Hey Traders in this podcast I am talking about how hard it can be to be  and stay disciplined in trading. This is even if you have a plan and the  frustrations that can sometimes arise. I went over an example that  happened to me this morning on a trade I barely missed entries on which  would have been a winner but how it was a GOOD Non Trade. The reason for  this is because it was not apart of my plan. Being a disciplined trader  will test you but we do it for a reason. Looking closer at...

What sparked this podcast was a Q&A from my mentor Akil Stokes that  watched today in which he said something that really stuck in my head.  As traders we focus so much on the Forex strategy in the beginning when  we begin to learn Forex Trading.

There are many Forex Trading Strategies out there for  traders to learn  but instead we should be focusing on learning...
