What makes supertraders consistently successful? It isn't that they

are smarter than you are; it isn't that they have more money than

you have; and it isn't that they have more knowledge than you have.

Knowledge in and of itself will not make money for you in the market.

While knowledge is power, knowledge without the ability to act

on it and without emotional control is worthless. All the analysis

and knowledge in the world will not do you any good unless you can pull the trigger when it comes time to buy or sell. Some of the most

intelligent and knowledgeable people cannot trade successfully. For

example, trading system designers who design systems for institutional

traders and the public have a vast knowledge of trading and

the mechanics of the markets, but most of them cannot trade effectively

using their own trading systems. They lack mental focus and

emotional control.

Successful traders perceive the internal and external world

much differently than you do. They see more than is on the surface

and tend to see connections between things very quickly. They tend

to be very much in control of their emotions and have intense focus.

When they trade, they are totally focused, yet fluid and able to

quickly adapt to market volatility. They view losses not as a personal

affront but as nothing more than the cost of doing business.

They do not equate losses with personal failure. You win some, you

lose some.

After doing the appropriate analysis they make decisions and

act on them quickly. In almost every case, successful traders excel

in the art of technical analysis. They see relationships in chart patterns

and trends that others miss. This is because consistently successful

traders tend to be visual and have the ability to see graphic

relationships and patterns within price data.

The primary reason for the success of these traders is their

ability to enter a totally different state of mind known as the alpha

zone. It is difficult for most traders and aggressive investors to

understand that success or failure is due to a state of mind. Athletes

understand this concept very well. Today's modern athlete prepares

mentally as well as physically for the game. All serious athletes

credit this mental preparation for giving them an edge over

their competition. Most battles are won or lost before the first shot

is fired, and this preparation begins in the alpha zone.
