A beginner trader reached out to me and the conversation ended with him accusing me of being \u201cmean\u201d and \u201caggressive\u201d. I want to walk through this conversation as it allows for us to see the inner working of the human mind. Why does this matter? Well, as traders, the human mind matters a whole lot! You can have great knowledge, but if your mind is playing games with you and your emotions are out of control, that knowledge goes down the toilet in a hurry. Part of being a good trader is learning. Part of learning is having the skill to learn. What does this skill look like? This is the talking point I want to focus on: the skill of learning. Let\u2019s walk through this conversation and see the pitfall of this beginner trader\u2019s learning skill (or in this case, lack thereof).
