Learning to have the discipline and mental fortitude it takes to stick to your strategy is paramount to your success—AKA your ability to make money.

Learn to see from a different perspective

Scott attended the Art Institute in Seattle to study computer animation. So he was accustomed to looking at a computer screen for hours on end. He was able to pick up on shapes and see things from a larger perspective, which he believes set him up for success in trading. He saw things in the market that other people couldn’t pick up on because of his high-level view.

The reigning theory of the market is that it can do anything at any time and you never know how it’s going to react. But Scott disagrees—he’s learned to see repeating patterns and trends that happen at nearly the same time of day, every day. The market moves in a repeating pattern. It isn’t just a chaotic mess that we can’t learn to decipher. Read more in this guide to market psychology.

The psychological power of mindset

Most people have no idea what they’re getting into when they start trading. Scott points out that if they knew how long it would take to master trading, they would give up before even starting. Trading takes a lot of time and practice. You can’t learn how to trade over the weekend and instantly become a millionaire.

Being a successful trader means embracing psychology and mastering your trading mindset. Trading isn’t just technical. It isn’t just reading charts, following formulas, and delving into cold hard math. You have to learn how to persevere through challenges. Scott states, “The truth is, we are doing the highest level of entrepreneurial business activity.”

Scott sees engineers enter the trading field often because they think it’s all about following a simple formula. But you have to change the way you think. You have to let go of the subconscious beliefs you have about making money. Scott believes until you unencumber your mind, success will escape you. Learn more about this topic—keep listening!

Trading psychology is powerful

Scott points out that anyone who studies psychology comes to the conclusion that human beings are largely affected by their subconscious mind. He spent years studying Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), hypnosis, tapping, and more to overcome and reprogram his childhood memories.

Most of us have been conditioned from a young age to believe that money is the root of all evil, right? Many will also deny it. But if you don’t overcome this belief, you are setting yourself up to fail. The belief systems that our families ingrain in us impact the rest of our lives. Instead, you must create a new pathway for your brain to follow. You must reinforce positive thinking.

Scott’s trading strategy: Elliott Wave Trading

Scott doesn’t prefer to label what he does because of how people react: “Oh, I already know that” or “That strategy doesn’t work.” But when he originally learned about Elliott Wave Trading, he knew it was the methodology he would embrace. He saw the patterns in the market. He learned to see when there were distortions.

Elliott Wave is about following trends and corrections. If you learn to identify the end of trends and end of corrections, you see the pattern in the market. If you buy and sell following those trends, you’ll begin to see consistent results. Scott points out that no matter what time-frame you use, you’ll be able to see those trends. It’s a simple matter of looking at the charts and reading them correctly—no software or special indicators required.
