Louise Bedford on gender in the markets and which comes first the chick or the dreg, Chris Tate on how to kick start a small account and Adam Talbot on the little things that make success.Mindpower – Louise BedfordResearch by Harvard sociologist Rosabeth Kanter on her study Men and Women of the Corporation found that women tend to be pigeon-holed in a corporation and typecast into 4 categories:  Mother Pet Seductress Iron Maiden.But the research showed when more women were employed those gender-based differences dissolved.We don’t have enough female traders.In the Trading Game community 30% of traders are female but in retail CFD markets only 10% are women clients.Let’s start encouraging gender equality with trading. Trading has true longevity for people, it doesn’t rely on the power of your body it relies on the power of your mind.It a viable way of keeping money in your twenties and thirties and into old age.This research inspired and encouraged Louise to keep speaking out. She really wants to see you succeed and share in your success as you upgrade your lifestyle and realise what you are capable of and step into your power and identity as a trader.  A Little Trading - Chris TateIf you had a small account of 5k what would you do to kick it off?To start small Chris would get used to dealing in the markets and learn to acclimatise your responses.The markets show people what they are really like – ill disciplined, lazy, frightened, and unwilling to do the things that make you successful.How you respond will be the harbinger to if you are successful. Book Review The Slight Edge – Adam Talbot mentoree of 2016Adam reads this book once a year and the one book that has made the biggest impact on his life personal.The message of The Slight Edge is the secrets to success are the little choices we make each day - the little things that are easy to do and also easy not to do.Over time the compound effect of these little choices will lead you to the success you desire. Do the little things that matter ESPECIALLY when no one is watching.Free tickets for the Online Trading Summit"Join me today at the Online Trading Summit, a free online event featuring video interviews and presentations with more than 30+ top traders (including yours truly).It’s going live during the week of 10th - 16th September 2018 and includes interviews with top traders who will share with you how they got started with trading and their personal secrets to sustaining long-term success in trading.I’m presenting on one of my favourite topics in the whole world… candlesticks, but in a way that you’ve never seen before.

This episode will punch through any confusion you're feeling.Mindpower – Louise BedfordStop Procrastinating!To get over procrastination break down that big project into tiny chunks and once you have started you are more likely to continue.SHAME is a big reason people procrastinate. The best way to overcome it is consider the project done and associate good feelings with it.Then truly you will be a high performer.Chris TateWe are treasure hunters ….  but often in the wrong way.Good traders BUY NEW HIGHS.But many people don’t grasp this concept easily. You will never be wealthy buying something that is going down. In Chris’s mind most people are fossicking around in their grandmother’s underwear draw looking for shillings she collected when she was younger while the sensible people and good traders are looking in the right spot.They have the right key to the bank vault.BUY NEW HIGHS.The sheer simplicity of trading can bamboozle people because they expect it to be immensely complex.But in reality all you need to do is listen to the markets and they will tell you everything you need to know.And make sure you keep talking to other traders to get the support you need. They are the only ones who will understand your pain, your frustration, your growth and the errors you make.In fact part of a traders resume is to be wrong. Trading is one of those professions where you are paid to be wrong and the traders who make the fewer errors wins.And remember successful people have a directed given PURPOSE. Everyone is a beginner is something, the most successful beginners GET THE BASICS RIGHT. Louise Bedford is a best-selling author of six sharemarket books, host of the Talking Trading podcast, and founder of TradingGame.com.au, one of Australia’s leading trading education communities.For over 30 years she has helped traders master trading the Australian sharemarket, technical analysis, and trading psychology so they can build long-term financial independence.www.tradinggame.com.au www.talkingtrading.com.au.FacebookYouTube TwitterLinkedIn
