Anxiety and future in the traders life
Anxiety is a future oriented emotion. You never will get anxious about events that have already occurred. Suppose we had been anxious about a trade but now it’s over with profit hit or stopped out. We no longer feel anxiety - only feel nothing, or satisfaction, or remorse, or disappointment, or sorrow, or some other past oriented emotion.
Anxiety communicate a message that there’s something in our future for which we need to prepare. This is a vital, a self-protection message.
If you’re anxious about a trade, ask yourself, “What can I do to prepare for this evolution?” Fortunately traders almost everytime have to be prepared only for 2 major events - profit or lose. At a first glance my anxiety is related to a failure.. Only at first glance, cause there is no failure. There is only a lack of knowledge, technique, and experience.
If you’re anxious about your trade - ask yourself, “Is there anything else I need to do to clear this fear, and trust in me?” This might involve additional research, verification, something else. Don`t let the pressure of anxiety to affect you at a higher level. But although we know how pressure can affect us, we may not know how to deal with pressure of anxiety. Or what we do know, doesn’t always do the job.
When confronted with the anxiety in the trading, our natural self-defense system-called the fight or flee syndrome - jumps into action. Developed early in our history to confront the life-threatening problems our distant ancestors faced, like the attack of wild animals or natural disasters, our stress defense system stimulates certain regions of the body to react quicker than normal. The heart beats faster, breathing accelerates, and blood pressure increases. Two hormones are released, cortisol to mobilize additional energy and adrenaline to increase our reflexes, strength, reaction time of our mind. But there is a nail in my head: the same chemicals that speed up our physical responses also suppress the calm, rational parts of the brain.
The result? We tense up. Our emotions take over. We start talking to ourselves, worried that we’ll miss a note, lose track of the thoughts. A trader does not need al of this.
As a short resume: Disappointment, or the fear of disappointment, keeps many people from expecting success. The problem here is that I need to anticipate success in order to succeed. Can you imagine what would happen if a professional expected (was anxious all the time) to fail? Such a fear/thought just never crosses the mind of a truly good trader. An outstanding trader operates “in the zone” fully anticipating, creating in his imagination his own flawless performance.
Definitely, when I feel anxiety about a trade
