TRADING PSYCHOLOGY
Nicholas talks about the reality of his experiences of first making big money from trading (closing 5-figure and 6-figure trades). How it changed his life at the time, what he has learned as a professional trader and changed since then.
Unlike what you may see from other traders claiming to be successful in the markets and showing lavish lifestyles. The reality can often be very different.

Never flaunt your money, because you will be attracting the wrong people. It is not your obligation to pay for everyone in your circle. You are better off buying a homeless person lunch/dinner. You are better off buying a new wheelchair for someone in need rather than blowing that money on booze for the evening. People in your circle have jobs, they can buy their own drinks and pay for their own food. Never pick up your date in a nice car, fancy clothes and fancy outings, in fact rent an old car and if she goes out with you on more dates after that, then she's a keeper. I just hope that people learn the lesson before all of it is gone or that person walks out of your life because there is no more money.

I'm actually enjoying life so much more since I've chosen to invest and trade. It has actually enhanced my minimalist lifestyle. I'm selling off anything I don't need and use that fiat money to pay for groceries, the barbershop et cetera. Meanwhile, I'm putting all that lazy spare money on my bank account to work through trading and investing. Financial independence will buy you mental ease. I don't care about cars, expensive holidays and what you have. I rather work out, read books, meet friends and enjoy people in general. That's real wealth. The money is just a safety cushion to protect you against unforeseen bills or financial blows to people who are dear to you.

You are ahead of the curve, young man. The old saying " money can't buy happiness" is right. BUT, what money can buy is freedom. If you can't be happy with freedom, it's not the moneys fault. The hardest thing about trading for me was I never felt like I accomplished anything. All I had was a bigger account, if things went well. When I was young, and built houses, I could see what I'd done that day, and 30 years later I can still drive by them. The best thing I ever did was set a number, as a goal, and quit when I got there. I still keep an eye on the markets, and have even been trading when they offer free money, like the last couple weeks. Trading is hard work and a lot of fun, but very lonely, and easy to burn out. Once you learn to walk away from a screen, life gets better. There is always another trade. Enjoyed listening to you talk !

It doesn't impair your life, whereas a serious mistake in trading can result in bankruptcy....Rick Guerin is the epitome of this fact.

As a Christian, and learning to trade / invest, my purpose is not just to have my need's and my family' met (food, medicine, transportation, clothes, etc.), I want to be the hands and feet of Jesus, helping others fight poverty, lack of education, illness and loneliness. Being alone is a great form of suffering these days, and I'd like to tacle on this social issue with resources and the help of churches. I've have had a high paying job in the past and I'm aware that money does not necesarely humanizes you, it just unlocks rooms of your mind and soul that you didn't know where there before, and that poses challenges and hard questions. So, it is good always to work hard, think hard about what am I doing here? Do I have any purpose or cause I'd like to invest my life in?

6 minutes in and this is the most useful and humane video i've seen about trading yet. We often look at money as if it is the only thing that matters (and of course they do to some extent) and that we should put our efforts to. That's where things start getting creepy. I had the exact same experience, lost my beloved cause i was too worried about making money and always working, not seeing it wouldn't actually fix a thing. The opposite, actually. I didn't earn any money, I just bought them with my time

[@truthseekerv1318]

I can totally relate to this. I have a friend who's family is loaded! I've been on 2 month long European vacations with him going to Morocco, Spain, Tunisia, Italy, Greece and Turkey. There are things that are great. To finally "live" with no concern about money. But there is a downside. Like you said, your problems are still there. For me it wasn't problems, but I felt "empty". My life ceased to have meaning. I was aimless. Just traveling and wandering around but I felt like I didn't have a purpose anymore. I think that was the most surprising thing for me from the experience. Everyone always wonders what it would like to be rich and they are sure it would be great. And that's true to a point. But people never think about the other side. I'm a trader. Last year was my first profitable year after 8 years. I do want to make all the money I can but it's not for houses, watches, clothes, cars or any other material things. They can't bring happiness. The money will enable me to be "Free" and have the resources to fulfill a purpose. To do something of meaning to me. To be able to truly "live"!

Bought this highly volatile Indian stock called IGC which was soaring so much for about $2k and I doubled my money by the third day, sold the stock only for me to get greedy or cocky or having a FOMO that I reinvested it all back in and it crashed that same day.

Thank you for your amazing video!!!!! just started on my trading journey....studying like crazy while doing 8 to 5 on my daily job to save money to open my trading account.Will get there eventually , just have to keep going until i am good enough to trade consistently.

[@aha9292]

Good to hear of your history, 1 more good reason to me to master this trading is to get rid of fake friends and help those who are in real need

[@rachelligon7154]

Thank you for being so open and honest. I understand everything you said. You seem like a really nice person. God bless you.

[@qu1sk]

Trading is a journey , not a destination. Its all about discipline and daily rotines . So getting better as a trader is like getting better as a human being + youll get the money as a present

[@Duomoinitiative]

Good way of looking at it! I've definitely become a better person and learned a lot about life as a result of trading. - Nicholas

​@@Duomoinitiative waaa thx for the reply - there is nothing that makes you more self aware as rejection of a woman and rejection of the market (losing money) thx for the great work , love your videos , shared them with everyone whos into trading

[@wepersonallyexperience1272]

Thank you for your honesty and transparency. I think you had some great unintentional introspection. I hope you gained as much as us listeners

[@Duomoinitiative]

Thank you. Yes I hadn’t expected so much to come flooding out like that! - Nicholas

Amazingly Humble mate. This feels like we had this chat over a beer. Perfect. Cheers from Australia!

[@harman1967]

I like listening to Nicholas, he always gives his honest views of trading, not the flashy videos of guys stepping out of lambos and boarding corporate jets to some chill out music telling you to come on a journey with them etc.

[@rupamdalal7331]

The only v video I want to watch for deciding my trading career this is the best thanks man for sharing amazing knowledge

[@conorduke274]

how? i'd love to learn

[@omeponakane4736]

just ask to your rich dad about that

[@weshakeandbake]

Wow, fantastic video. Really honest, very rare in an industry that is filled with scams and cowboys. Very few talk about the money side truthfully, Thanks for taking the time out to make this video. Can you recommend another video of yours that is similar to this? Loved it.

[@dahay6]

i loved to hear your story. if u have more stories, then please do share! i can learn a lot and i do enjoy to listen...

Great video Nicholas and thank you for sharing your experiences. Funny how we think money solves all our problems and yet we have more problems.

[@kirkarnold9023]

I agree what you said about money I think the main thing is to have enough money to live comfortable without a lot of pressure to pay our bills. But having a big excess of money I don't think would make that much difference either. Thank you for your input and your honesty.

[@maciejdunski7663]

Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability Nicholas. I found your channel last week, and you have won yourself a new fan! Keep it up and THANK YOU

[@masterofchaos1851]

Thanks for your openness and honesty. Most people think money brings happyness, but it brings new problems. My goal is to get my trading to a point where I can use it to fund my life passion, in a men's recovery center. Trading should be the how or the means to following your passion.

[@garyhennessey3621]

You are right about the other You Tube video's on trading. All flash, materialistic...You are a very honest person and have a great personality. I have experienced much of what you have. I have just restarted trading again. I am doing very well and am going to retire and do this for a living but I have worked a long time, 34 yrs in the aerospace ind. I very much enjoy trading and you are 100% right about the cash. Thanks and God Bless

[@LuigiSimoncini]

WOW Nicholas! Thank you for this, I feel the need to tell you how grateful I am for your lessons here on YT and on the (brilliant!) development program. I think you're giving back A LOT, and I suspect this video may have explained some of the reasons behind it. Thanks!

[@damerellcoaching]

Hay Nick, amazing video. Just came across your videos recently. Nice to see so much honesty and being real. Great work!

[@kentwrankmore]

Great vlog! As you so clearly stated its VERY easy to get caught up in the obsession of making money without realizing how it is impacting your relationship with family and friends, although trying to strike a balance is difficult too.... Cheers

[@OneBrightTrade]

Thanks for opening up. It's best if people have an unwavering life purpose that does not change with circumstances before achieving material wealth, be it through trading or another avenue.

Thanks for that, you come across as really honest in your experiences in life.

Thank you so much for this video. Opens your eye on the reality of trading. Keep them coming. 🙏

Great video! Thank you for honesty and Sharing your experience of lonely traders life! Lots of traders don’t realize that! But first you have to start making lots of money...😀 I am still learning.. Best of luck to you looking forward to your next video!

[@austynwatson948]

This video truly spoke volumes! Such a great video! Everyone on social media makes trading always seem so glamarous and problem free. Thanks for the amazing insights!

Thanks Aleesha!

You've acquired a lot of wisdom. Keep it up!!

[@benj2101]

Great video. Thanks. Nice to see so much honesty. Many people just put out what people want to see or what they think they want to see.

[@henryouang]

I really connected to this video. There really needs to be a balance established between trading and the "real world." I'm pretty secluded right now and trade a lot, but I will be looking to make adjustments next summer when I will hopefully take a gap year. Thanks so much for making this video, I concretely realize that this was a problem that many had, but now that you say it in a physical form, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Again, thank you so much, this means more than you may expect to me.

[@JacobKrajewski]

I definitely appreciate this video. Very interesting perspective and I like how you explained your journey. Defintiely subscribed.

[@silviamazzieri6711]

So much content in this video 👌. This is the reality. being honest, how often do experience traders lose trades?

[@Duomoinitiative]

I would say most experienced traders will lose trades more often than new traders. If you look at the win/loss profile, new traders are defined by many small wins and few huge losses, since they’ll close winning trades early and hold onto losing trades too long out of hope and loss aversion. One of the keys to becoming a good trader is being willing to take a (relatively smaller) loss and knowing when it’s time to hop out of the trade.

[@carolinedonoghue6302]

I remember when I used to give private lessons about Forex trading and most of them always started approaching me like ; do you lose trades sometimes? How long is your current winning streak?

[@silviamazzieri6711]

@@carolinedonoghue6302 sounds Interesting and what were your replies?

[@carolinedonoghue6302]

@@silviamazzieri6711 I replied, how many times do you need to be right as a profitable trader, 70%?80%? Most beginners think most times it should be higher than 50%. What if I tell you that; you can be profitable been right only 40% of times. Beginners will benefit a lot from his mentorship : inbox shannemoody via telegram. he is convenient.

[@MrNiccce]

Has to be one of my fav videos from you, Nicholas. Speaking with personal experience and honesty.

[@boomafoo9]

Love the honesty, such a refreshing change from all the online marketers selling their millionaire trading dreams with zero worries or problems in life. It's all an advertisement with them.

[@shahbazs6705]

I can so relate to this guy. You can tell his story is from the heart.

[@quantexsystems3939]

I had the exactly same experience. To keep your self at the edge and track you need bigger goals than money. If your ultimate goal is money, you will get it eventually and loose the way. If you have bigger goals money will never be enough. Especially if you involve yourself in politics and changing the world. :)

[@kennyh7635]

What a great inspiration and thanks for the heads up 👍🏻
