Discard Framing of Self that Triggers Negative Mindset

Statements like this are often uttered:

"I'm still in the learning phase"
"My consistency is still fluctuating"
"My portfolio is thin, only speculative positions"

Seemingly harmless at first glance. But in trading, these phrases act as subtle self-sabotage. The subconscious mind accepts this framing as "truth," and every trading decision is filtered through these ingrained beliefs.

The result? Risk management becomes hesitant, entry points are missed, exits are too quick. A mindset conditioned to "not ready yet" or "not consistent yet" will always seek evidence to support that framing.

In a game where 80% is played on the psychological table, the language we use to define ourselves is the foundation. Change the narrative—and performance will follow.
