Get Consistent By Shifting from Survival to Intentional
Welcome to your guide for harnessing the power of Trick Trades Core binaural meditations. This program targets the removal of subconscious trading impulses to build pro-level consistency.
By reprogramming your mind, you'll overcome issues like small wins turning into losses, losing streaks, missed trades, oversizing, and overtrading.
Follow this manual to get the best results—focused intentionality leads to true consistency.
Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Started
First, Identify Your Primary Challenge (Meditation Access Required):
Start with one specific trading habit that's holding you back (e.g., Small Wins or Overtrading).
Don't tackle multiple at once—your subconscious thrives on focused clarity.
Available Meditations:
- Set Up Your Core Routine:
Access the four sessions for your chosen package either in the member's section of Trick Trades or the Size UP app. Here's how to integrate them into your daily schedule:- Begin each morning with the Focus Session at a minimum of 20 - 30 minutes prior to the Premarket Plan of Attack (Members only).
- Use the Market Session during trading hours. For TrickTrades members, adjust the volume of the MP3 player at a low backgroud level. Loud enough to hear, but quiet enough to absord Pat's guidance.
- During the day when opportunity allows (gym, driving, chores, quiet time, etc) recharge with the Power Session.
- Play the Sleep Session overnight for deep rewiring.
- Commit to Repetition:
Repeat the sessions daily and nightly until you notice real changes in your trading behavior, like improved decision-making and fewer impulses. - Track Progress:
Monitor your trades for signs of improvement. Once the habit is resolved and consistency shines through, move to the next challenge. - Handle Setbacks:
If old habits resurface (e.g., during strategy shifts, personal challenges, financial stress, etc), immediately revisit the relevant sessions to reinforce gains.
The TT Core Routine is designed to integrate with your existing daily schedule. No major changes should be needed if you're already living a reasonably healthy lifestyle, and are 100% commited to becoming a professional day trader.
Session Breakdown: What Each Does and How to Use Them
Each package includes four tailored binaural sessions to work on your mind over 24 hours. Use headphones for the best binaural effect.
How each session fits into your day
The Focus Session: 15 Minutes
Kick off your day here. It sharpens your awareness on the targeted area of improvement, setting a strong mental foundation for reconditionint. Listen while preparing for the market.
The Market Session: 1.5 Hours
Dive into this during live trading. The alpha binaural waves promote objective observation, helping you spot and resist impulses in real-time for better execution.
The Power Session: 1 Hour
Use post-trading to solidify lessons. It combines the core message with subliminal affirmations, reshaping your self-talk and beliefs for lasting change.
The Sleep Session: 7 Hours
Play this at bedtime. Delta waves enable deep subconscious work while you rest, embedding affirmations so you wake refreshed and aligned.
Affirmation Sessions: Three 1 Hours Disks
Engage in Intentionality by staying in the present while driving, excercising, cleaning or performing other repetitive type tasks. Same affirmations from the Sleep Session, with audio levels and alpha waves set for concious repetition rather than the subconcious.
Why It Works, What to Expect, and What Not to Do
This section dives into the science and strategy behind Trick Trades Core, setting realistic expectations and highlighting pitfalls to avoid for optimal results.
Why It Works
Trick Trades Core leverages binaural meditations to reprogram your subconscious mind at its core, addressing the root causes of trading self-sabotage.
It alters your "source code"—the deep-seated beliefs and instincts that drive impulsive behaviors—replacing primitive survival responses with perspectives aligned with professional trading truths.
By harmonizing your inner beliefs with reality, it fosters true self-control that goes beyond surface-level motivation or psychology.
The sessions use specific brainwave states, like Alpha waves for focused, objective decision-making during trading and Delta waves for deep subconscious rewiring during sleep, combined with subliminal affirmations to reshape self-talk and eliminate instinctual overrides.
IMPORTANT:
TT Core is not a passive listening experience. For the efficacy of your sessions to reach their maximum potential, an intentional, active visualization experience is critical.
As you listen to Pat's voice, during the main session or affirmations, receive the message, and visualize very specific changes in your life happening as it relates to your behavior, and to outcomes. Do the mental work necessary to harmonize your mind with your body.
Be mindful of where, when and how your mind drifts away, and be sure to pull yourself back into the present moment should your attention lose focus. This training alone, on it's own, and the discipline to gain, will improve the mind's ability to remain attentive and focused during your trading sessions.
You are working to become an Intentional person.
What to Expect
As you commit to the program, anticipate gradual but profound shifts in how you approach trading.
By focusing on one issue at a time and repeating sessions multiple times daily and nightly, you'll start feeling different when studying charts and executing trades—seeing opportunities more clearly, hearing your inner voice change, and gaining better control over impulses.
Over time, this leads to newfound consistency, with the ability to recognize and resist self-sabotaging behaviors effectively.
Results build with persistence; expect noticeable improvements as habits resolve, but if old patterns return (e.g., due to market stress), revisiting sessions will help maintain your edge.
What Not to Do
To avoid undermining your progress, steer clear of common mistakes.
- Do not attempt to tackle multiple trading issues simultaneously, as this can confuse your subconscious and reinforce the very impulsivity the program targets.
- Avoid skipping repetitions or moving to the next package before achieving consistent results in your current focus area—patience is essential for deep change.
- Don't ignore resurging behaviors; always return proactively to the relevant sessions to prevent regression.
- Finally, resist multitasking during sessions to ensure the binaural effects and NLP cues fully engage your mind.
Tips for Maximum Impact
- Consistency Over Intensity:
Daily use builds a "harmonious baseline" for growth. Aim for at least 21 days per habit to see profound shifts. - Combine with Trading Practice:
Pair meditations with your Trick Trades Academy strategies for synergy—technical skills + mental mastery = unstoppable results. - Environment Matters:
Listen in a relaxed state; avoid multitasking during sessions to let the binaurals fully engage your brainwaves. - Monitor and Adjust:
Journal your pre- and post-session feelings and trades. If progress stalls, keep going and remain focused on the new identity that you're striving for. Often time, we go through "consolidation periods" - just like stocks do - just prior to a significant leap in progress. No matter what, keep moving forward and do what ever it takes to stay honest with yourself, and make any necessary adjustments. - Long-Term Maintenance:
Treat this as a lifelong tool. Revisit sessions periodically to stay sharp, especially during market changes. - Getting More Out of the Sessions:
Use the Market Session, in addition to your trading, during study time, or as background audio when watching trade recaps, reviewing video lessons, reviewing your trades, during mentoring, and other times when learning is encouraged.
Use Power Sessions or Affirmations when driving (connect your phone to your car's bluetooth if you have the ability), while at the gym, cleaning or other repetitive tasks.
