Hey there! In this episode of the Market Mamas trader psychology podcast (and blog :), I wanted to talk about something a little different, but deeply important if you’re in the world of day trading: How the Law of Attraction fits into high-stakes trading!

Now before you roll your eyes, cringe, or click away, this isn’t about manifesting magic wins or pretending losses don’t exist. It’s about the power of your mental and emotional state, and how it influences the way you show up, make decisions, and ultimately, how consistent you become as a trader.

The Law of Attraction is often misunderstood. At its core, it’s not about “thinking things into existence.” It’s more about what you consistently believe, feel, and focus on, and how those internal states shape your behavior, your habits, and the opportunities you recognize and act on.

In trading terms:
You don’t attract profits by visualizing green candles — you attract consistency by becoming the kind of person who follows their edge and risk management with discipline and patience.

The market is neutral. It doesn’t care about our energy. But me? I am not neutral. And how I show up mentally makes all the difference.

Here’s where we get practical.
The Law of Attraction (LOA) helps traders because it impacts mindset — and mindset influences behavior. Let’s break this down.

  • Confidence and calm help you stay patient, not jump into trades out of FOMO.

  • An abundance mentality keeps you from forcing trades or chasing losses.

  • Emotional self-awareness helps you take losses with grace instead of spiraling.

  • And having clear intention — knowing who you’re becoming as a trader — filters out noise and distraction.

LOA isn’t about bending the market to your will. It’s about aligning your thoughts and emotions so you can trade your plan without emotional sabotage.

That said, let’s be real: LOA has its limits — and misusing it in trading can be dangerous.

  • If you start believing you can “will” a trade into profit, you’ll ignore risk.

  • If you rely on “vibes” instead of a solid system, you’re just gambling with a smile on your face.

  • And if you skip the learning process because you think success is about energy alone, you’ll get wrecked.

So here’s the rule:
Use Law of Attraction to support your process — not replace it!

Now let’s get into how to actually use LOA in a way that supports your trading mindset. Here are three tools I recommend:

1. Pre-Trade Visualization (1–2 minutes)

Before you open the charts, close your eyes.
Picture yourself calmly following your strategy.
Taking the trades that match your criteria.
Respecting your stop loss. Walking away with peace — win or lose.

2. Post-Trade Gratitude Journaling

After the session, write down what went well — even if you lost money.
Gratitude keeps your nervous system calm and your learning curve steady.

3. Identity-Based Affirmations

Not “I want to be a good trader” — but:
“I am a patient and focused trader.”
“I honor my rules.”
“Small losses are part of my edge, and I respect the long game.”

You’re programming your subconscious to match the identity you’re building. That’s where LOA becomes your powerful ally.

So here’s the takeaway:
The Law of Attraction isn’t about predicting the market and yours wins. It’s about mastering and supporting yourself.

You’re not trying to attract a lucky win — you’re attracting alignment with the trader you want to become.

That version of you?
They’re focused. Patient. Resilient. And consistent.

LOA helps you stay in that identity — especially when the market tries to shake you out of it.

Remember — mindset is your edge. Show up like a professional. Trade like the version of you that already wins. And let the results reveal themselves!
