How Your Mind Sabotages Your Trades: Unlocking the Psychology of Successful Trading
Welcome to season 3, episode 11 of the Day Trading for Beginners Podcast! In this episode, we talk about the critical topic of trading psychology, exploring a powerful quote from Jared Tendler’s book, The Mental Game of Trading: “The charts are a mirror that reflects your inner self.” We discuss how your emotions, biases, and mental blocks shape your trading decisions and how Tendler’s system can help you turn psychological flaws into strengths.Note: This episode was originally released under the podcast name Day Trading for Beginners, now rebranded as Stock Trading for Beginners.Resources:Join our FREE Skool group: https://Skool.com/tradingDownload the 6 Month Blueprint: https://stokestrades.com/blueprintKey Topics DiscussedIntroduction to Trading PsychologyWhy technical know-how isn’t enough—your mindset can make or break your strategy.The importance of joining our free Skool community (skool.com/trading) to learn and share experiences.Overview of The Mental Game of Trading by Jared Tendler, a top mental performance coach who applies lessons from competitive golf to trading.The Quote: “The Charts Are a Mirror That Reflects Your Inner Self”Charts provide objective data (prices, volume, trends), but your reactions reveal emotions like fear, greed, or hesitation.How your internal world—biases, past traumas, or impulses—distorts your interpretation of market data.Using charts not just for market analysis but as a tool for self-reflection to turn losses into lessons.Jared Tendler’s ApproachTendler frames common trading mistakes (chasing, overtrading) as psychological, not technical, issues.Emotions like greed, fear, and anger are root causes of trading errors.Practical tools like journaling, visualization, and mapping emotional patterns to build mental resilience.Treating emotions as data to identify triggers and correct flaws.Real-World ExamplesExample 1: A trader hesitates during a breakout pattern due to fear from past losses, missing an opportunity and feeling frustrated (“tilt” in poker terms). Tendler’s system suggests journaling emotions and using pre-trade routines to build confidence.Example 2: An overconfident trader takes an oversized position on a head-and-shoulders pattern, amplifying losses. Reflection reveals a need for validation through wins, not strategy.Actionable Tips to Apply Tendler’s PhilosophyJournal Your Feelings: After each trade, note how the chart made you feel (stressed, excited, etc.) and compare it to the objective data (price, volume).Spot Emotional Triggers: Identify chart patterns (e.g., sudden drops or breakouts) that spark fear, greed, or FOMO (fear of missing out).Stay Calm with Visualization: View charts as neutral tools, like a mirror, to avoid emotional reactions.Maintain Emotional Balance: Avoid overtrading or overconfidence by keeping a steady, patient mindset.Send me some feedback!Join Our Free Community on Skool:https://www.skool.com/trading

Why I Quit Going All-In on Tesla - A Beginner’s Trading Lesson
Welcome to season 3, episode 10 of the Day Trading for Beginners Podcast! I'm Tyler Stokes and in this episode, I share my journey of moving away from being an all-in Tesla investor. After achieving over 65% portfolio gains in just a few months of trading real money, I’ve learned valuable lessons about diversification, technical analysis, and avoiding the pitfalls of putting all your eggs in one basket. This episode reveals why I shifted my investment strategy and how technical analysis transformed my approach to trading.Disclaimer: This is not financial advice—just my personal story to help you reflect on your own investment decisions.Note: This episode was originally released under the podcast name Day Trading for Beginners, now rebranded as Stock Trading for Beginners.Resources:Join our FREE Skool group: https://Skool.com/tradingDownload the 6 Month Blueprint: https://stokestrades.com/blueprintPortfolio updates: Trading Challenge 2025Key Topics Discussed:The All-In Tesla TrapWhy I was captivated by Tesla’s innovation, leadership, and growth from 2020 onward.The risks of having my entire portfolio in one stock, despite riding Tesla’s surge.The volatility and opportunity costs (e.g., missing Nvidia’s 10x growth from 2022–2025).Lessons from Market VolatilityTesla’s rollercoaster ride: From $400 to $100 and back, losing 75% at its low.Realizing fundamentals don’t drive short-term stock prices—price charts do.How a basic understanding of market structure in 2022 could have signaled a pivot.The Power of Technical AnalysisDiscovering price charts as the real-time story of a stock’s performance.How charts signaled Tesla’s trouble before bad news hit, unlike fundamentals.Using support, resistance, and momentum to time entries and exits.Why Diversification WinsNo single stock stays the best forever—diversification reduces risk and stress.Shifting from dismissing diversification to embracing it as a strategic tool.Building a core portfolio of 5–10 stocks with strong momentum, guided by technical analysis.Rebalancing My PortfolioReducing Tesla exposure in tax-efficient accounts (e.g., TFSA, RRSP) to avoid heavy taxes.Selling at resistance zones and buying other stocks at support zones.Maintaining Tesla as my largest position while exploring other high-potential stocks.Lessons LearnedConviction in one stock has limits—flexibility and informed decisions win.Regularly assess charts, rebalance when needed, and prioritize diversification.The market rewards adaptability, not blind loyalty to a single stock.Why This MattersIf you’re heavily invested in one stock (Tesla or otherwise), my journey might encourage you to rethink your approach. Studying price charts and embracing diversification can open the door to a more resilient financial future.

Up 65% in 4 Months! - My July Trading Update Awaits
Welcome to season 3, episode 9 of the Day Trading for Beginners Podcast! I'm Tyler Stokes from StokesTrades.com, and in this episode, I'm excited to share my portfolio gains—up 65% after four months of trading real money—and discuss the momentum trading strategy that's been working for me. Note: This episode was originally released under the podcast name Day Trading for Beginners, now rebranded as Stock Trading for Beginners.Resources:Join our FREE Skool group: https://Skool.com/tradingDownload the 6 Month Blueprint: https://stokestrades.com/blueprintPortfolio updates: Trading Challenge 2025How Momentum Trading Works:1. Spot Opportunities: Find stocks in strong uptrends on daily/weekly charts (higher highs, higher lows). Use TradingView screeners or Grok to build a watchlist of high-potential stocks (e.g., crypto, AI, tech).2. Buy at Support: Enter at proven support zones where indicators align (Ichimoku Cloud, moving averages, Fibonacci retracements, Gann Squares). Start with 1-3% positions to manage risk—never buy at resistance.3. Ride and Accumulate: Hold as stocks rise, adding shares at new support zones during pullbacks. Cap exposure at 10% per stock. Ride momentum for weeks/months, avoiding premature sells.4. Exit Strategically: Sell when momentum fades (broken support, flat trends, lower highs). Take partial profits or exit fully to lock in gains and rotate capital.Why It Works: This low-stress strategy avoids emotional traps like FOMO or overtrading, focusing on patience and high-probability setups. It’s ideal for beginners with busy schedules, but trading carries risks, and results aren’t guaranteed.Send me some feedback!Join Our Free Community on Skool:https://www.skool.com/trading
