Q: I am considering the How to Develop a Winning Trading System Workshop. My issue is not being able to ‘pull the trigger’. I am a value investor and find only 10 ideas a year. I have had a lot of success over 20 years and can cut losses. But I can never take full positions. Is this course for me?
A: The primary objective of the systems development course is to help traders understand the process of system development so they can create systems on their own or modify other’s systems to fit themselves. It sounds like you have a positive expectancy system already so your issue is not related as much to your system’s performance as to your execution of it as a trader. Fear of pulling the trigger is a psychological issue.
If you are interested in a course to address that issue, the Peak Performance Home Study course can help you understand why you might be sabotaging yourself that way and some possible resolutions. As far as our workshops, nearly the entire Peak Performance 101 workshop helps people address a host of issues that hold back their trading.
Here are some questions to consider regarding the less than full position size issue: Do you know how much this is costing you on an annual basis? Have you tried to resolve the issue already? If so, how? Has it helped at all? How does it affect your feelings about your trading?
Depending on your answers, it may be a huge problem or a very minor one. In either case, let us know how we can help you trade better.
