8 Ways Daily Affirmations Can Potentially Improve Your Trading

Blair Nightingale • July 3, 2024


Stock Trading Affirmations and Increased Profitability 


We know what you’re thinking: Daily stock trading affirmations couldn’t possibly help with my bottom line, could they? But once you’ve been trading for a while, you come to realize that your mindset influences how well you trade. Practicing daily stock trading affirmations can help prime your mind to think positively about your ongoing trades, and give you the potential to make better trades. 


Ex: I am a consistently profitable stock trader.


Stock Trading Affirmations for Better Discipline 


Lots of mistakes in stock trading happen because of fear. That’s because when fear kicks in, it’s tempting to abandon your trading plan. How can you stick to your trade plan despite your fear? Start practicing daily stock trading affirmations to help you become a level headed trader who consistently plans their trades and trades their plan. Remind yourself daily that you are a person who keeps your own stock trading rules–and you will become more likely to.


Ex: I know how to find my edge and I am disciplined at following my plan. 

I keep my rules!


Stock Trading Affirmations to Help You Stick to a Stock Trading Routine


Sticking to a routine is crucial to finding success as a stock trader. Saying stock trading affirmations about sticking to a routine can help you do just that. It’s a gentle way (no guilt-trips needed) to be much more consistent with your stock trading schedule.


Ex: I always define and follow my routine.


Stock Trading Affirmations and Not Taking Losses So Hard


Losses happen! They are a part of being a stock trader. But when you take losses too hard, it can negatively impact your future trades. Saying stock trading affirmations about putting losses into perspective, and how they are okay and natural in every stock trader’s journey, can help you get back on track (and back to profitability) faster. 


Ex: I understand that breakthrough in my trading is measured over time. I do not allow a single trade to become everything.


Stock Trading Affirmations Can Help You Trade More Efficiently


Many of us get into trading to make money faster and spend less time making it, right? So each week you can focus on making your trading habits more streamlined is a week you move closer to that goal. More time does not always equal better results. Learn to work efficiently and on the most impactful things to truly improve your trading. A stock trading affirmation that reminds you to do this can help you do it!


Ex: I understand that being busy is not the same as being productive. I define and refine my process every week.


Stock Trading Affirmations and Reminders to Build Your Trading Community


Trading can feel lonely–but it doesn’t have to be. Trading in community with other students and mentors is key to becoming the best trader you can be. Stock trading affirmations that remind you to build a trading community around yourself will help you reap the benefits of doing so. Don’t have one yet? Check out our Mentorship Hub where you can learn one on one with highly qualified and experienced stock trading coaches.


Ex: Some say trading is a lonely profession…This is not true for me. I am connected and empowered by community and accountability.


Stock Trading Affirmations to Remember to Learn From Your Mistakes


If you think you should never make a mistake as a trader, think again! It’s okay if you have made mistakes and it’s okay if you continue to make mistakes as a trader. Nobody trades perfectly. It’s what you do next that counts. Do you learn from your mistakes? Or do you feel shame that gets in the way of you truly looking at what happened and what to do differently next time? Saying daily stock trading affirmations can help you develop a growth mindset regarding your trading. This mindset is essential to your success, and affirmations are a great way to cultivate one if you don’t think this way naturally.


Ex: My setbacks always give me a payoff that makes me better.

Stock Trading Affirmations To Stay Positive About Trading


Stock trading affirmations can help you remind yourself to celebrate each and every win–and to look for all kinds of trading wins, big and small. Be positive and congratulate all the good habits and actions you do each week in your trading. This will help you keep up a natural sense of momentum. 


Thinking positively about the future and what will be is a mindset that all successful traders need. When you expect good things to come, you tend to act in ways that bring those good things about. Expect to get great at stock trading and have it contribute to your family’s income each month (or even potentially one day replace your income).


Ex: I celebrate profits and I celebrate good habits in every single trade I do. There is always something good.

4 Myths About Long-Term Investing

By David Mitchell • November 24, 2025
The long-term investing industry hasn’t really changed that much in the last 50 years as far as their message goes: ”Don’t worry about bear market crashes, just stay the course…” Many people argue that the average person on the street would be way better off if they just bought the S&P 500 and held it rather than trying to buy and sell individual stocks themselves.
