DAY TRADING LESSONS

daytradinglessons-update

  • Trading is a continuous learning process

  • Don’t trade without a plan. Be as prepared as possible. Don’t try to be right
  • Emotion is a much bigger influence in stock prices than any other factor
  • The market reacts more to sentiment than facts. Herd mentality rules
  • Sell into strength and buy into weakness
  • Market always rewards minority, not the crowd. The trick to figure out if the mass perception is wrong and WHEN it will be proved to be wrong.
  • Technical setups and money management are more important than fundamental catalysts when trading
  • Always ask: What beliefs are you acting upon? What is the basis for those beliefs? Why do you have those beliefs now? Would those beliefs be different if your recent gain/loss record had been reversed? Can you clearly enumerate what could happen that would cause you to change your mind?”
  • Extreme emotions cause extreme pain. I’ve learned how not to get overly bullish or bearish
  • Be mindful of higher trading volume on down days prior to a future catalyst as bad news can and often does leaks out
  • Take responsibility for your own trading
  • Cut your losses, let your winners run, and this is more easily said than done
  • If you can’t focus, you can’t trade. Be in the zone or stay sidelined
  • Buy below value and well below value if possible
  • Being flexible can be fruitful
  • Let the market come to me and don’t force trades
  • It is never “different” this time
  • Just more……….very soon ,Till then just read these and learn something new.
