Go back and reread that last sentence.\u00a0 Those with a fixed mindset believe they can only be as good as their talent allows.\u00a0 Shark has experienced a trading career from a different lense.\u00a0 Every trading session is an opportunity to improve and every trade a gift from the market to learn.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/becoming-a-seven-figure-trader?inf_contact_key=8e6b4bc63ecd2a7fc96af54510e3dbbd1dfb6b26016aaddb7ca08ddbda4d61d5\">Be like Shark<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bring a passion to study trading-<\/strong> The Chief was the CEO of a publicly traded insurance company.\u00a0 He hated it.\u00a0 In his late 40s, The Chief transitioned into professional trader and now runs our options trading desk, powered by Kershner Trading Group.\u00a0 He loves his job.\u00a0 We have found the best traders love to study trading.\u00a0 One trader, who has broken out recently, spends weekends playing with excel spreadsheets to measure existing and new edges.\u00a0 Many think they would love to trade.\u00a0 The best love to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KszGd3I0dCE\">study trading<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find your trading niche-<\/strong> During stage 2 of our training program at SMB, new traders experiment with different trading strategies.\u00a0 We encourage them to gravitate towards the strategies that make the most sense to them.\u00a0 Below are the results from last month of a scalper- very active trader.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44112\" src=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/swangPnL.jpg\" alt=\"swangPnL\" width=\"600\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/swangPnL.jpg 827w, \/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/swangPnL-300x152.jpg 300w, \/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/swangPnL-768x388.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What is most interesting are not his trading results from the month, which are impressive.\u00a0 What is most informative is that if we were to rewind three years, this trader&#8217;s results would have shown similar consistency (he was negative one day last month).\u00a0 His PnL however would have been in the 4-6k range for the month.\u00a0 This trader kept working on his niche- scalping.\u00a0 By slowly getting bigger in his strategies with edge, he has graduated to high performing trader.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Match your talents with your niche-<\/strong> The best traders match their trading niche with their talents.\u00a0 As a trading example, those who process information very quickly should scalp- trade a very short time frame.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trade with Edge-<\/strong> You cannot make money in markets without edge.\u00a0 Commonly new traders speak with me privately in my office about their poor psychology impeding them from making good trades.\u00a0 These traders will be like 3 days into their live trading career.\u00a0 <em>And I will be thinking: What the F***!\u00a0 It&#8217;s your lack of edge young newb.<\/em>\u00a0 It&#8217;s your lack of edge that is breeding your frustration.\u00a0\u00a0 Until you have edge, very little else matters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Team Trading matters-<\/strong> Senior traders sharing their strategies and working with deserving new traders as a part of their Trading Team is stage 3 of our training.\u00a0 Copying successful traders, their strategies and their best practices, is an excellent way for traders to make progress.\u00a0 One of our top traders was almost fired by our firm for poor performance.\u00a0 Instead, we placed him on a new team that better matched his talents.\u00a0 He went from underperforming to high performing trader.\u00a0 Team Trading matters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Patience is required-<\/strong> We do not expect traders to make money in the first year.\u00a0 A very successful developing trader might make 250k in PnL in Year3.\u00a0 It will take them, with only a few exceptions, until Year5 before they are tracking to become a seven-figure trader.\u00a0 There is no substitute for the improvement power of screen time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resilience-<\/strong> Of all of the successful traders we have developed, they all have had very large setbacks.\u00a0 One of our best traders, lost 350k in one afterhours decrying KBIO rocketing from 2 to 25, while short.\u00a0 Another had an 180k drawdown at the start of the year, over-aggressively trading ETFs.\u00a0 Each of these traders used their setback as an opportunity to improve and the ensuing pain as fuel to do the work required to become an even better trader.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be Bionic-<\/strong> The best traders leverage technology to find more of their best setups.\u00a0 Whether that is with custom filters they build or automated models, they embrace technology to play more offense with their trading edges.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build from your strengths-<\/strong> You improve as a trader by trading your A+ trades more often and with more size.\u00a0 The best traders know their best setups through study, work to master trades that accentuate their talents, have internalized these trades, and continually work to trade them bigger with a process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are one firm, trading mostly actively short-term, at one location, at one moment in time, and certainly do not have all the answers.\u00a0 There are many different ways to attack markets.\u00a0 This is what we have learned coaching\/mentoring new traders to consistently profitable trader and then high performing trader.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related posts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a
