 Trading has gr8 uncertainty associated w/it. It’s also a place that gives little to no security . Also, trading is confrontational ... u have to stare at ur mistakes .

It is natural to doubt your exit strategy. What is most important is to be asking the right questions. What is most important is to be thinking about the right stuff. And you are. You need experience exiting stocks that trade in your favor. After months of practice, you will improve. Just keep thinking about your exit strategy. 

If you cannot stay in the game, then you cannot take advantage of the good runs.

(Before you trade live, we review your work. We can tell how well you have listened by doing this.) If your demo trading shows large losses, then this is a signal that you are not listening. If your work shows that you are doubling down, then you are not listening. If you are trading too many stocks, then again, you are not listening. If you are trading the wrong stocks, then you are not preparing properly. Your work does not lie, and it best reflects your training effort.

you almost certainly will struggle when you first begin. This is good because the best educators counsel that you learn through struggle. Your goal is to improve every day, and slowly. If you sprint out of the gate too quickly, you might not be around for the finish, the best markets.

We do not trade with size when we first begin because our win rate will be poor. We focus on the process when a new trader starts because they are developing their playbook. Each trader must learn which trades offer the best win rate FOR THEM in THEIR style.

 Trading teaches you a great deal about yourself.

There is no shame in failing as a trader. The real shame is never trying if trading is your passion. If you are passionate about trading and you never give it a run, then you will live your life wondering what could have been. Having the nerve to take a chance and trade will serve you well later in life. Perhaps the next chance you take will work out. What you will learn about yourself is invaluable. What you soak up about the markets lasts forever. To try and fail because you were not good enough is honorable. It would be refreshing if this was the reason why all new traders failed. Unfortunately, as we have learned, that is rarely the case.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

Self-Discipline

One must gain mastery over self the person who is not master of himself can never be master of others. Lack of self-mastery is, of itself, the most destructive form of indefiniteness. By mastering the three appetites responsible for most of one's lack of self discipline. The three appetites are (1) The desire for food, (2) The desire for expression of sex, (3) The desire to express loosely organized opinions. When a man becomes master of these three appetites, he has developed enough self-discipline to conquer easily those of lesser importance. Self mastery contempates sufficient control over the appetites to enable one to feed them what they need and withhold food not needed. Take the desire for physical food, for example. The majority of people are so weak in self discipline they fill their stocmachs with combinations of rich food which please the taste but overwork the organs of digestion and elimination. They pour into their stomachs both quantity and combinations of food which...

Blessing In Disguise

I used to hate my enemies. But that was before I learned how well they were serving me by keeping me everlastingly on the alert lest some weak spot in my character provide an opening through which they might damage me. In view of what I have learned of the value of enemies, if I had none I would feel it my duty to create a few. They would discover my defects and point them out to me, whereas my friends, if they saw my weaknesses at all, would say nothing about them. ACCEPT FAILURE AS A NORMAL PART OF LIVING. VIEW IT AS PART OF THE PROCESS OF EXPLORING YOUR WORLD; MAKE A NOTE OF ITS LESSONS AND MOVE ON.  -Tom Hobson  There can be no failure for the person who "still fights on:' No one has ever failed until they accept temporary defeat as failure. I am convinced that failure is Nature's plan through which she hurdle jumps those of destiny and prepares them to do their work. Failure is Nature's great crucible in which she burns the dross from the human hear...
