Trading is a skill.
Traders who apply a method to their trading inevitably have better results.
If you use the same criteria to each trade, then you at least have a reference point from which to work.
If you are losing, you can then change specific things in you're decision making process in order to find the right criteria.
By using a method in your trading, you are moving towards the scientific approach and just as scientist will carefully research and record each experiment so should the trader trying to perfect the method he is using.
The technical ideas are primary crafted around the personality of the stock markets but you can apply the same knowledge, tools, and concepts in trading any financial markets such as stock, future, and FX currency.
The theory behind what you'll be reading hinges upon stock price movement which is in daily and intraday bar charts.
Many approaches to trading are espoused of how to find, enter and manage your trades.
They are the same ones that have provided day traders with profits which mount into hundreds of thousands per years.
Although this trading style is sound and profitable, it also must incorporate the art and mental discipline of each person who applies it.
Is that interesting?
You have to learn to be a visual trader using the daily and intraday bar charts to time your trade entries and exits from experience with the aid of helpful tips and tools in the Internet.
Be a student of the market and learn how each individual stock moves, its personality, and how the main overall market indexes affect the stock's movement on a daily and intraday basis.
Let's start working......
Trading, like any endeavor or any skill, you have to learn it.
You learn through trial and error, through having experiences and evaluating and learning from those experiences; and of course, your learning is accelerated if we have the support and advice of someone who is further along the path of development.
The skills of trading have to do with execution, and implementation, the doings of trading. The problems you have experienced in your trading, problems that are popularly referred to as the psychology of trading, are the challenges of trading, it is these problems you surmount as you develop your trading skills.
The skills of execution are the equivalent of the basic shots and strokes that make up the games of golf or tennis. There is no point having a strategy in tennis if you can't execute the complement of strokes you need to be able to play.
Knowing that you need to hit the ball deep and move your opponent from one side of the court to the other is of no value if you cannot hit the basic shots.
There is no point having a trading strategy if you can't trade and no novice trader knows how to trade. The problems you all experience in trying to make money trading stem from the fact that you do not yet have the skills of a trader.
If all you needed was a system, you would all be wealthy; you have no need to become traders.
As a novice…….
It is helpful to trade a simple, logical system.
This may be contradicted against from system vendors. But in reality, it is the ability to implement a system or strategy that determines success in trading.
Is it possible to rely on a system 100%?
The answer is "No".
Want to try a hard way. Your choice.
As your trading skills evolve, your ability to read the market will evolve; but until then you will have no valuable opinion, so a simple, logical system will give you a reason to buy or sell.
Want to have a good start?
Just to start with the understanding that trading is a skill that is developed over time, through experience, puts a novice trader way ahead of the competition.
There are TWO core skills in trading.
They are:
a) The ability to anticipate the market.
(Read the market.)
b) Having the discipline to execute your plan.
To learn to read the market, you may get help by having trading simulators and only start to trade when you have demonstrated to yourself that you can anticipate the market.
Discipline, though, has to be developed and tested in the real world.
Discipline is really the crux of the matter and it is here that most traders fall down.
Their failure is mainly due to the fact that they are not really aware of its importance.
Just starting out as a trader with the intention of developing your discipline puts you way ahead of the average trader.
If you can trade with discipline (i.e. stick to your own rules and limits) you are 95% there!
Trading is like most business: it requires knowledge, commitment and perseverance.
It is never easy to make money, but people who have mastered a skill make it appear easy. The really successful pit traders have made trading look very easy; but they all had many years of experience behind them. But the most important is that they have their trading styles and strategies.
Being a method trader, you have researched a particular theory. You have to do the back test (apply the theory to historical charts) and comes up with indicators, tools or other methods of determining the entry and exit criteria.
Don’t waste yours hard earn money. Back test your method on paper until you can make money on paper consistently in the markets.
Think about it. If you can’t make money on the paper, in reality, how you can make money in the markets especially when you have more emotional problems on hands.
