In this episode of the Learn to Swing Trade the Stock Market podcast, host Brian Montes discusses the common temptation among traders to focus on their profit and loss (P&L) rather than the trading process and risk management. He emphasizes the importance of concentrating on the trade itself, outlining three key reasons why focusing on P&L can undermine decision-making, distort risk perception, and drain emotional capital. Brian provides actionable strategies for managing P&L focus and encourages traders to trust their systems and engage with supportive trading communities for long-term success. In this episode, you will learn - - Why do you need to focus on the process, not the profits. - Emotions should not dictate your trading decisions. - Manage risk, not just profits. - Emotional capital is as necessary as financial capital. - Trading can be stressful enough without added strain. - Hide the P&L column to reduce stress. - Trust your system and manage your risk.
