Your brain is wired for action; it rewards you for “doing stuff.” Every time you analyze a chart, read a news report, or place a trade, you get a little hit of the reward hormone called dopamine.
You feel productive, you feel like you’re working hard.
But the market doesn’t care!
Losing traders are trapped in this cycle.
They believe that the more they do, the more they will earn.
This is the trap of productivity!!
Profitable trading often involves waiting, but for a brain that craves action, doing nothing feels like torture; it feels like you’re being lazy…like you’re losing.
This is the core tension of trading: your intuition versus reality.
To win, you have to unlearn almost everything that feels natural. And one of those things is the need to always feel productive!!
