ADHD Day Trader Hypnosis - Master Your Criteria, Control Impulses, and Boost Profitability · The Hypnotist

  Welcome to The Hypnotist, the show that gives you inside
• 0:09
  access to cutting edge hypnosis with real clients facing
• 0:12
  genuine. Issues.
• 0:13
  Brought to you by The Hypnotherapist, demanded by
• 0:16
  celebrities, CEOs and even royalty, Adam Cox.
• 0:20
  These recordings took place live from Adam's clinic in London's
• 0:24
  world famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
• 0:31
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:39
  Hi, it's Adam here. And you're about to listen to a
• 0:41
  hypnosis session specifically designed for investors and day
• 0:47
  traders that might have impulses and urges.
• 0:52
  Now, the actual client that I was working with had been
• 0:55
  diagnosed with ADHD. They weren't taking any
• 0:58
  medication for that ADHD and they were doing the kind of day
• 1:03
  trading which is very, very volatile, which is the very low
• 1:08
  timeframe, the one minute, 5 minute timeframes.
• 1:12
  Now this has. Big, big.
• 1:14
  Swings, which is how traders make their money by predicting.
• 1:19
  Volatility. Based on technical analysis and
• 1:22
  patterns and trends. But it's also very risky.
• 1:26
  Now where the risk comes in is if you follow a disciplined
• 1:30
  plan, you can always make money guaranteed.
• 1:33
  But what can happen is that if the emotions take over, you can
• 1:37
  then erode your gains and this particular client felt that they
• 1:42
  had put too much time in to be able to walk away.
• 1:46
  This is called. A a sunk cost fallacy.
• 1:51
  If. There is an evaluation that
• 1:53
  because you've invested so much, now you have to continue to
• 1:58
  invest more. The other phrase for this would.
• 2:00
  Be chasing losses. Now, at some level that's not
• 2:05
  always the case. It could be that what people are
• 2:08
  doing is accumulating more experience, more wisdom for the
• 2:10
  breakthrough. But what we need is a stop loss.
• 2:14
  So there's two elements here. 1 is that there's a hypnosis
• 2:18
  session all about them having the resources to be disciplined
• 2:22
  and focused. But at the same time there is
• 2:25
  this idea that if they can't get to a certain level of discipline
• 2:31
  and consistency within a time frame, then they've given it a
• 2:35
  good go, but now they need to pivot to do something else.
• 2:40
  And it links to this misattributed Einstein quote
• 2:43
  that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and
• 2:48
  expecting a different result. There are stop losses that are
• 2:53
  intuitive for traders. Most traders will have profit
• 2:56
  taking levels and stop losses to avoid losing, you know,
• 3:01
  exponential amounts. But at the same time, it's good
• 3:04
  to have a stop loss in life. That might be in personal
• 3:09
  things. It might be that you decide that
• 3:11
  you're going to pursue a career or self-employment for a certain
• 3:15
  period of time. That might be a certain number
• 3:16
  of years, but if it doesn't meet certain criteria by then, then
• 3:21
  you re evaluate if it's still the right thing to do.
• 3:24
  So there's a bit going on here. The person or the type of people
• 3:28
  that would benefit most will be day traders that have ADHD, but
• 3:31
  I would. Say.
• 3:32
  Everyone gets distracted, everyone has impulses, everyone
• 3:37
  is attached to doing things even if it no longer makes sense to
• 3:41
  do them. So I want you to think about
• 3:43
  that stuff before this hypnosis session starts.
• 3:46
  You really maximize the value for you in terms of getting the
• 3:49
  best value for it. Find a quiet, comfortable place,
• 3:53
  ideally the kind of environment that you're not going to be
• 3:55
  distracted or disturbed. Relax and enjoy the session.
• 4:18
  Take a deep breath in, and as you breathe in, breathe in a
• 4:26
  feeling of calm relaxation, and as you exhale, just allow your
• 4:34
  eyelids to close as you start to settle into that rhythmic
• 4:42
  breathing. When you breathe in, breathe in
• 4:48
  for longer, and as you exhale, just allow that outward breath
• 4:57
  to continue for longer than it normally is.
• 5:03
  That's in breathing, in relaxation,
• 5:15
  exhaling tension. And I want you to think of a
• 5:20
  place in nature, the kind of place where you felt very, very
• 5:28
  relaxed, maybe by a beach, maybe by a forest, maybe by a lake.
• 5:37
  And I want you to imagine being out there.
• 5:45
  Imagine the sensation of sunlight on your skin, a breeze,
• 5:52
  perhaps even the smells of nearby things.
• 6:01
  And I want you to imagine, I want you to imagine that
• 6:07
  somewhere nearby in that nature is a table and a screen.
• 6:16
  And I want you to imagine on that screen is a chart showing
• 6:24
  green and red candles of the NASDAQ, the whole index.
• 6:32
  I want you to imagine staring into that screen and just allow
• 6:39
  that part of you that can hyper focus to imagine seeing it
• 6:45
  changing in real time every few seconds.
• 6:52
  Every minute it shows a new candle and it's telling you
• 6:57
  information. And I want you to imagine that
• 7:01
  you allow that part of you to be focused on the screen as I start
• 7:09
  communicating to a different part.
• 7:14
  A part that doesn't want the future to be an echo of the
• 7:20
  past. A version of you that wants to
• 7:26
  have that stimulation without the frustration, to have that
• 7:34
  excitement without the crashes. And I want you to imagine seeing
• 7:46
  a cloud up in the sky. Just keep that other part
• 7:49
  staring into the screen. It's the part that wants change
• 7:54
  now. And just imagine staring up at
• 7:57
  that cloud, and the cloud starts making numbers, and the first
• 8:03
  number is 999. And then just imagine that cloud
• 8:10
  shifts to make 998. Just imagine there is a
• 8:18
  analytical part confused by this.
• 8:23
  The hyper focus part is staring at the screen and the analytical
• 8:28
  is wondering how and why clouds are counting down in the sky
• 8:34
  like a giant countdown timer. Allow that analytical part to
• 8:43
  focus on the clouds and then and separate from that, that part
• 8:50
  still wants change. That part that really wants to
• 8:58
  make decisions inside structure to follow a plan to be free of
• 9:05
  chasing impulses launching in because of FOMO.
• 9:14
  There are now three different versions of you out there in
• 9:17
  nature. The hyper focus part staring
• 9:22
  into the screen, locked in where time disappears.
• 9:31
  An analytical part counting down a cloud in the sky.
• 9:36
  Maybe it's 994 now, or maybe less.
• 9:40
  Continuing to watch it countdown and then the part that wants
• 9:45
  change and just imagine there's a comfy chair there in nature,
• 9:51
  that part that wants change. Imagine sitting on that chair or
• 9:57
  lying on the chair if it's a recliner, something comfortable.
• 10:02
  And I want you to imagine that that part doesn't want anything
• 10:07
  light or superficial. That part wants to go deep.
• 10:17
  So imagine sinking into that chair, eyelids getting heavier,
• 10:21
  jaw getting loose, and just focus on the very top of your
• 10:27
  head, almost like a high-powered torch is shining from your head
• 10:35
  into your brain. And just imagine your eyes
• 10:39
  focusing on where the light would be if it was inside your
• 10:43
  head. That's it.
• 10:48
  Feel your shoulders, loosen your jaw, unlock your forehead,
• 10:53
  smooth your breathing slow and steady.
• 10:58
  That's it. Focus on the light inside your
• 11:00
  head. And as you inhale, tension rises
• 11:05
  to the surface. And as you exhale, that slides
• 11:11
  down your body and through your feet and just let your legs grow
• 11:17
  heavier, your arms warmer, your thoughts slower, as if your
• 11:25
  whole body drifts into that deep absorbing state where focus
• 11:31
  becomes effortless and that sense of stillness and calm
• 11:37
  becomes easy as you focus on that light there inside your
• 11:46
  brain. Imagine relaxing your eyelids
• 11:52
  even more and changing that focus so the light is now in
• 11:56
  your chest. A soothing, relaxing light,
• 12:01
  calming you down. As your body relaxes, your
• 12:05
  imagination awakens and I wonder if you could imagine walking
• 12:11
  down a long descending corridor that is filled with glowing
• 12:18
  lights. And every step down the corridor
• 12:23
  your mind grows quieter, your body melts deeper.
• 12:30
  And the scanner mind just keeps noticing things.
• 12:36
  Maybe it's a message on the wall, a door unlocked or a
• 12:41
  picture. Just keeping it gently occupied
• 12:44
  with the deeper mind starts to open fully.
• 12:48
  Now I'm going to countdown from 12:50 and you will imagine
• 12:57
  continuing to walk down the corridor 10, deeper and deeper.
• 13:06
  987 letting go, continuing to walk down the corridor 654
• 13:13
  sinking into the chair 3, two and one.
• 13:22
  Imagine a doorway at the end of that corridor, A doorway that
• 13:29
  leads into your own control room, A control room that can
• 13:34
  regulate things that are normally unregulated, things
• 13:39
  like impulsivity and focus, a sense of control.
• 13:45
  But you're standing in front of the door at the end of a
• 13:47
  corridor that leads to that control room.
• 13:51
  And as I countdown from 5 to 1, you will imagine opening the
• 13:56
  door, walking through the door, and then closing the door behind
• 14:03
  you. Five hand on the hand or 4
• 14:12
  turning the hand or three opening the door, 2 walking
• 14:17
  through the door and one closing the door behind you.
• 14:23
  And you're now in a control room, a calm, strategic, high
• 14:29
  performance space inside your mind, the surface level, but
• 14:37
  deep, deep down. And imagine this room filled
• 14:43
  with screens showing charts, criteria, patterns.
• 14:50
  But I want you to notice something important.
• 14:54
  Every chart in this room moves slowly, deliberately and
• 15:01
  predictably. There's no chaos here, no rush,
• 15:09
  no spikes of dopamine or adrenaline.
• 15:13
  This is a place where you can see the whole picture, not just
• 15:20
  flashing temptations. And in the centre is a large
• 15:26
  switchboard, and three switches stand out.
• 15:33
  One, impulsivity is now off, and if it isn't, switch it to off.
• 15:44
  Two, FOMO neutralized. That fear of missing out has
• 15:49
  made you made decisions that break your own criteria.
• 15:53
  So just imagine neutralizing FOMO so it loses its grip on
• 15:59
  your decisions. And most importantly of all, see
• 16:05
  a switch called criteria and switch that on fully with
• 16:16
  impulsivity off. The noise goes quiet, twitchy
• 16:22
  urgency dissolves, and that act now Reflux shuts down, and when
• 16:33
  FOMO is neutralized, it's because you've activated
• 16:37
  patience. You don't need to dive in,
• 16:43
  because the nature of markets is that there will always be
• 16:48
  another entry, a Mistrade, a setup you couldn't quite.
• 16:58
  Time loses all emotional charge and power over you.
• 17:05
  You feel No Fear of missing anything, in the same way that
• 17:11
  you wouldn't be upset about missing a train if you knew for
• 17:16
  certain there would be another train coming along soon.
• 17:24
  Isn't it better to wait for the right train than to jump on to
• 17:31
  just any train and find that it's taking you in the wrong
• 17:34
  direction? But most importantly of all,
• 17:39
  criteria is on you. Know your criteria, what it
• 17:47
  takes to make an optimal entry. Clarity, precision, quality over
• 17:56
  quantity. Isn't it better to make 3 trades
• 18:02
  a day that are great than 10 or 15 average trades?
• 18:10
  Discernment is more important than just making a decision,
• 18:18
  because anyone can make a decision.
• 18:22
  But making a bad decision is costly.
• 18:26
  And that's why due diligence, discernment, and discipline
• 18:34
  means that when you do make a decision, it's more likely to be
• 18:40
  a great decision to just allow that configuration to lock in.
• 18:50
  Because the mind is now open to powerful, helpful, useful
• 18:55
  suggestions. I want you to fully, fully
• 19:01
  embrace a new identity, not an impulsive, chaotic, speculative
• 19:10
  random trader. You are a disciplined trader.
• 19:15
  You trade your plan, you follow your criteria, and your system
• 19:21
  decides your decisions, not your impulses.
• 19:28
  And every part of you that once chased dopamine through
• 19:31
  impulsive trades now realise that the highest dopamine is
• 19:38
  earned from mastery, not chaos. And mastery comes from criteria,
• 19:46
  patience, structure and control. And I want you to think of an
• 19:57
  old belief, something like money comes easily or money's easy to
• 20:05
  get. And for that to be true, you had
• 20:09
  to think of moments in your life where you made a trade, it went
• 20:17
  well, and suddenly there was a high return on that initial
• 20:22
  investment. But I want you to think that you
• 20:27
  can't cherry pick. I want you to get a sense that
• 20:34
  when it comes to trading, you can't say you made a profit on
• 20:39
  one trade if you made a loss on the other.
• 20:43
  And I want you to feel that all of the hours of study, learning,
• 20:49
  and experience that means that money is a reflection of
• 21:03
  everything that's come before all the hours of study you
• 21:10
  didn't get paid for, all of the hours of trading that didn't
• 21:15
  turn a profit. That is evidence to say that
• 21:21
  money can come easily, but won't necessarily because money
• 21:29
  rewards value being created for the world or the ability to make
• 21:36
  discerning choices and take measured risks.
• 21:47
  Because money only feels easy when discipline is high, when
• 21:51
  criteria are met, when emotion is off and logic is off.
• 21:59
  The mind now rejects randomness. Feel it rejecting gambling
• 22:05
  energy. Feel it rejecting forced
• 22:09
  intuition that contradicts your rules.
• 22:15
  I want you to imagine that your intuition is only one ingredient
• 22:19
  of decision making, and when your intuition also matches your
• 22:24
  criteria, that's an ideal entry. But if either the intuition or
• 22:35
  the data is not quite right, you would rather not catch that
• 22:42
  train that is taking you to a place that you don't want to go
• 22:46
  to. So imagine feeling grounded and
• 22:49
  calm, aligned with your criteria, not in conflict with
• 22:56
  them. And here, in this control room,
• 23:02
  feel that your unconscious mind is becoming ruthlessly
• 23:07
  strategic. A losing trade is just
• 23:12
  information, not identity, not hope, not rescue missions, and
• 23:17
  not reloads. Any compulsion to make it back
• 23:22
  dissolves because you exit when the criteria says exit with
• 23:33
  neutrality, with discipline, with clarity, with an air of
• 23:40
  professionalism. I want you to think of a pact,
• 23:50
  an agreement you are going to make with yourself.
• 23:55
  You've tried this trading and the definition of insanity is
• 24:00
  doing the same things and expecting different results.
• 24:05
  So you are introducing a stop loss in your life beyond a
• 24:13
  certain date, and you know that date trading continues only if
• 24:21
  you're making more than $10,000 a month consistently and you're
• 24:25
  actually following your criteria.
• 24:28
  Trades are based on criteria, not emotions and impulses.
• 24:36
  And this isn't punishment or a restriction, It's a performance
• 24:42
  threshold, a professional standard.
• 24:49
  If the criteria is met and the results achieved, then it makes
• 24:56
  sense to continue day trading with confidence and calm.
• 25:02
  But if either 1 is not met by the end of that month, your
• 25:08
  unconscious accepts the pivot. You will stop day trading.
• 25:15
  You will protect and conserve your capital, and you will move
• 25:19
  to a different form of investing or trading that doesn't operate
• 25:25
  on the same time frame. This isn't a failure, it's just
• 25:32
  strategy to avoid that sunk cost fallacy.
• 25:43
  Consider it, if needed, a mature pivot, a profitable path with
• 25:50
  less noise and more structure. Your unconscious calibrates 3
• 26:02
  trades, not 6, not 9 or 10, not 15 or 23 trades, quality trades,
• 26:14
  criteria aligned trades, and nothing else.
• 26:22
  And every impulse becomes a cue to just slow down.
• 26:28
  Every urge becomes a cue to breathe.
• 26:30
  And that intuition? That doesn't make the decision.
• 26:38
  It just helps to consider it a cue to check the criteria.
• 26:45
  And when intuition matches criteria, you make the trade.
• 26:51
  Nothing gets executed unless it meets the rules cleanly.
• 26:59
  And as you start to think of that ADHD, think of it no longer
• 27:05
  as a saboteur. Think of it as your high
• 27:09
  performance engine, where your brain enjoys structure, your
• 27:15
  brain enjoys rules, and your brain enjoys focus when the
• 27:21
  environment is right. And what if day trading becomes
• 27:27
  a structured challenge where the game is not chasing the move,
• 27:33
  the game is sticking to the criteria.
• 27:35
  And what if that's where the real dopamine comes from now,
• 27:43
  where the reward is discipline, not randomness?
• 27:54
  And I want you to consider that there are multiple ways to feed
• 27:59
  your impulsivity, and trading doesn't not need to be that.
• 28:09
  Think of a future where you're teaching trading, explaining
• 28:13
  setups, helping others to navigate the charts.
• 28:30
  And what if that gave you way more satisfaction and dopamine
• 28:40
  than making a trade ever did? What if that becomes a future
• 28:47
  outlet, a pressure valve to release a safe container for all
• 28:56
  of that creativity and spontaneity to find a home?
• 29:04
  You don't need chaos for excitement.
• 29:08
  What if you can get it from teaching, helping, mentoring, or
• 29:11
  just sharing what you've learned with the world?
• 29:13
  And what if that takes the pressure off trading to provide
• 29:18
  everything? I don't want you to imagine
• 29:24
  floating through time to your stop loss the final day of a
• 29:30
  month and just imagine two parts.
• 29:37
  If the version of you is having those 10,000 months and is
• 29:43
  disciplined, then you see yourself continuing on that path
• 29:48
  with even more discipline and making even more per month.
• 29:55
  But if you don't, I want you to imagine seeing you strategically
• 30:01
  pivoting to something else more profitable that aligns more with
• 30:07
  your nature. Either future is desirable, but
• 30:16
  what decides it is your criteria and your performance.
• 30:23
  Not willpower, Not shame, not criticism, or anything else.
• 30:32
  The criteria determines your future in the same way that your
• 30:38
  criteria determines a trade. And if your unconscious mind
• 30:44
  agrees, let me know by nodding your head.
• 30:52
  See that future version of you doing well in any timeline?
• 30:59
  Maybe swing trading, maybe day trading.
• 31:01
  But you are still calm, confident, disciplined.
• 31:06
  Impulses come, So what an impulse knows means nothing if
• 31:14
  you don't reward it with behaviour.
• 31:18
  An impulse is just a feeling, and that feeling will pass.
• 31:25
  But just imagine now leaving that control room, finding
• 31:29
  yourself there in the corridor, walking all the way down to the
• 31:33
  other end of the corridor. And then imagine finding
• 31:40
  yourself on a comfortable chair out in nature.
• 31:45
  And as you leave the chair, you see two different versions of
• 31:49
  you, the analytical part staring into clouds.
• 31:54
  Maybe you can even see what number clouds are saying now.
• 31:58
  And as you walk into that part, feel that the analytical,
• 32:03
  logical part is now aligned with your stop loss, your criteria,
• 32:08
  your strategy. And then that hyper focus part
• 32:13
  still staring into a screen. Step into that.
• 32:16
  All parts merged into one aligned with your higher self.
• 32:23
  A part that already knows the best way forward for you.
• 32:30
  As you leave the screen feel you have so many choices, so many
• 32:36
  skills, so much knowledge. There is only one thing you're
• 32:40
  not willing to do and that is day trade without discipline.
• 32:49
  If you day trade intuitively, recklessly, with impulses and
• 32:53
  FOMO, then it means day trading is not for you.
• 32:59
  But if you can, with structure, discipline, and discernment, you
• 33:05
  have permission to continue forever, so long as the criteria
• 33:12
  is there. And just imagine now, floating
• 33:16
  all the way back, all the way back to the present, taking a
• 33:22
  deep breath in through your nose and out through your nose.
• 33:27
  Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes.
• 33:29
  Connect and calibrate into the here and the now as I now count
• 33:34
  from 1:00 to 10 to awaken you Starting to count 123 waking up
• 33:43
  456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 33:47
  Open your eyes 910. Wide awake, wide awake, wide
• 33:53
