discomfort. These individuals embrace, manage, and learn from risks rather than looking for shortcuts, making them more likely to succeed.

When I started trading, I, too, wanted to gain without experiencing pain. Over the years and through many challenges, I learned that true success lies in engaging with the discomfort that comes from taking risks.

Success in trading extends beyond analysis, systems, and methods. While being competent in these areas is essential, they are only foundational. Achieving game-changing success requires a deeper understanding of trading and an awareness of what you are up against.

To transform your trading, you must develop advanced skills, comprehend market challenges, and navigate the complex systems at play. This involves recognizing the three intertwined challenges of trading:

  1. Your understanding of the external market environment.
  2. Your self-awareness and engagement with your internal environment.
  3. Your process for achieving specific outcomes as you navigate both of the above environments.

Whether you're a beginner or seasoned trader, this episode offers valuable insights into "Developing Yourself as a Trader," a field rarely explored yet so crucial to success.

As part of this episode, we highlight our new High Performance Trader Learning Programme launching in March, the first ever comprehensive programme looking as Trader Development.
