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. Stock trading success will come when you keep your trades low risk on a consistent basis over time. Sure, this attitude will result in you missing out on the occasional windfall that the movies have led us all to believe can happen all the time. However, I have discovered that searching for that godsend trade does nothing but result in a horrendous loss that can completely demolish the portfolio you have been working so hard to build. Better to stay lower risk with steady profits over time if you are looking to make stock trading more than a hobby.
2. You don't have to spend the whole day trading to thrive at stock trading. Now, don't misunderstand. Stock trading is not another get rich quick hustle. You must put in the time and the commitment to master the processes needed to be successful. But, by using GAP trading effectively, my trading day lasts between two and four hours, plus another hour of prep time. And, I make a great income. You can too, if you can find the right process to do so.
3. The experiences of other successful traders who have "gone before" you can speed up your success tremendously. Don't start from scratch because it will take you 10 or more years and a lot of money to make all the mistakes others have already made. It is just smart business to use the knowledge of others. How many times do we hear "don't reinvent the wheel", then turn around and do just that? Instead, read books by successful traders, take classes, find mentors, and use the wisdom of others to make your road more pleasurable and secure.
Stock trading is often depicted as mystical and only accessible to the gurus of the industry. Take it from a regular guy, that idea is not correct. With the right processes established and a good understanding of the basic truths of stock trading, anyone can be prosperous. - 23204
