There is so much ink and pixels spilled on how to succeed in trading. So I thought, I would zag instead of zig and outline how to fail as a trader. Without further ado, the 10 vital steps you must take in order to fail in trading:

1. Start out undercapitalized
2. Ignore risk management
3. Compare yourself to other traders, not yourself
4. Look for the right system
5. Don’t keep a journal
6. Be secretive
7. Be casual
8. Fill your charts with as many indicators as possible
9. Trade with your emotions
10. Be inconsistent
