In the introductory webinar of our series on 'Trading Culture', we overviewed the three phases and nine parts of of a process designed to help you as a trader:

• Define and design your own 'best fit' trading process, and
• Develop and refine your process into an invaluable support tool for your trading and growth as a unique individual.

The Process, as we called it, functions as a silent facilitator to help you align who you are with what you do and how you make decisions, solve problems, and manage change.  In our experience, the application of the Process is most effective in helping you quantify your trading culture. That development begins with the construction of a foundation based on your values and core beliefs, your purpose and mission, your goals and objectives, and your true present position.  This webinar addressed those topics as well as ideas to help you own the Process. 

Specifically, Phase I - Priciples, the General Truths about Ourselves, focuses on:

• Your Values, exploring several ideas and approaches to defining, clarifying, understanding, and living congruently with them.
• Your Goals, Vision, and Purpose, looking at your 'ideal' vision, your long-term and short-term goals, the different types of goals and the importance of balance, as well as how objectives can be used as checkpoints to measure your progress in achieving your goals.
• Your Present Position, as it relates to your actual strengths and weaknesses, your assets and liabilities, and your potential opportunities and obstacles.
