Many professional and ultra successful leaders in sports use the power of visualization, to reach the highest possible level for yourself. Far from “focus-pocus”, the art of visualization is fast becoming a recognized method of successful work. Most ardent supporters of visualization – Athletes, but there are also surgeons, conference, and even businessmen, who mentally represent, how they will act and react to various adverse situations, that can happen during an important meeting.
How visualization can help traders? Here is a real-life example of a successful trader, using it. “At the entrance to the building, where is my office, there is a fountain. I came too early one morning, so he sat down on a bench and gazed at the fountain. I imagined myself at my desk. I saw myself, calmly executing every transaction, according to your well thought out plan. When my stop loss was triggered, I left the deal without emotion. When the profit target was reached, I quickly assessed the situation and decided, continue the deal or exit. I only spent a few minutes dreaming, soon got up from the bench and went to his office. “Wonderful Things Happened That Day”, he continued with a smile. “I've made some of the best deals in my career.. Actually, the day went like that, how I imagined him. Now every morning I sit in front of the fountain and picture myself doing deals so easily, as soon as I can. At the end of the day, I leave the office with saved energy and tangible results.”.
Try to take advantage of this simple, but an effective method before the start of your trading day. Go to a quiet place, where you will not be distracted within minutes. Sit quietly and imagine yourself working effectively during the day.. Following the example of a trader, see yourself calmly and confidently making deals according to your plan. The more you practice visualization, the better you can maintain a calm and focused approach to trading.
