If we want to work at developing into a successful trader, what specific mindset traits do we need to adopt? Is there any way that we can work at building the qualities that will help us to become a talented and profitable trader?
In this video we will talk about growth mindset vs. fixed mindset, grit, cognitive dissonance and more. Don't forget to take part in the grit scale test at the end of the video (taken from the book 'Grit' by Angela Duckworth).

It seems to me that the grit quiz is actually measuring 2 things that are fairly different: grit and focus. Grit is often
"sticking to it" during adversity in a physical sense, but focus is mental like concentration.
DELIBRATE PRACTICE and GRIT concept was amazing and last thing is you guys are selflessly working really hard on making your community on being a GREAT TRADERS......... LOVE AND SUPPORT FROM INDIA
40%. Sounds bout right. First let me start by thanking you for all the videos. I first came across them a couple month ago and i must say i've enjoyed every one. I'm roughly 13 months into my trading journey and struggling right now with sticking to my trading plan (revenge trading). On those bad days, I always go back and watch your motivation videos. They always help me look forward to the next day. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Frankly, I am new in trading and watching your videos continuously to learn something. I took 4 years to learn Price Action. My score 95%.
Videos are very informative and helpful for beginners in trading.
I liked this series, all of the 1, 2 and 3 parts. The examples and the researches are thought provoking. Integrating the mindset, science, biology along with the examples and researches make this series a great place to start and keep ourselves reminding what can be achieved and how we should approach our life goals (including trading) from deep inside our mind. I have scored 3.3 in grit. While doing the grit test, I found that I grit for a few things whereas I don't grit for many of the things I aim or start. It made me aware that I need to keep the things I can grit for and I should let go the things I can't grit for. Thanks a lot for your hard work and thoughtful presentation.
True Grit. The secret is embracing your "mistakes" and fixing them thereby growing. You live you learn.Excellent video again. Thank you sir.
Thanks Frans! Interested to hear what your score is?
Hahaha. 4.3 But I feel that 10 years ago i would have scored lower so I'm evolving. I do think one should expect different results from your 18 year old self than your 40 year old self. Do you agree?
Absolutely. In fact, that's part of Angela Duckworth's thesis about grit. As we get older, we start to realise which tasks are more important and understand the importance of patience, so we increase our grit level
My grit score was 2.6 - not much to write home about. However, I, too, had three teeth drilled without anesthetics, two of which was next thing to a root canal filling. And I'm still here watching this channel trying to get my head around trading. So take heart my fellow "weenies" there is hope for us all. Oh, and thank you Nicholas for yet an excellent video.
Thanks for commenting Ove. We'll be releasing a video next week about how to improve your 'grit'. Just look after those teeth!!
These videos are fantastic, thanks for creating them.
My grit score is 3.2. And it makes me feel ashamed actually. But the video has been greatly inspiring and I will change that score. Thanks a lot Nicolas, your videos and the Duomo method course is changing me in ways I never expected when I first tought about trading.
Thanks for your videos, I'll do the test tomorrow as it is very late - don't want to rush. Lastly, I also got interested in mind set, not for trading as to help my daughter, she has dyslexia and slow processing. But she is funny, has a deep understanding of people emotions, very creative and sport oriented. I have to play on her strength and develop her mindset, her grit as with her disadvantage the world can turn against her and she will have to push thru. Thanks for everything , will continue with your videos. I am amaized that in this world so selfcentered and especialy the world of finances there are people who want to share their experience, their thoughts.
interesting content. Like the part about the grid and looking more at the mistakes and failures instead of the wins. Beautiful man keep it up!
Ever since I was young, I have not had the grit to stick with anything. As a boy, trying to learn hobbies, I would try it once, maybe twice, then quit if I was not immediately successful (talk about your fixed mind set). So I was hesitant to give myself any credit in the test and alas scored 2.5. I might be the type of person that can't learn grit. Or in other words, if I can become gritty, then anyone can. As I am getting older and racking up failures and things I have quit trying, I really feel a need to change this aspect of my life. And I feel an intense gratitude that I have not quit my marriage even though I have wanted to many times. But double the intensity of gratitude I feel that my wife has not quit my marriage. She seems really gritty to me.
haha we read the same books. I think a great understanding of psychology and sociology is important in trading - and you've definitely succeeded! A Mind For Numbers is where I read about the growth mindset. In Outliers, I liked how Malcolm Gladwell talked about completely exploiting our natural tendencies/talents -- and that's what I like to tell people.
4.1, I’ve started and stopped learning to trade for around 2 years but I haven’t stopped for about 3 months now! I’ve been following duomo for about 1 month! Very helpful
Very nice. These series are very informative, educational and well put together with great effort as in Angela Duckworth's formula: (TALENT x EFFORT) & (SKILL X EFFORT).
Great video series. I really Loved it. Your Are AMAZING, putting points across, research, teaching and sharing knowledge !!! real gem !
4.0 70% for me and have been trading for about 2 years. Finally starting to see the light.
The biggest failures in in life are successful people. They allow themselves to fail and learn. I have been saying this for years, but did not have the perspective you brought in this video. Thank you!
Definitely true. From all the people I've met, I find that the ones who didn't reach their potential is usually down to them not being willing to fail - so they never really commit to something! Failure is an inevitable part of learning and improving.
- Nicholas
Scored a 75% and had my wife help to add a little objectivity and I tried to be conservative and err on the side of the lower number. Decent score. I really love your videos. Very interesting content. I plan to join your course very soon! Working through the free videos now. :)
The 'Grit test' is most revealing. Having gone through the coursework once, I now realize I need to go through it again with a stronger commitment.
that video series is GOLD
My grit score is 3.9. This was a fantastic video. Thank you for putting it together. Very few people talk about "Stick-to-it-ness" when it comes to trading. The closest I've seen is Dez from Grock Trade saying that once you find a way to be profitable in the market, just keep cranking that handle, no matter how tired my arm gets.
Thank you for all that you do!
Excelent content Nicolas. The information, structure and delivery was outstanding, I can see that trading its not the only skill you have mastered. Every thing was well research and the concepts were put in the right context. I will definitely be watching your next videos. Thanks for the hard work and for sharing this.
Thank you Luis! Glad you found the information helpful.
Grit score: 3.8.This is lovely because through this test, I can see exactly which traits I can adopt to maintain and improve my levels of Grit. Thank you.
2.9, looks like I got some work to do! The building talent series has been so encouraging and helpful in outlining the difference between a successful and non-successful trader. I plan to be the former ;)
I have a low grit score (2.8) mainly because of too many distraction. I'm prone to getting sidetracked. I want to do things all at once. And I got an idea where I picked this up. Mainly from playing too much RPG's. In games, you can get back to your checklist or quests even after a few days or even years without playing it. But, irl its hard and unrealistic.
And when I got into trading/investing, my priorities and behaviours changed. I know how to take things slowly and being patient is the key to reap decent profits. I'm glad that I stumbled upon this channel and it really helped me a lot on how I see myself in general. I hope you can reach many more struggling traders out there and help them not to give up on their journey to be financially free.
after being truthful and conscious while answering 10 questions I found out that my level of grit is 3.0 This result is not what I’ll accept easily! Going to watch all the videos of Duomo to find out how to improve myself. Many thanks Nicholas for such a great content!
My grit score is 34. Good video, learn something new today. Refresh my mindset and know the existence of growth mindset. Thanks for the videos. Love it
Its really great after years a got a person who have taken trading as a subject to learn. Basically a Skill, which can be created. So, your videos will be very helpful for me..
Thanks Nicholas apparently I am more gritty than 60% of people, however I did the test with a broad overview throughout my life and I think that if I based it on a more recent time in my life for example perhaps the last year then my grit score would be much higher 😁👍
85% i am satisfied with that for the moment despite knowing my tenacity is very strong. I am not trading yet this is very much the beginning of a new venture. I have read until I have gone cross eyed and watched so many videos about their way is the right way to trade, you soon get to sift through the BS get rich quick idiots.
I like this set of three video with its focus on mindset and psychology it fits with my mindset that when you turn up to work you work and look at how you could do better every day. I have no intention for trading to be my source of income it does not need to be, I would however prefer not to lose money. That said I am fascinated by the forces of the market and our distant but still tangible connection to the large financial institutions.
Back to part 4 of the ten part series, keep up the excellent work and thanking you
Grit score 1,8
Thanks for raising my awareness:)
Thankfully I have the Growth mindset
Good Job , Loved the video. Great work ..Keep doing such videos and also interview big traders and make videos on their achievement.
2.9 is my grid score. something I need work on. thanks for making this video!
4.3 (80%) This is my grit score. Thank you
I can,t expect much in my jobs career, so i ,ve start trading to fullfill for the lost passion. Thanks for educational motivation.
Thanks for the honest and the knowlwdge you shared with us I am going to start the trading business but before I start i wanted to understand the concept and the things you are talking about thanks again your information was helpful.
Loved this series. Helped me see trading from a new perspective. Made me look over my trades and analyze what works and what doesn't. All 3 parts were gold!
4.1.
Great series. Look forward to the playbooks.
Thanks Spencer! Not a bad score there too.

3.8 love the series and the channel great content👍🏾
4,1 - I was thinking in my whole life.
If i was doing the test think in trading alone (last 2 years) it was much much higher .
Really good content videos Nicholas, looking forward to the next ones!!
Grit is something that can develop more with age. I can definitely see that trading has consumed your attention completely!
I just started watching your videos but I appreciate tf out of your hard work and dedication!
This is so good. Fixed mindset.... GUILTY. I think your advice could be used in many aspects of life. Love this video and whole series. Thank you for sharing your experience. Really taking this on board.
Very informative and encouraging videos. You have made me realized what my problems are and encouraged me to believe that I can conquer these shortcomings. Love your channel. Thank you for all these great videos.
I enjoy watching your videos. I believe Trading is an intelligent game. You do not need to be a genius but you need to be an intelligent enough though plus a dedication, a passion and the love of looking at the market movement in front of you. Lastly, you must have a resilient pain threshold because the rides are extremely bumpy before you see the entrance of your destination...
This was sooo freaking good Nick!!
Really appreciate your effort.you cover all small details about trading.Keep it up.
Great Content thank you so much... Am luck I came across your channel, your vedios are so helpful, been struggling so much with the phycology part and am learning alot through vedios.. and am never giving up at all until I become a great trader.... My score was 41
I love your videos and really appreciate all of the time and effort that you are putting into helping others. My grit score was 30.
Loves those videos well done again! 4,8 and I see it in many areas in my life. Very happy to hear about upcoming videos focusing on any particular parts of trading in detail as it will definitely help out too. Thank you so much for being a such an inspiration in teaching.
Thanks for the kind words Katerina. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - I hadn't heard from you for a while!
4.1 (70%). This was a fantastic series! These types of videos are truly inspiring and extremely encouraging. Keep up the hard work it really helps and makes a difference! My trading has improved exponentially since I've started following you guys. Can't wait to become a full course member! I believe intelligence only influences the rate at which a person can learn something, however, anyone can become masterful at whatever they choose to do through grit, deliberate practice and simple effort and determination. Hope to see more of these videos in the future.
Thanks, Nicholas so much for this video series and all of the amazing content you have put out so far. Your 'Patience' and 'Small Steps' videos are game changes and i now have them in a folder on my desktop marked 'every day' to watch them as a reminder that this is a skill based career and to be mindful when every day is not perfect!
Seriously a brilliant series!! Thank you for all the work you put into it.
My grit = 3.9 .... I have worked months on end non stop hundreds of not thousands of hours to learn to trade and develop properly... And have made sacrifices.. seems like a good number to me

The Duomo Initiative - Learn to Trade okay thanks. il post some trades that went against me tonight

Glad they're helping Tristan. I hope the results keep improving!
Tristan Velz congrats!

Woow.. just great, nothing else I can say.
Thanks for this!
3.8 grit, a lot of work ahead💪
2.9 here so probably 18% or so. Fun test to see, looking forward to exercising some serious grit as I explore and grow as a trader.
Ok, so this is where a coach can point this out, fixed, or growth group. VERY interesting!
you are a great trading psychologist
Thank you for your videos! This is gold!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
- Nicholas
My gritty score is 4.4.. As far as the mindset in trading I've displayed both. My biggest mistake EVER has been that after a period of steady gains I seem to gradually slip into the 1 mindset where I'm way too "certain" about the setups I take to the point that start getting pissed at any sign of adversity. The psychology of it seems to be "I'm too good to lose" and get fixed on having to prove it by waiting for the market to turn in my direction. I hate to see the great winning record I've managed to achieve tarnished by this one trade kind of mentality... It's funny because even when it has happened I know I'm doing it and yet I've always waited too long to cut losses when they were still small. One of the contributing factors to this flaw in my trading has been that I have INDEED seen the market turn around so many times in the past !! ;-)
But don't despair... I think I'm finally cured... I wrote a sign in HUGE LETTERS that now hangs on my wall... it's very matter of fact and it reads : "LOSSES WILL GET MUCH BIGGER THAN THEY APPEAR IN THE MIRROR OF YOUR GALACTIC EGO"
LOL!
Thanks a ton Music & FX Master. Those lines will help me as well.
I found the grit part to be the most interesting, I have been trading for almost 2 years now and I have experienced major upswings and downfalls but here I am, still surviving :) I do believe at the end of my 2 years of "initial" training period, I can become a long-term consistent world class trader because i do believe i have a lot of grit in trading and never giving up :D
I loved the whole series. It was very informative and well structured. I really liked the concept of the 'grit' and I am certain that only knowing about it would be very helpful for one to develop zer grit. Btw, my grit score is 4.0 and I will try my best putting Deliberate Efforts to develop it further.
Thank you for this amazing series. Keep up the good work.
4.0 is already a good base to work from! Thanks for the positive feedback.
This was a fucking cool series of videos on trading. Time well spent. Thanks a million...
I was a bit paranoid to take the test, and it turns out I am actually between 90% and 95%. So much Grit mate. Score is 4.4. Know ThySelf is the Key to Success.
Great score! Time to put that grit to good use.
simply magnanimous professor
Thank you 😀
70%, you're a world class motivator!
3.5, I was completely honest. I think I have used my chances before by being resilient. In my case is not about grit.
Thanks really learnt a lot from the series.Great videos.Now understand the difference between deliberate practice and just ordinary screen time.thanks a lot. MY GRIT SCORE WAS 4.8.
This is SO important! Thank you for the reminder!
Outstanding video mate. Thanks very much!
Started watching your videos. Thank you for some very good content. My score came out 4.9.
It's really amazing content, I never seen something like this. Thanks
Everything was interesting and value to me ...thanks
Great stuff thanks
Incredible information. Thank you so much.
My score is 3.9 which is 60%. Epic video series i wish someone told me this long tome ago!
Thank you!
This series was an amazing. Grit score 3.6
Fantastic video Nick great work keep it up left a thumbs up for you.
The Duomo Initiative - Learn to Trade Oh not you again😧
Your videos have truly been amazing! I have referred several people to your channel. Its such a breath of fresh air. This series was worth the research and the effort. Do you have an IG I can follow?
Thank you Aleesha! We really appreciate you introducing us to other people you know. All our social links are in the description box.
3.1 grit need to improve a lot on the longer term aspects of my trading amazing video series i have lots of work to do
i appreciate your videos
I got 70%. Been trading for 4 months now. I have recently been making a lot more losses so I decided to go back to to the practice account and refine my skills before going back to to the live account.
Glad to have found this video…
Thanks Einnor!
~Nicholas
love the video! i really enjoyed it and i got 4.2 :) ill have to keep learning and working hard
4.2 is not bad! Time to put it to use.
this video was interesting and informative about one self, that is true, my grit result is 2.8.
3.6 ~ 45% So not very gritty it seems. Although looking at the questions I'd assume peoples grit scores would throw a range depending on if they were answering specifically on a single aspect on their lives they are passionate about or whether they answer based on all aspects of their lives.
Quick question, what do you do if you see sheer manipulative moves in the market that might as well be intentionally making you lose out? I just completed making my system and the kind of loses that I have are such kind of them.
I got 60-70 percent, as my score was 4. Its a very good score, but im going to make myself get more grittier, which will obviously take time. its hard but no impossible :)
Great content! My grit score is 3.9
