And whilst full time traders are internally directed there are a couple of things to watch out for before taking the leap.1.Under capitizationThere is an old Wall Street saying “Scared Money Never Wins.’If you are dependent on the next trade to put food onto the table you are going to generate a host of errors along the way.2. StructureHow do you structure you time, your day, your finances? How do you pay yourself?Boring things like this have to be worked beforehand because once you have made the move - it is too late.Chris’ advice:  Have big goals with money – and with good grace of hard work and all your ducks lining up you will achieve them.How does Chris set his wealth thermostat?The markets are the facilitator of the life he wishes to lead and his inspiration comes from the knowledge that money buys him experiences and freedom; it is only dependent upon his effort.Louise Bedford - MindpowerHandling an unexpected windfall profit that exceeds your expectations can be tricky.The learning that comes about from making a huge profit can be just as painful and revealing as the learning that comes about from a loss.If you have a win, the most important thing to do is REWARD YOURSELF.You must create a feedback loop where your subconscious seeks further rewards.Caroline Stephen - Who Am IGuess this trading legend in this Who Am I segment.I'm loving bringing this show to you.
