The Four Cardinal Principles of Trading

  • Trade with the trend;
  • Cut losses;
  • Let profits run;
  • Risk control.


To most traders, these principles are nothing new. What was interesting to me was the variety in the different interpretations of each of those principles in their own trading system or method. As an example, some people relied on just price action, whereas others used indicators. This was all on top of the different timeframes or intended holding period.

Again, this just proves that, working around some basic concepts, there are thousands of ways you can trade and make money in the markets. The trick is to find the way that works for you, which has a positive expectancy, covers those four principles, and which you are fully comfortable with. This will then allow you to develop and use the correct mindset to follow your method.

3 Main Reasons For Lack of trading confidence

1)  Not putting in the work – When we try to borrow ideas from others, we never really deeply understand those ideas.  The process of independently generating an idea ensures that the idea makes sense to us.  That gives us staying power during temporary periods of adverse price action;
2)  Negative self-talk – When we focus on everything we could have done better and everything we did wrong, we create mini failure experiences for ourselves over time.  Our self-talk reflects our relationship with ourselves.  How can we feel confident in who we are and in what we do if we’re constantly tearing ourselves down?
3)  Not playing to our strengths –  Many traders attempt trading styles that don’t match their personality and cognitive strengths.  Over time that generates frustration and erodes confidence.  Trading frequently when we function best as big picture idea generators inevitably exposes us to noise and randomness.
Imagine each day and each week beginning with challenging, meaningful, and doable goals.  Over time, you build a library of success experiences and internalize the sense of being successful.  True confidence is earned, but it’s also learned.  It’s the expression of optimism, as applied to our selves.  Confidence, like its absence, is ultimately the conversation we choose to have with our selves.

TRADE WHAT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK SHOULD BE

TRADE WHAT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK SHOULD BE

Trade what is… for in doing so your trading is based on fact, substance and reality.  It provides clarity, confidence, manageability, and useful feedback for consistent success where appreciation for winning, and respect for losing, keeps you in the game.

Do not trade what you think should be….for in doing so your trading is based on egotism, a false sense of foresight, the desire for validation and approval, and the “win at all cost” mentality, which  leads to confusion, anxiety, anger, and despair…not to mention the inability to trade another day.
