One of the reasons why people lose money in the market is lack of trading knowledge. No proper education on how the market moves. People think that they can quickly make money by simply investing in the stock market without proper education so they take short cuts and refuse to improve their trading knowledge. The result is, these people most of the time end up scared of the market after taking huge losses – that’s what we call trading engrams. What is an engram?
Engram: “a mental image picture which is a recording of an experience containing pain, unconsciousness and a real or fancied threat to survival. It is a recording in the reactive mind of something which actually happened to an individual in the past and which contained pain and unconsciousness … It must, by definition, have impact or injury as part of its content. These engrams are a complete recording, down to the last accurate detail, of every perception present in a moment of partial or full unconsciousness.” (source: wikipedia)
An engram literally gets embedded into your body’s cells, it’s that powerful! When you are trading and become disappointed with what is happening, you are creating engrams. Every time you lose money in the stock market and something doesn’t go right, the emotion you feel creates an engram. You embed that not only in the brain cells, but you embed that in your body’s cells all the way to your fingers. That is why you have a hard time with the market, you have programmed yourself to always have a hard time with the market! Unless you change your engrams, your experience with the market will never change!
An engram becomes a belief. It is a belief that is not floating anymore but is now planted solidly within you. It is a belief that has been morphed into the cells of the brain and body. It becomes part of you. It is expected results in any similar situation.
