Could This Be The “Huge Winning Trade” You’ve Been Dreaming Of?

 

 It’s why we all signed up for the battle against the markets. 

In the beginning, we read an article or saw a sales leaflet about a guy who took his last few dollars and parlayed it into millions in the markets. 

 It usually involved a simple secret that when revealed to you (for a few hundred dollars), you could have the same success. 

Most of the time, we would chuck the article/leaflet into the trash as garbage, but at some low ebb in our psyche, the article read like the answer to our prayers. 

 

Most of us joined the fray for the “big hit”. 

 Whether we 1-2-3-counted with Ken Roberts, waved with Prechter, seasoned with Bernstein, or banded with Bollinger, we all soon realized that if we were going to stay in the game, we needed something more than desire and a dream… 

 We needed a back-tested system that we could have confidence in. 

 We realized that we needed to take our emotions out of trading and look at trading like a professional…like a job. 

 Now, that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun, because winning traders enjoy their jobs like no others. 

 So, we either adopted a guru, inspected his archives of trades (that’s back-testing, right?) and watched him/her live for a while before jumping in, or we bought software to test a system we thought could work. 

Our system in hand, we saddle up to the computer. 

 

We have stops to defend against losing too much in one trade and we have limits to make sure we take our profits when our system tells us to. 

 

After a mix of trades over the first few weeks, we hit on a big one. 

 

The news confirms that we are geniuses and we are quickly heading to our profit target. 

 

In fact, we’re just ticks away. Hey, this heat wave is bigger than anyone expected. There’s no way beans (or that stock or currency) are NOT going to the teens! 

 

“I’ll lift my limit and keep my eye on it.” 

 

Market closes 5 cents above the (former) profit target. 

 

“I’m getting good at this. I’m really developing a market ‘sense’.” 

 

You decide you’ll put a stop right at your (former) profit target, so that if the market backs off, you’ll take your profit where you were going to anyway. 

 (OK, reader, you know what’s coming). 

 Rain in the plains overnight. 

 Nifty open 200 lower. Stopped out. 

 Your genius turned a nice winner into a nice loser.   What happened? 

 

The same thing that happened when you read that original ad that got you involved in all of this… You let your emotions take over. 

 If you’re still trading after a few years, it either means you have very deep pockets or you’ve learned to control your emotions and take the profit your system tells you to. 

 You’re going to need them to overcome all the losses …and become the winner you know you can be. 

👉 TRADING IS NOT A TEAM GAME , YOU NEED TO BE ALONE IN THIS HAVING A GOOD MENTOR IS LIKE HAVING AN EDGE OVER OTHER BEGINNERS < YOU CAN ALWAYS LEARN FROM MISTEAKES BETTER TO LEARN FROM OTHERS MISTAKES MAYBE YOU CANT AFFORD THE LOSSES .

What makes you miss a winning trade ?

 So we will talk about the things which have been holding you back in next few blogs coming in next months taking each specific problem at one time  -  1. Cut winning trades short even though you know your trade setup is solid. 2. Failed to pull the trigger on a perfectly good trade because of fear of loss. 3. Let losing trades run hoping for a return to breakeven. 4. Added to a losing position in the hope that the market would turn around. 5. Made profits in the morning but gave them back in the afternoon. 6. Became more aggressive after losing money. 7. Took unplanned trades when the market suddenly moved. 8. Stopped trading or reduced position size after a loss. 9. Traded greater position size than prudent money management practice would advise 10. Held trades longer than they should have been held looking for a “home run.” 11. Failed to take a perfectly sound setup because the last two trades were losers. 12. After a day of big ...

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...
