5. Trading smaller accounts and the process of building wealth through trading
My Journey

Beginning account size $5000

6. Early Challenges
Trading was much more difficult that I was lead to believe
It became obvious my mentors either didn’t live trade or live traded with poor results
I stopped mentoring, advisory services and trading groups
© 2015 Locke in Your Success, LLC.

7. NLP Concepts
Find people extremely successful in the field you are trying to master
Figure out what specifically makes them successful
Model and replicate the process
I found that success had very little to do with the trading system or style
© 2015 Locke in Your Success, LLC.

8. What did I find?
Every one of these top performers had these things in common
Saw events as they actually were and not worse than they were
Believed and trusted that things will get better
Made plans, practiced plans, executed plans and then evaluated and improved both their performance and their plans 
Evaluated and rewarded themselves on following the process NOT short term results
Focused on improvements and what they're doing right rather than beating themselves up for not doing good enough

9. If they can do it so can I
I applied what I learned and incorporated it into my own trading systems
I was not trying to create “a trade” but rather a set of principles and ideals that others have used and I could follow to become an extremely successful trader
This is THE distinction that most helped me excel so quickly in trading

10. Small Positions? The system is rigged against you No day trading
Difficult to make minor adjustments
Higher commission rates

11. What type of trades are you going to do?
Most traders throw sh!t at the wall and hope something sticks
You really need to figure out exactly what you’re trying to accomplish. See if it is reasonable by finding someone who is achieving similar results and then look for or create a system to do it.
This will narrow down your choices so you can focus on what matters
