Tina’s Journey with Traderscale

I am an immigrant and works in a health care industry responsible for the overseeing of the operations side. My passion is to work with team members who enjoys the challenges of growing themselves in this field and streamlining the organizational processes.

I had some previous co-workers who are no longer in the financial industry and moved to other roles. It gave them more freedom as there are no regulatory requirements since they are not connected anymore with the regulating bodies like IIROC. I worked previously in a financial institution, particularly in wealth management. I am fascinated with how our clients have achieved their financial status and I would like to be on a similar position as they are. I am driven by the hope that learning how trading works, I would achieve financial freedom and quit my 9-5 job. , and since we are highly regulated federally and from the financial bodies, there are several education courses that you must have just to trade, and we are restricted from many fronts. Hence, after I switched career and moved to health care, I then started immersing into trading.

I would say that I am still in the learning phase as there are so many strategies that I am trying to learn for myself. I find it overwhelming to know that there are so many strategies. So I would like to stick to one or two that resonates with me. However, after several months of failure, I would say that I am most inclined to following the supply and demand method as well as support and resistance. It is liberating to know that it is next to impossible to burden myself with the need to predict the market movements with certainty. Looses are inevitable but regularly monitoring the successes and failures and getting into the habit of regulating my emotions really helps. Although, I would admit, there is so much room to grow in this area.

I would say I blew more than 8-10 accounts – personal and funded accounts. I believe I am still a work in progress since I would consider myself as a newbie in this field. But I notice that I am better now at listening to experts like my colleagues.

I would say that the top challenge that come to mind is the psychology of trading. I am always so involved into the trades I make so I am many times get so emotional. I am filled with so much FOMO, regret, or if the trades are going into my favor, I would be overconfident, overtrade. Only to realize that it suddenly switches very quickly especially when there is news coming up.

Markets are extremely dynamic. Conditions constantly change. No two trades are ever identical even if they share the same setup. There are times where I would experience consecutive wins or losses regardless of my strategy. There is no guarantee on the outcome. So, for me, it is critical that I think and focus on the long-term results rather than the individual trades. I know that it is easier said than done but I am working on it.

I am still emotional , but I learned that accepting uncertainty rather than needing to be right is a critical component to reduce the emotional impact of my losses and allows me to have a better decision making in my future trades.

I am not sure that I am there yet, being consistent, however, I continue to focus on the things that I can control – my physical well-being, positive thoughts, learning methodology, and training the mind to pause when my emotions are getting the best of me. It helps me shift my perspective rather than obsessing over the thought of whether I am going to win or lose the trade.

To consistently have that growth mindset. Always be a student – always learning and respecting those before me.
