Another Bad Goal for Traders? | STR 524

One of the more challenging parts of being a trader is figuring out the difference between good goals and bad goals. Unfortunately, this is not always a black-and-white situation where a goal is blatantly bad (or good). If you wonder why day trading failure rates are so high, in my opinion, I would say “goal setting” is one of those core reasons. I realize this sounds a bit backwards. Most of us growing up are taught to set goals, strive for goals, and of course… never give up until the goal is achieved! In so many areas of life, this is a fantastic attitude that will produce great results. In the world of trading however, the lines get blurred in a hurry. In this episode I want to talk through a goal that I think does more harm than good.
