How Your 60-Second Elevator Script Can Transform Your Staff, Your Sales, & Your Business s to mind would probably be, “There must be something wrong with my system”, or “I knew it, I shouldn’t have taken this trade” (even when your system signaled it). But sometimes we need to dig a little deeper in order to see the nature of our mistake, and then work on it accordingly. This means looking at the possible psychological biases you may have when it comes to developing and executing a trading system. This is explained in more detail below.When attending a Chamber of Commerce breakfast networking get-together, I'm always perplexed by the lack of thought and preparation many business owners display when giving a 60-second overview of their business. These people have spent enormous amounts of time, money, and energy on their businesses. Yet, when asked to give a quick synopsis, they fumble for the right words, they ramble, they go off on a tangent, the information is disjointed, or the words are boring and seemingly unimportant.Their performance creates a very poor representation of what is otherwise a very good business. Listeners have forgotten the pitch before it's even over!Some people have a natural gift for speaking wel Selling and Marketing Concepts; Why do people buy from you? Trading psychology is one of the most important areas a trader must understand. Most traders often overlook this crucial area, believing that trading systems are the most important aspect of trading successfully. However, when you think about it, your beliefs about the market can have a significant effect on how you trade.Have you ever considered why people buy from you or your company? Do you know why your customers and prospects choose you over your competition? Surely you have some theories or ideas as to why this is right? Is your marketing good enough or do you wish it were better? Are you able to sell to your target market and develop the leads you need?Can you honestly say that your marketing is indeed as good as it gets? How can you say that? Have you been tracking the results? Are you sure of what you are looking at? Have you surveyed your customers to insure they are also indeed coming to buy your products or services for the same reason that you think that they are? Have you monitored your sales figures against your marketing co To illustrate the importance of psychology, the following is a quote from world renowned trading coach Dr Van Tharp: “When I’ve had discussions about what’s important to trading, three areas typically come up: psychology, money management (i.e., position sizing), and system development. Most people emphasize system development and de-emphasize the other two topics. More sophisticated people suggest that all three aspects are important, but that psychology is the most important (about 60 percent), position sizing is the next most important (about 30 percent), and system development is the least important (about 10 percent).” When it comes to trading, one of the most neglected subjects are those dealing with trading psychology. The majority of traders spend days, months and even years trying to find the right system to suit them. But having the right trading system is just a small part of what is really needed to trade forex, or any other financial market successfully. Don’t get me wrong, it is still important to find or develop a trading system that suits you, however, it is also important to have a well defined money management plan, as well as an understanding of all the psychological barriers that may affect the trader’s decisions when trading. In order to succeed in the business of trading, there must be a balance between all these important aspects of trading. In the trading environment, when you lose a trade, the first idea that pops to mind would probably be, “There must be something wrong with my system”, or “I knew it, I shouldn’t have taken this trade” (even when your system signaled it). But sometimes we need to dig a little deeper in order to see the nature of our mistake, and then work on it accordingly.

There I discovered my yearning of being a person that smiled a lot and was uplifting for others. Dang, I’m no teacher and seriously I never envisioned myself standing in front of a class full of curious kids, forcing them to learn boring formulas.

But sometimes we need to dig a little deeper in order to see the nature of our mistake, and then work on it accordingly. This means looking at the possible psychological biases you may have when it comes to developing and executing a trading system. This is explained in more detail below.Streaming live audio involves using bitrates. What are bitrates? Bitrate is the bandwidth used to send a stream to the listener. If you are going to broadcast via the internet you must choose a bitrate to send the content to the listener. When choosing bitrate you must take into consideration your target audience. Will my listeners be using a broadband connection such as dsl or cable, or will they be using a dial up connection.Streaming at a bitrate higher than the listener can download results in buffering.

From my research I believe the main reason for this is a lack of understanding of what a trader should actually be taking into account, which could be largely attributed to their own psychological biases they have toward trading. Psychological Biases To best explain how trading psychology isn’t just about positive thinking, here is an example of how your psychological biases can effect your trading. Consider a new trader that has an interest in trading the forex market. They would most likely believe that a trading system is the place to start, so they go off on the internet and search for keywords such as “forex trading system”, or “trading system”. They would also be likely to want to find a trading system that is very accurate, say around 80% + accuracy. The reason for this? Well from my research I have discovered that this way of thinking has been taught to us at a very young age mostly by the school system. School teaches us to be right 80% + of the time, and if we are not, we are considered a failure. The internet can also be blamed for this. If you were to search for anything trading system related, you would soon be bombarded with advertisements such as “System produces 90% accurate trades” or for those advertisers who are really pushing their luck: “100% wins, 250+ trades, NO losers BUY NOW!” All these advertisements cause you to believe that it is necessary to be right the majority of the time in order to succeed at trading. Now the problem here is two fold. Firstly, their belief that a trading system is so important is not actually correct. There are other factors that are in fact more impor
