Getting to the Truths of Stock Trading
There are thousands of fallacies about the stock trading discipline that arouse fear in a new trader's mind and prevent others from even trying their hand at it in the first place. As a proficient trader for over 15 years, I like to be more positive than that and concentrate on the predominant truths that you will find about stock trading. Here are just a few.
1. You will be rewarded from stock trading by keeping your trades low risk on a regular basis. Yes, this approach will cause you to miss out on one or two bonanza jackpot trades that the media portrays to be every day opportunities. But you will find that, over time, waiting and hoping for those godsend trades usually results in an insane loss that deteriorates the portfolio you worked so hard to build. Its more advantageous in the long run to keep your trades low risk and progressively profitable over time if you are earnest about making money at stock trading.
2. Trading does not have to take all day to be a lucrative profession. It does not have to be a nine to five job. However, please don't get the wrong impression. I'm not implying that stock trading is another make money while you sleep angle. It takes work and commitment to master the procedures needed to accomplish success at stock trading. But, by using GAP trading capably, I trade for two to four hours per day, plus one more hour of prep time. And, I earn a great living. With the right process, this success story can be yours as well.
3. Building on the knowledge and the experiences of other profitable traders can greatly accelerate your learning cycle. Don't start from the drawing board because it will cost you a lot of money and ten or more years to make all the mistakes others have already made. It is just resourceful business sense to build on the knowledge of others. Didn't your parents tell you "don't reinvent the wheel", but don't we just turn around and do just that? Instead, read works by successful traders, take courses, find advisors and coaches, and use the insights of others to make your journey more enjoyable and low risk.
Stock trading is often portrayed as mysterious and hard for "regular guys" to understand. Take it from a "regular guy", that perception is not right. With the right systems in place and a working knowledge of the basic truths of stock trading, anyone can be successful. - 23167
