10 things that a trader has to overcome to stay calm and be profitable

Impulsiveness
-Replace impulsiveness with proven rules that filter emotions into the correct actions.

Impatience
-Replace market noise and emotions with quantified entries and exits based on signals.

Anger
-Replace animosity towards the market with respect for price action and emotionless trading.

Uncertainty
-Accept the randomness of short term results and embrace the long term edge.

Laziness
-Reduce stress by doing homework when the market is closed so you can be ready when the market is open.

Greed
-Replace the need for immediate wins with a process for consistently growing capital.

Fear
-Replace your fear of failure with confidence in your system and your ability to follow it successfully.

Ego
-Replace your need to be right about specific trades with the desire to make money.

Hope
-Replace the hope that a losing trade will recover with a well-planned stop loss.

Stress
-Reduce stress by choosing to have small losses fast instead of big, slow losses.

＞＞＞Profitable traders are rarely overstressed. Emotions are natural, they’re part of being human. It’s the way we manage them that makes the difference. The egomaniacs and the gamblers are usually the ones that lose it all. A good trader is a business person and not a gambler. They see risks and rewards, profits and losses, divorced from their egos and emotions. The calm traders are the ones that keep a level head and maximize opportunities when the market presents them. They have mastered the art of being patient, trading small, staying calm, and trading profitability.

Understanding Gaps in the market and trading them !!

Common Gaps Sometimes referred to as a trading gap or an area gap, the common gap is usually uneventful. In fact, they can be caused by a stock going ex-dividend when the trading volume is low. These gaps are common (get it?) and usually get filled fairly quickly. "Getting filled" means that the price action at a later time (few days to a few weeks) usually retraces at the least to the last day before the gap. This is also known as closing the gap. Here is a chart of two common gaps that have not been filled for while but now filled up . Notice that after the gap the prices have come down to at least the beginning of the gap? That is called closing or filling the gap. A common gap usually appears in a trading range or congestion area, and reinforces the apparent lack of interest in the stock at that time. Many times this is further exacerbated by low trading volume. Being aware of these types of gaps is good, but doubtful that they will produce a trading opportunities. Brea...

The Force is Within You, Luke. It’s Not the Trading System.

There are only a handful of people who give a darn about supplying traders with a way to be more disciplined and focused in their trading. I’m one of them, so I think I know why there are so few of us. Heck, I’m in the business of supplying traders with a tool to help improve the mental side of the trading equation… the “human” element. With (what I think) is such an important service, why am I out here virtually alone? For a couple of reasons. First, although most traders will admit that the mental part of trading is key to winning in the long-term, most believe they can “gut it up” and just “shake it off” when negative emotions and behaviors rear their ugly heads. They don’t need a shrink! They know what they need to do and by-cracky, they’ll do what needs to be done without any help! I call this the Macho Syndrome And what’s funny is… I get most resistance to the notion of mental discipline (as formal training) from those t...
