Everyone goes through phases in their trading. And sometimes a difficult phase spells the end of a trading career.

Markets change, we change, nothing stays the same forever.

This year has been especially tough for many traders, judging by the number of coaching inquiries I’ve received.

How do you deal with a difficult phase in your trading. Do you try to push through? Do you stop and consider what may be going on? Do you quit?

I’ve been involved in trading for many years and I’ve never come across a (successful) trader who hasn’t gone through a difficult period. Traders with long term success deal with a difficult trading phase differently.

What  type of trader are you?

I recently spoke with a former coaching client, he was updating me on what he’s been up to since the coaching ended. Hearing how he’s doing was so satisfying for me, he’s not only trading well, his personal life is significantly more satisfying as well.

After we spoke, he emailed me this testimonial:

“If you’re serious about getting to the next level in your trading, Dr. Menaker is the only recommendation I would make.  He is the real deal.  Because he’s a trader, he’s able to merge psychology and trading.  Through his targeted prescriptions (EMwave exercises, books, and 1 on 1 conversations) I experienced a return to my ‘old form.’  I’m incredibly grateful for the time and care he took in helping me sort through the various trading and non-trading issues that were preventing me from achieving peak results.”
