Busting Four Big Mental Game Myths

Writing The Mental Game of Trading took me roughly three years and during that time I dove deep into the trading world to better understand how traders think, the problems they face, and the situations they encounter.

Part of my deep dive included research with a wide variety of traders that involved surveys, webinars, 1:1 and group coaching sessions. One of the outcomes was I found there are several myths that predominate the industry and significantly impact traders’ ability to develop the kind of mental and emotional stability needed to perform at their best.

Today I want to bust those myths for you.

Myth #1: Emotions Are the Problem

It’s a myth that emotions such as anger, greed, and fear are the problem causing your trading errors. Rather, these emotions are actually signals of a problem. When you label emotions as the problem, you are masking the real issue. Unfortunately, conventional wisdom feeds into this idea and advice mainly focuses on reducing, controlling, and releasing emotions. You’re fighting emotion, but in the wrong way. Instead, you need to treat emotions as a signal and get curious about what they’re trying to tell you. This is a critical change in perspective: emotions are not the problem; they are signals of underlying performance flaws.

When I talk about the underlying causes of emotions, I’m not talking personal stuff. This isn’t about Freud, and we’re not talking about your relationship with your mom. I’m talking about the underlying performance flaws that cause you to have misperceptions of yourself, your strategy, and the market. Examples include confirmation bias, illusion of control, being overly attached to unrealized gains, expecting to make money on every trade, and hating variance. These are just some of the performance flaws that I talk about in the book and that are the real cause of your greed, fear of losing, hatred of mistakes, and overconfidence, to name a few.

To give you a closer look at how these performance flaws cause problems, let’s look at an extremely common one: high expectations. High expectations aren’t inherently bad. Many successful people have incredibly high expectations of themselves and the people around them, and these expectations have been an important driver of their success. But high expectations can be like a double-edged sword, causing self-inflicted damage. You may get intensely angry when you fail to meet those expectations, or you may get incredibly nervous, and resort to comfortable trades with very little risk.

For others, it’s a nasty cycle where anger turns into fear, which damages confidence, which further weakens the ability to perform, which makes it even harder to achieve your expectations, which leaves you angrier, more anxious, and more down about your prospects. As an fyi, high expectations and perfectionism are so common for high performing, highly motivated people, it’s probably the most applicable topic in The Mental Game of Trading, which includes dedicated material as well as a strategy for addressing it that has been reliably helping my clients.

Lastly, emotions are not a problem because they are an essential source of energy to fuel your performance. Even emotions typically seen as negative are not always bad. For example, anger can be a phenomenal source of energy. Michael Jordan used anger as motivation, most notably from being cut from his high school basketball team, to become one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

Myth #2: It’s All About Greed and Fear

This is a common one, exacerbated by the greed/fear index that is so often talked about. To reduce the emotion present in the market down to these two emotions is a myth for a couple of reasons.

First, there are other emotions disrupting your performance, and the decisions of millions of others, that differ from greed and fear. The big other three that I talk about are: anger, motivation, and confidence. To oversimplify it down to just two emotions is a shorthand that doesn’t help you understand the dynamics in the market or the dynamics of how you participate in the market.

In addition, greed is not actually a problem in the way people think it is. I’m not talking about it from a societal perspective. If you look at greed purely from a performance standpoint, wanting more is not a problem by itself. You would never suggest an elite athlete is greedy for wanting to win a lot of games. Tom Brady isn’t greedy because he wants to win an 8th Super Bowl.

In the same way, suggesting you’re greedy because you want to make more money (the actual point of trading!) defies logic. Greed is just excessive ambition that causes you to violate your strategy or system and make bad decisions that will end up costing you. That’s the real reason greed is a problem – because it costs you money. It’s no different than the athlete who doesn’t listen to the coach and tries to do too much in a game and ends up costing their team a victory.

It also can’t be all about greed and fear because there are a lot of anger and confidence issues that cause problems to arise. Remove the halo around greed and fear and start opening your mind to how these other issues are problematic, and you will be that much further towards solving your problems.

Myth #3: I Just Need to Be More Disciplined!

This one links back to misunderstanding emotions. Sure, discipline problems exist. I included a whole chapter on Discipline in The Mental Game of Trading because it’s so common. But what many traders miss is that for many of you, emotion forces you to enter too early, jump into a position that is taking off, exit early to lock up profit, to move your stop.

On the surface all of these mistakes seem like you lacked discipline. But when you peel back the layers, you realize it’s FOMO that forced you to jump in, hatred of losing forced you to move your stop, and a lack of confidence caused you to lock up profit. Yes, discipline problems are real, but first you have to rule out that emotions (which are themselves driven by underlying flaws) aren’t the real cause of your errors.

Bonus Myth: Simulated Market is Equal to the Live Market

OK, this thing is starting to get too long, but I couldn’t help myself. I had to include it because newer traders really need to get their heads out of their asses on this one and it’s incredibly common, not just in trading but in other environments too.

You cannot, I repeat, cannot, equate what happens in the simulator, to what happens in the live market. Even though the conditions are the same. Burn this into your brain: YOU are different. That’s why it’s not the same. All your goals, work, effort, time, energy that you put into developing your skills, and your actual money – it’s all on the line. And that makes it intense and emotional. All of that combines to change the nature of the live market and makes it more difficult for you to execute.

Simulated markets and live markets are not the same and never will be. DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE. Otherwise, you set yourself up for more emotional volatility than necessary when you really need to slow down and invest the time it takes to make the transition.

You Can’t Stop a Problem You Can’t See

https://jaredtendler.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/8.-Importance-of-recognizing-emotions.mp4

Right out of the gate in Chapter 2 of The Mental Game of Trading you’ll learn a straightforward method to spot the signals of greed, fear, anger, and confidence and discipline problems, before they become too big of a problem. Catching it early is critical. When emotions get too intense, the mind isn’t powerful enough to stop them and mistakes become inevitable. Seeing it afterwards, is like seeing a trade you missed. The opportunity is gone.

Learning to see these mental and emotional signals is no different than what you do every day as a trader. Now you need to use that skill and turn it on a different set of material, so you can start to see causality where you currently only see randomness. That how you can begin to tackle the mental and emotional problems causing your decision-making process to breakdown.

The steps are practical and actionable. And if you work that process you will start to see signals of the problem early enough so you can avoid mistakes and missed opportunities.

What’s Improved? Trading Book vs. Poker Books

I’ve just released my third book, The Mental Game of Trading, and couldn’t be more excited. It was three years in the making and I’m super happy with how it came out.

For those of you that know my work, I have often talked about the ways in which my system works across many fields. That’s why I was able to move from golf to poker, and then poker led to trading, esports, business, and other professions. Given that, one question I wanted to address is how this book is a distinct upgrade from my previous books, The Mental Game of Poker 1 & 2.

Put simply, the four biggest improvements are:

My system is more systemized and easier to follow.You’ll feel more like a client as you read this one. I’ve mapped the process clients move through to identify, work on, and solve issues, and have included an entire troubleshooting chapter.There is more content—a lot of it. At 310 pages, this book is about 80% longer and there’s no fat.Within the expanded content, there is a ton of additional details/specifics around each problem, especially with high expectations and perfectionism.

Let me tell you a little more about each one of these.

My System is Systemized

First and foremost, it’s been 10 years since I released the first book. With each book, I was forced to consolidate my knowledge and that led to huge leaps in my expertise. I think the reason I needed three years to write this book, in addition to being quite busy with my client work, is that it took a long time to download and distill what I had learned over the years. Working through all that material has allowed me to make my system that much tighter. It’s as close as you can get in written form to having a coach right there with you telling you what to do next.

Most importantly, the system prioritizes resolution. I love getting feedback from readers and actively sought out what the poker books did well and where they fell short. As I’ve read through and listened to comments, I got the feeling people weren’t using the material to work towards resolution. Thinking about it, I realized that I put too much emphasis on Injecting Logic and not enough on resolution. While Injecting Logic is a critical tool, it’s not the end game. The end game is resolution. That’s how you eliminate your problems for good. Resolution, and how to work the process to get there, is much more front and center throughout The Mental Game of Trading.

Feel Like a Client

With the system being laid out in this way, the book more closely mirrors my actual coaching process. Those of you who have completed coaching with me in the past will recognize the steps. In hindsight it all seems quite obvious to structure it this way, but it took a lot of work to get things this clear.

Plus, I have a lot more knowledge about the problems that clients commonly experience as they attempt to make progress. Throughout the book, there’s advice and perspective to help you identify and work through those sticky points so your progress doesn’t get derailed. That culminates with the last chapter of the book, titled “Troubleshooting a Lack of Progress,” which goes into further detail about six of the biggest and most common issues that prevent you from improving, and how to address them. And, because the system is more systemized in this book, you’ll have an easier time isolating the specific reason you’re not making the progress you want.

More Content

There’s just more material in this book and that’s simply a byproduct of more experience. I’ve seen more and applied it with clients in many different competitive arenas. I’ve continued to push myself to learn and grow, moving my own Inchworm forward. That’s a big reason why I never took learning to play poker, or learning to trade, seriously. I focused my energy on continuing to level up as a coach. My A-game (and C-game) is a lot stronger than it was a decade ago.

In this book you’ll find more tips on identifying issues, more guidance on mapping your pattern, more detail on the types of problems I see, and more advice on how to solve them. I also pride myself on trying to present the material simply, without a lot of extra words or belaboring points. This book is 80% longer than the poker books and there is no fat. It’s all revised and expanded content. Sure, there’s some repetition in the book, but that’s purposeful. Repetition of key points is critical to learning. Lastly, I’ve included more examples. 17 traders share their stories of how they improved using my system.

Perfectionism Expansion

To be clear, I’m not suggesting that high expectations or expectations of perfection are inherently a problem. I always tell my clients I want them to aspire as big as their goals are. But high expectations do create a double-edged sword. While it may be a driver of success, it can also create self-inflicted wounds that cause emotional volatility and damaged execution/performance.

These topics are covered throughout the book and then explored in detail for a full 10 pages within the confidence chapter. That section also lays out a strategy that I have been using with clients for the last three or four years that has been reliably helping people across industries make significant improvements. In fact, I recently had several long-standing clients refer their spouses to me on this topic and, as a result, I worked with a cancer radiologist, psychiatric nurse, and graphic designer. While those are not my typical clients, all of them significantly benefited from this material. If you’ve read the poker books and haven’t gotten over the hump on this one, the new book can help.

Overall, I couldn’t be prouder of this book. Whether you are new to my material or looking for the expanded content from the earlier books, I look forward to hearing how The Mental Game of Trading helps you to improve your performance.

Controlling Emotions vs. Resolving Emotions

The biggest difference between my system and traditional performance psychology is the issue of what to do about emotions. While conventional wisdom acknowledges the role of emotion in performance, the advice is typically centered around controlling them. Conventional wisdom basically tells you that emotions are the problem. I disagree.

Emotions are not the problem. They are signals, pointing you in the direction of where the real problem lies. When you spend time pretending the emotion isn’t there, rationalizing it away, or writing it off as a one-time event, you are not actually solving the problem. You are just managing it.

Or perhaps you are aware of the emotions and have created your own “solutions,” which, spoiler alert, are just alternate ways of managing them. You exit early to lock up profit and avoid a potential blow-up if the trade turns against you. You stop trading on days your emotions are too high, until you can get your head on straight. You walk away from an active trade so you don’t interfere with it.

The problem with these work-arounds is that you’ve minimized your profitability as well as your ability to adapt and improve as a trader. Trading smaller, exiting earlier, and booking a profitable day all in an effort to keep your emotions in check is not how you ultimately want to play this game. Yes, they can be good short-term strategies, but they’re best used like training wheels. And until you lose the training wheels, your upside potential as a trader is significantly limited.

While controlling emotions often leads to temporary relief, and at times that is critical, they continue to come back again and again. You’re forced to constantly keep an eye out for their return, and when they eventually come back, you have to once again fight for control. There has to be a better way [read in classic infomercial voice].

Resolution is Better

Advice focused on controlling your emotions relies on the premise that you must keep holding ideas in your mind to control and fight against greed, anger or fear. I consider this to be a “band-aid” on the problem. Instead, I want you to eliminate the underlying problem. If you get to the core of the problem and take it out at its roots, the emotions stop impacting your trading. They go away, permanently. This is resolution.

Resolution means you have corrected the performance flaws causing your trading errors. Automatically, the things that would have triggered anger, greed, fear, or a loss of confidence simply don’t. The benefit of that is that you can stop managing, controlling, or working around your emotional reactions, because they are gone.

You can think of the difference between control and resolution as the difference between treating an illness (control) and curing it (resolution). Let’s say you are having chronic hip pain that you are treating with ibuprofen and ice. You are able to exercise and move around freely, but you have to keep up with your stretching, icing, and medicating routine, or you can’t exercise at full capacity. You are controlling the problem with treatment.

Now let’s say one day you mention this chronic pain to a physical therapist or sports trainer and he recognizes that you have muscle weakness and tension around the area. He teaches you simple stretches and exercises to build strength while stretching the muscles. Plus he suggests you get a few deep tissue massages to break-up some scar tissue. A couple weeks later, boom, the pain is gone. That’s resolution.

My System Is Designed to Get You There

What does your trading look like once you reach resolution? Your emotions aren’t gone in the sense that you’re void of them, like a robot. Quite the opposite. You’ll be:

Full of emotion, but the good kind—energized, confident, focused, and motivatedMore patient and able to let the market come to you, rather than chasing itFocused more on execution than PnLAble to handle lossesDecisive and rapid in your execution

Not only will your emotions be stable and positive, but the common trading mistakes you make when you’re blinded by greed, tilt, or fear will be gone as well. Why? Those emotions were the primary cause of your mistakes. This doesn’t mean you won’t make mistakes—no trader is perfect—but now your mistakes will be smaller comparatively.

To solve the problems in your trading, however, you need to dig deeper than you already are. In fact, you need to dig all the way to the roots. Because only when you address the root of the problem can you really resolve it. My system has been used by competitors at the top of their field to do this work and reach resolution.

In my system are three distinct stages and each stage has its own set of steps and strategies. The big picture is:

Map Your Pattern: This is exactly what it sounds like. You need to create a fact-based account of when and how your emotional volatility shows up. Over time you will be able to recognize a pattern and then you can work to disrupt how that pattern plays out.Identify the Roots of Your Problem: Here you dig deeper to find the hidden flaws, biases, illusions, and errors in learning that are the real cause of your problems.Correct Your Problem: This is about consistently and relentlessly working to correct the problems as they appear day-to-day. Like an athlete improving their technique, only you’re working on technique for the mind.

Emotions Signal a Problem— They’re Not the Problem

One of the first hurdles in improving your mental game is changing your perspective on emotion. You all know that emotions are constantly getting in the way of your performance. Fear is why you get out of a trade too early, greed is why you jump in too soon, anger is why you revenge trade. It’s simple, right? Not so fast. While it may appear that emotions such as fear, greed and anger are the problem and cause of your trading errors, these emotions are actually signals. This is a critical change in perspective. Emotions provide data on a host of things, including our underlying belief systems, goals, perspectives, and ingrained habits. Anger, greed, fear, overconfidence, and a lack of confidence are a signal of flaws in any of these areas. For example:

You get angry when you get stopped out by two ticks because it feels unjust – indicating a belief or wish that trading was fair.You greedily move your profit target trying to turn it into a home run – indicating an excessive drive to reach your goals immediately.You fear making a mistake and second-guess textbook trades – indicating an expectation of perfection.You become overconfident after your best month ever and stop working as hard – indicating an assumption that you’ve made it and it’s easy to keep making money.You lose confidence when in a drawdown because you’re convinced you’ll keep losing more – indicating a false belief that you know what will happen in the future.

These are a handful of the many performance flaws at the heart of the problems you experience in trading. These flaws, or wishes, biases and illusions, are the real cause of the emotional volatility that force errors in your execution and cost you money. From this perspective, the role of emotion completely changes. Rather than seeing emotion as the problem, instead see it as a messenger telling you exactly what to work on in your mental game. It’s your job to interpret what the emotion is trying to say. This is how I help my clients and what you’ll learn from my new book, The Mental Game of Trading.

Become a Detective

The clues to identifying the cause of your emotional reactions lie in the details of what comes out of that reaction. Much like a forensic detective analyzes the remnants of a detonated bomb, you need to look closely at your emotional reactions to understand the cause.

That’s a hard thing for many of you to do. So one thing I remind my clients is to “be a detective, not a dick.”

So many of us have a tendency to criticize our emotional and mental problems. If all you do is beat yourself up for having these problems or losing money because of them, you will just feel bad and make the situation worse.

Instead, be like a detective who is curious about understanding what’s causing the problem. You’ll actually have a much better shot at solving it this way. Look closely at the specific emotions, thoughts, actions, and decisions that are automatically triggered. They are the data that will help you understand the cause of the problem.

Be the detective and gather the clues. Typically, traders throw those clues out.

By choosing to blow off steam, or trying to forget what happened and move on, they are essentially deleting the missing pieces that can ultimately help them prevent future bombs from going off. Instead, you want to write the clues down and create a detailed map of your reactions.

Map Your Emotional Reactions

Gathering the clues of your emotional reactions is the first step. The next step is to map your pattern of reactions.

The good news is that your emotional reactions happen again and again for the same reason. There’s no randomness in the mental game. That’s good news because like the markets, you can identify patterns and develop a strategy.

The trouble is that many traders are blind to the patterns in their mental game, much like they couldn’t spot patterns in the market earlier in their career. But recognition is a skill like any other. The more you work at it the better you become. The key is to write down the details of why, for example, you FOMO into a random trade or quickly reenter losing trades out of anger. This is essential to eventually solving these and other problems.

To begin mapping your pattern, keep a record of what happens before, during, and after your trading mistakes. Look for:

ThoughtsEmotionsBehaviorsChanges to your decision-makingTrading mistake

Here’s an example of what you want to map:

Thoughts: I can’t believe this is happening. I’m not letting the market stop me—I’m going to get this trade right! Emotions: I want revenge when any trade I know has an edge doesn’t pay offBehaviors: I’m hyper-focused on one position and constantly looking at PnLChange in decision-making: I’m focused on getting revenge and getting my money backTrading mistake: I’m taking the same trade over and over, until it’s clear I’m wrong and getting nowhere

It will take time but eventually you will be able to recognize more and more of the signals and the payoff is huge. As one client told me “Asking ‘why’ has enabled me to learn from my patterns. I now have a routine that I use to prepare for a trading session, and my outcomes have improved enormously.”

Before the next time you trade, think back to previous instances where the errors happened, and start writing out those details as best you can. This way you can immediately avoid repeating some of these mistakes.

As this process gets easier, start looking for earlier signals. What happened before?  If you get too caught up in the day to remember to track your emotions, consider setting an alarm at some regular frequency that isn’t too disruptive (i.e., every 15, 30, or 60 minutes) to take stock of where you are. Some clients have also found meditation and mindfulness training to be beneficial in creating greater levels of awareness.

Emotions are complicated, but when you stop seeing them as the problem and start using them as signals, you’ll realize how invaluable they are to improving your mental game.

Why the Mental Game Matters in Trading

For those of you new to the mental game, here’s a blog I wrote for New Trader University about why the mental game matters. Click here to go to NewTraderU.

Your goal is to make money, but sometimes you find yourself losing money when you shouldn’t and leaving potential profits on the table. The question is why.

You’ll first look to tighten your technical skills by analyzing your trades, tightening your rules, and learning new techniques. That’s the correct first step. But when the bleeding continues, that’s proof the answer won’t come from that side of the game. Instead, the answer comes from the mental and emotional side of the game—your mental game, where you need to solve problems with greed, fear, anger, confidence or discipline. These problems are costing you more than you realize.

Emotions aren’t evil

Think about your most costly errors in execution. Do they include any of the following?

Forcing mediocre trade setupsHesitating on entriesExiting trades too earlyChasing the market price up and downMoving a stop too soonMoving your profit target before it hitsTalking yourself out of a good trade

When these mistakes occur repeatedly, and at times when you can’t stop yourself from making them, your emotions are the reason. They have the power to force you to make these mistakes.

This is critical so it bears repeating: Emotions are the reason you can’t stop these mistakes from happening.

Why? Because emotions have the power to reduce and even shut down your decision-making process entirely. This basic mechanism in the brain is something that no one can control. It’s hardwired. Many of you know it as the fight or flight mechanism. Once your emotional system becomes overactive, you lose access to knowledge that is critical to avoiding these mistakes.

Even though you can’t control this mechanism, that doesn’t mean you have no options. This is why the mental game matters—it provides you with an understanding of how your brain works so you can properly devise a strategy. Just like any other game, if you’re going to win, you need to know the rules. Otherwise, you have no chance of reliably correcting your trading mistakes.

You need a Mental Game System

You have a system that guides your decisions in the markets, so it makes sense to have one for the mental and emotional side of the game as well.

While I just said emotions are the reason you can’t stop yourself from repeating your common trading mistakes, that’s not the complete picture. Emotions are also a signal of flaws, biases, or illusions in the way that you approach trading. For example, you might expect perfection and get pissed off or lose confidence when getting stopped out for the second time in a row, and then force the next set up.

Perhaps you have a confirmation bias towards a swing trade that you just know is going to blow up, so you keep moving your profit target or re-entering after getting stopped out. Or maybe you believe that you’re unlucky, and that causes anger when you lose and jealousy of other traders you think have better luck than you. So you immediately re-enter losing trades out of anger and FOMO positions other traders are in even though they are outside your system.

These are three of the many performance flaws that are the real cause of your trading mistakes. Emotions like greed, fear, anger, overconfidence and low confidence are signals that highlight those flaws.

Conventional wisdom says that emotions are the problem—which is true given the impact that emotions have on decisions. But you’ve only gotten advice that tries to reduce, control, and release emotion. That doesn’t stop you from making those trading mistakes because it’s not solving the real problem—the performance flaws.

Instead, pay attention to what your emotions are telling you. That’s the key to finally disarming them and getting past the mistakes that continually trip you up.

My mental game system is the product of 15 years of work, and has been proven to be successful with institutional and individual traders from around the world. As well as golfers on the PGA Tour, world champion poker players, and championship winning esports teams, among other elite professionals. What makes it so effective is that it targets the root of your emotional problems—the performance flaws, like the ones I just mentioned. To kill a weed you need to get the roots out, otherwise it just keeps coming back again and again. My system gets the roots out. Here are three steps, each of which has different tools and strategies embedded within it:

1. Map Your Pattern: You need to identify an overall macro view of your emotional volatility in order to have a clear idea of what you will face on any given day. You also need a detailed map of what those emotional reactions look like at a micro level, so that in real time you can quickly spot them and minimize the damage.

2. Identify the Roots of Your Problem: To get to the real reason behind your problems, you need to uncover the hidden flaws, biases, and illusions, including errors in learning that can either prevent you from progressing or create significant ups and downs in your progress.

3. Correct Your Problem: This is where you tackle the problem head-on, by consistently applying the correction in real time.

The outcome of this system is the elimination of the performance flaws causing your trading mistakes. That doesn’t mean you’ll never make mistakes again, as if that were possible. What it means is that you’ll finally get over the hump and get past the repeated mistakes holding you back from realizing your potential as a trader.
