CONSISTENCY

 There are three basic reasons for such a high level of success:

1. They develop a skill set over time that allows them to get in and out of stocks efficiently

2. They develop pattern recognition skills that enable them to accurately assess their risk versus reward

3. They are in the RIGHT stocks

The RIGHT stocks are those that we have identified as Stocks In Play. These stocks will have greater order flow than normal. This does several things that gives you an advantage: (1) increased order flow increases liquidity, which allows you to risk less on each entry and exit from a position: (2) the greater order flow creates additional volatility, which leads to many favorable risk/reward scenarios during the day; and (3) the large number of orders will overwhelm the dopey algorithmic trading programs, which results in a stock moving more cleanly.

Earnings Stocks

Traders should choose no more than two or three of these stocks each day to focus on. You can make a lot more money trading one or two stocks well than trading many stocks poorly.

once earnings season began his focus would change to stocks with fresh news. This is where a skilled trader’s edge exists. The increased order flow in stocks with fresh news creates greater liquidity, intraday volatility, and great risk/reward setups that are EASILY recognizable.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PICKING THE RIGHT STOCKS

Give me the information that I need as a trader (technical levels, news, average daily volume, short interest, average daily range), and I will go forth and trade. At the end of the day, I am going to figure out these stocks. As uncomfortable as they are initially to trade (think jumping out of an airplane with just the faith that your parachute will open), I take the plunge. And if they are moving, I am going to make an awful lot of money.

The market does not reward stubbornness. The market is not interested in how you wish stocks would trade. You adapt to the market. You do what the market demands. And that is the way it will always be.

 All great leaders in every walk of life are highly sexed, but they follow the habit of controlling their sex desires, switching them into a driving force behind their occupation. The person who has self discipline understands the emotion of sex, respects it, and learns to control and transmute it into contructive activities. Q: Just what damage is there in over-indulgence of sex? A: The greatest damage is that it depletes the source of man's greatest driving force, and wastes, without adequate compensation, man's creative energy. Controlled sex supplies the magnetic force that attracts people to one another. It is the most important factor of a pleasing personality. It gives quality to the tone of voice and enables one to convey through the voice any feeling desired. It serves, as nothing else can serve, to give motive power to one's desires. It keeps the nervous system changed with the energy needed to carry on the work of maintaining the body. It sharpens the imagination...

SURVIVE THE LEARNING CURVE

 Those who can give trading more time when they start have a better chance to succeed. you must be patient. But your time will come. At the start of your trading, you should trade with small size and with one stock. You should not increase your tier size until you are positive 7/10 trading days. You should set a small max loss when you begin. You should be limited in your buying power. For example, when a new trader begins, he should not write more than 10k shares in a day, total. you are not going to be a great trader on Day One Gladwell explains, “Working hard is what really successful people do.” t deep practice, often with continuous feedback, is necessary to become great. Concentrated practice is key Daniel Coyle in The Talent Code: Greatness Isn’t Born. It’s Grown. If you want to be good at something, practice. Practice deliberately, and do so for many years. FOCUS ON IMPROVING EVERY DAY “I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of man to elevate his l...

CAN A FIRM ALWAYS SPOT THE NEXT GREAT TRADER?

 No. But a prop firm can tell who has a poor chance to become a CPT. To be good at anything will take everything you have. Not having developed the skills to work hard is a turn-off. Trading is a skill learned by doing, not just by reading a lot, theorizing, or the faux art of “paper trading.” THE PROS AND CONS OF RECRUITING EXPERIENCED TRADERS Loyalty is a good thing to a point, but it cannot trump logistics and reality. losing money should really bother you. If I am negative three days in a row, I spend a long evening on my couch with a bottle of red wine and comfort food. As traders, we can all recite the memorable line from Wall Street: “A man looks in the abyss, there is nothing staring back at him. At that moment he discovers his character. That keeps the man out of the abyss.”  Traders don’t talk about how they want to trade, what they want to read about trading, or how they wish they could talk about trading. Traders trade, read about trading, and talk about trading.
