Adam works with a client to help them break a pattern of revenge trading or emotional trading, where traders often chase losses by trying to quickly recoup what they have lost. This client would abandon their strategy when emotionally triggered, and Adam helps them feel more aligned with being a cal,m confident trader rather than an emotionally speculative gambler.

(00:05):
Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing
genuine. Issues.
Brought to you by The Hypnotherapist, demanded by
celebrities CE OS and even royalty Adam Cox, these
recordings took place live from Evans Clinic in London's world
famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and

(00:31):
enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
Now, I don't know if you are an investor or a trader, but if you
are, you will appreciate how important managing your emotions
are when it comes to being a good trader and a good investor.

(00:53):
In fact, fear, fear and greed are two of the strongest
emotions that you can get. But they're not the only
emotions. You can have anger, you can have
frustration, you can have impatience.
And I was working with a client that would revenge trade.
Revenge trade is kind of chasingyour losses.
It's losing a trade and then trying to make that back

(01:15):
quickly. And the problem with that is
that quite often it leads to inferior decision making and
throwing out a proven strategy. And that was the case with the
client that I was working with. They had a strategy that if they
followed it diligently would make profit 70% of the time.
But if they revenge trade and did the emotional trading, they

(01:38):
would place bigger bets and theywould have a lower quality
criteria to make trades and thatwould only make profit 30% of
the time. So this uses the.
Analogy of. It being a test of their
resolve, like how capable are they of being unshakeable in the
sense of these things that couldrattle other people and to not

(02:01):
fall into the trap of being baited to become a gambler when
really what they wanted to be was an analytical trader.
And they could really take pridein being this analytical trader.
So this may be a bit too specialist if you don't invest
or you're not a trader. I love investing.
I love particularly active trading where I'm setting like

(02:21):
buy order, sell orders, you know, checking my positions.
Not everyone is like this, but the client that I was working
with, they, they did what I do, but they do it on a daily basis.
They're trying to make profit every single day.
I'm a more long term investor, but the psychology is still the
same. It's about effectively making a
trade, mitigating risk, making good decisions and following

(02:45):
your thesis, following your strategy and trying to avoid
those kind of overly emotional, intuitive responses.
So if this resonates, you'll getsome value from this session.
And if it doesn't and you want something a bit more bespoke for
you, have a look at the link in the description and schedule A
free consultation call with me. For now though, find a quiet,
comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.

(03:05):
Relax and enjoy the session. And I wonder if you could
breathe in even deeper than you normally would, really feeling
your diaphragm and chest expand.And as you exhale, just imagine

(03:33):
elongating that outward breath so it enables you to drift
deeper and further and more relaxed.
And as your body relaxes, your imagination awakens.

(03:55):
And I want you to imagine what it would be like to be walking
on the coast. And I want you to imagine seeing
the calm ocean. And I want you to imagine
thinking that if you had a smallboat, it is completely safe and

(04:21):
enjoyable to take that small boat out on the ocean when the
seas are calm and the weather isgood.
But then imagine the clouds turning grey.

(04:44):
I want you to imagine winds, storms, and I want you to
imagine seeing those waves high,strong, volatile.
I don't want you to get the feeling then what is a great

(05:06):
decision when the waves are calmbecomes a reckless decision to
take the boat out onto the oceanwhen the waves are strong and
intense and unpredictable. And I want you to get a feeling

(05:33):
that sometimes your emotions feel like the volatile waves.
And in the same way that it wouldn't make sense to take a
boat out onto the ocean until the waves have calmed down, I
want you to feel that you are planting a seed of an idea that

(05:59):
to be a stoic, analytical trader, it's.
Important not to. Trade during an emotional storm.
And I want you to get a feeling that you're planting that seed
of an idea that if you are feeling emotional, the strategy

(06:25):
is not to take the boat out ontothe waves, but to allow time for
the waves to calm back down again.
And now imagine the waves doing that.
Calm, smooth waves, sunny weather and blue skies.

(06:48):
And now it becomes a perfect time to take that small boat
back out onto the waves. I want you to get a feeling what
is a great decision can also be a horrible decision even though

(07:10):
the ocean is exactly the same. I want you to feel it's the
conditions that can make it goodor bad, but also the size of
your boat. I want you to get a feeling that
you're now there, perhaps closerto the ocean, seeing the calm,

(07:36):
gentle waves. Imagine hearing those waves and
I want you to feel that your body is getting deeper and
deeper, relaxed. And then imagine seeing a door
just there by the ocean, but notconnected to a building.

(08:01):
Maybe a wooden door, A metal door.
Imagine the frame. Imagine the door and the handle.
And it's weird because it shouldn't even be standing up
straight. And it dawns on you.
This is a portal. A portal that will take you to

(08:23):
your own private cinema to give you a new perspective on a
useful change that would be goodto make.
As I count, from 5:00 to 1:00, you will imagine standing in
front of that door, opening the door, walking through the door

(08:45):
and walking into your very own private cinema. 5 putting your
hand on the handle, 4 turning the handle, 3 opening the door,
2 walking through the door, and one closing the door behind you

(09:07):
as you now found yourself no longer by the ocean, but in your
own private cinema. No one else is there, and I want
you to find the most comfortableseat with the perfect view of
the screen. And I want you to imagine seeing

(09:28):
yourself there on that screen, the last time you felt on tilt,
triggered, angry, perhaps because a trade didn't go your
way. But you're not in your body.

(09:50):
You're just the observer. And I wonder if you could see
yourself on that screen evaluating something that didn't
seem fair, right? It was unjust in some way.
And maybe you can tell from yourfacial expression or your
posture or the tension in your body that you were emotionally

(10:15):
affected by that outcome. And then see that version of you
triggered by that trade, revengetrading.
See that version of you loweringstandards and increasing bed

(10:37):
sizes? That version of you is trying to
do what every form of revenge does that vigilante justice to
right or wrong. But I want you to see, because
you've increased your risk and reduce your standards, See that

(11:03):
version of you deviating from your strategy.
And I want you to see that person on screen shifting from
being an analytical trader to a reckless gambler, perhaps within
minutes. And I want you to see that

(11:26):
version of you increasing the frequency of your trades,
avoiding that discerning setup, impulsively trading, taking more
risk. And if you can see that that

(11:49):
version of you is decreasing your probability of success
through that revenge trading, let me know by nodding your
head. That's in.
And I want you to imagine rewinding that very same thing

(12:12):
and pausing it. But before we go back to that
version of you, I want you to imagine you see someone else on
that screen, someone that you consider to be an unshakable
traitor. The chaos can happen.

(12:34):
Something unjust, unfair, and nothing would make them deviate
from their system, their strategy.
And once you see that version ofthat person, that unshakeable
person, I want you to imagine putting them on the receiving

(12:57):
end of that same trade that triggered you.
And maybe you can tell from their face.
Then they've also evaluated the loss, the unfairness, but
they're not triggered by it. Maybe you see them ambivalent,

(13:20):
unbothered, unfazed, or maybe stoic.
They accept the outcome happenedthat they didn't want, but that
doesn't mean they're going to lose their cool.
So imagine that unshakable trader in the same situation

(13:43):
that you found yourself triggered.
And if you feel that they're responding to it in a way that
would be more useful for you, let me know by nodding your
head. And I want you to see that
version of them taking it on thechin saying it's just the 30%

(14:10):
that doesn't work out. No anger, no rage, no
frustration, no annoyance. They treat it like the same way
that someone would treat a bug hitting the front of a
windscreen. Not even enough to stop the car.

(14:38):
I want you to feel that when these trades don't go your way,
you evaluate your process. If the process was the right
process, then you can feel happyeven if the outcome wasn't that
which you desired. I want you to feel empowered

(15:05):
that actually these unfair things are tests and traps.
Test to test your emotional strength, to be unshakeable when
it matters. But the trap is that it baits

(15:27):
you to deviate from your strategy.
The market wants you to go on full tilt to get emotional, to
revenge trade, because when it does, the triggered person's
money ends up flowing to the unshakeable person.

(15:56):
I want you to imagine going backto that version of you that you
rewind it to the beginning. This time see a version of you
that has the same facial expression, that same
unshakeable quality of that trader that would never take the

(16:20):
bait. Imagine seeing the same thing
happen and then try out two different scenarios.
The first is that you see yourself looking angry or
annoyed, but instead of revenge trading, see that version of you

(16:41):
go for a walk, have a short workout or maybe skip for 5
minutes or use the punch bag andwhen you return, see that
version of you almost like the ocean that was volatile and then

(17:03):
found its calm. Or perhaps you can see yourself
unflappable, unfazed. See that version of you where
these things that triggered you in the past no longer do
anymore? That you can consider it an

(17:32):
ingredient into the same cake that if you have a 70% win rate,
then you will lose 30% of the time.
And that's OK. And sometimes that will feel
fair and sometimes it will feel unfair.

(17:55):
But you can put it in the same bucket of just being that 30% or
it doesn't go your way in order for you to be rewarded for the
70% of the time when it does. Because the alternative is that

(18:17):
it baits you into becoming reckless, emotional and like a
gambler. But I want you to see a version
of you that can see the bait butdoesn't take it, like an
intelligent mouse seeing the cheese in the trap and deciding

(18:39):
that that cheese is not valuableenough for the risk that it
carries. And I want you to feel that the
idea of instinctively revenge trading is like that cheese in
that trap. It seems appealing, but it comes

(19:01):
at a cost. And that cost is then you're
willing to give away a 70% strategy in order to use a 30%
strategy. And I want you to imagine,

(19:23):
imagine another case where you're willing to give someone
money where it makes no logical sense just because you're
emotional. I want you to imagine having a
bad meal because you had that bad meal straight away.

(19:47):
You bought a worse meal and thenate the worst meal immediately
afterwards. And that doesn't make sense when
it comes to food, and it doesn'tmake sense when it comes to
trading either. I want you to see that version
of you on the screen, immune andunshakeable.

(20:13):
Nothing will make you take the bait of that revenge trade.
You either carry on, or you allow yourself to dissipate any
emotions and let everything calmdown.
And just like that Professional Golf player or poker player,

(20:39):
they don't let one bad hand or hole creep into the next one.
And when you found the scenario that feels good for you, that it
would work, that even if something unfair happens, you

(21:01):
wouldn't take the bait. Just see that version of you on
that cinema screen, Rewind it, step into the screen and imagine
yourself a week from now. Something happens similar.
Neither the thing doesn't botheryou anymore, or if it does it's

(21:25):
a reminder to do something to calm your waves.
And maybe you decide to have a rule in the same way that the
boat owner by the sea would say I will never go into the water

(21:51):
if there is a storm in the sea. And maybe you have a rule,
something you add to your strategy to make you truly that
analytical trader, that if you are too emotional, you don't
trade. And only when you feel stoic and

(22:16):
centered, rational and analytical, then you make that
trade. And if your unconscious agrees,
let me know by nodding your head.
And I want you to imagine the worst thing that's ever happened
in a trade happening in that moment and still feel immune to

(22:41):
taking that bait. These things are either tests to
test your resilience and your resolve, or a trap to bait you
into becoming a gambler. And from this point onwards,

(23:02):
each time you see those things that triggered you in the past,
you will either pass the test orrefuse to take the bait.
And in doing so, you become evenmore of that wise, calm, stoic,

(23:28):
rational, analytical trader thatyou are at your core.
No situation will bait you to becoming a gambler.
And then imagine leaving that screen, seeing yourself on the
screen looking unshakeable. I want you to see yourself

(23:53):
looking more unshakeable than that other person that you
considered unshakeable and accept this is your compelling
vision of the future. And every trigger is an

(24:15):
opportunity to either become this unshakeable analytical
trader or to allow your emotionsto win and become the gambler.
And whichever version of you youreward more is the one you will

(24:41):
get more of. But you know who you want to be,
and that intention is already helping to lay the new neural
pathways to create that possibility.

(25:03):
Soon as you leave that cinema, take this unshakable analytical
trader with you. You're almost looking forward to
previous triggers so that you can hardwire this identity in,

(25:23):
because you can only feel unshakable if something tries to
shake you. You can only refuse to take the
bait if you're baited into that emotional version of you.

(25:44):
So as you leave the cinema, findyourself back out there on the
shore, the feeling of shift has taken place.
Feeling a sense of resolve, feeling a sense of empowerment,
looking forward to being tested.And now it's time to float all

(26:06):
the way back to your present, taking these changes with you.
So take a deep breath in throughyour nose and out through your
nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken

(26:26):
you. Starting to count 123 waking up
456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
Open your eyes 910. Wide awake.
Wide awake. Wide awake.
