Seven Mistakes Traders Make
MISTAKE ONE
Lack of
Knowledge and No Plan It amazes us that some people expect to trade the stock
market successfully without any effort. Yet if they want to take up golf, for
example, they will happily take some lessons or at least read a book before
heading out onto the course. The stock market is not the place for the ill
informed. But learning what you need is straightforward you just need someone to
show you the way. The opposite extreme of this is those traders who spend their
life looking for the Holy Grail of trading! Been there, done that! The truth is,
there is no Holy Grail. But the good news is that you don't need it. Our trading
system is highly successful, easy to learn and low risk.
MISTAKE TWO
Unrealistic Expectations Many novice traders expect to make a gazillion dollars
by next Thursday. Or they start to write out their resignation letter before
they have even placed their first trade! Now, don't get us wrong. The stock
market can be a great way to replace your current income and for creating wealth
but it does require time. Not a lot, but some. So don't tell your boss where to
put his job, just yet! Other beginners think that trading can be 100% accurate
all the time. Of course this is unrealistic. But the best thing is that with our
methods you only need to get 50-60% of your trades "right" to be successful and
highly profitable.
MISTAKE THREE
Listening
to Others When traders first start out they often feel like they know nothing
and that everyone else has the answers. So they listen to all the news reports
and so called "experts" and get totally confused. And they take "tips" from
their buddy, who got it from some cab driver we will show you how you can get to
know everything you need to know and so never have to listen to anyone else,
ever again!
MISTAKE FOUR
Getting
in the Way By this we mean letting your ego or your emotions get in the way of
doing what you know you need to do. When you first start to trade it is very
difficult to control your emotions. Fear and greed can be overwhelming. Lack of
discipline; lack of patience and over confidence are just some of the other
problems that we all face. It is critical you understand how to control this
side of trading. There is also one other key that almost no one seems to talk
about. But more on this another time!
MISTAKE FIVE
Poor
Money Management It never ceases to amaze us how many traders don't understand
the critical nature of money management and the related area of risk management.
This is a critical aspect of trading. If you don't get this right you not only
won't be successful, you won't survive! Fortunately, it is not complex to
address and the simple steps we can show you will ensure that you don't "blow
up" and that you get to keep your profits.
MISTAKE SIX
Only
Trading Market in One Direction Most new traders only learn how to trade a
rising market. And very few traders know really good strategies for trading in a
falling market. If you don't learn to trade "both" sides of the market, you are
drastically limiting the number of trades you can take. And this limits the
amount of money you can make. We can show you a simple strategy that allows you
to profit when stocks fall.
MISTAKE SEVEN
Overtrading Most traders new to trading feel they have to be in the market all
the time to make any real money. And they see trading opportunities when they're
not even there. We can show you simple techniques that ensure you only "pull the
trigger" when you should. And how trading less can actually make you more!
