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.

Yeah, it's that feeling of cursing yourself. Once you say it, you really start to believe it.

Ha, I love to hear that. Back then, I also said every day, "Still in the learning stage," but in the end, I didn't make any money for a year and lost three times. It wasn't until later that I realized this set of words is just building a prison in your mind, and then willingly being confined inside. Language is a spell; once spoken, it comes to life.

Buddy, that was spot on. Honestly, saying you're learning is actually digging your own grave.

Really, saying "I'm still learning" is already a loss... Psychological suggestion is even more ruthless than stop-loss.

This psychological preparation is really key; the more I talk about it, the more I believe it myself.
