Market Break in?

Recommended Posts

Have you ever had a person, friend or college ask you what they need to do, to be able to work on the same level as you(i.e Trading stocks instead of working at walmart, or target, or even some boring office job?

 

If so what advice have you given them to start into day trading, and how successful were they?

 

About 9 months ago I had a friend in Highschool ( I started trading them) asked me howto do it. I pointed him to watch the news about new companies and mergers and that of the such. I then coached him into buying macromedia stock right before adobe bought them, in 3 months his stock doubled and he still loves me to this day:cool:

well

 

yes I did have friends that look into this business, and they inquired me on how it should be done and everything. I say that, knowledge is king. You need to know what you're doing. At least some basic concepts. Probably I am going to throw some old-fashioned rules here but, understanding the correlation between the economy sectors(bank, defense, semiconductors, pharmaceutical etc), the Dow Jones and the market itself to me is necessary in order to see what's going on. Other suggestion is to understand the concept of supply and demand and how the market create dynamics around these levels.

 

There's plenty of information available outhere. Soultrader has wonderful videos and books on this site . I sincerely doubt you can get any better input outhere that what you have here. With education comes experience. How long does it take to be succesful in this business? That's up to you. I never set a time table on anything. Whenever you're ready..well you're ready. What are you waitng for?

 

Once you now what you're doing and you have a set of rules in place, start trading. Jump in. Demo trade for a while if you want or go live with 1-2 contracts, pips, shares, whatever your market is.

 

Some traders prefer to jump in a go live in order to break the emotional barrier. Whatever works for you. If youd decide to go live, please be sure to know the pro's and con's.

 

Don't become yourself an educational junkie. It's good to be updated on what's going on. But some traders are looking constantly to plug their umbilical chords into everything they see or hear with the hope of getting close to have an A.B DIck printing equipment, that spits $100.00 bills every second. Especially those days when your own "set of rules" seems like not working at all.

 

Trading is a game of probabilities. Your job as a trader is to turn these probabilities into possibilities more often than not. You're going to get burned (for sure) sometimes. The key is to get burned but not roasted. Managing your bankroll is another thing you need to master. Again, there's plenty of help outhere.

 

This is basically what I tell friends and people who I helped in the past.

 

Regards

Thank you for the compliments Raul :) You basically said everything a new trader needs to hear.

 

One advice I give to all new traders is to listen. Many people hear but they never listen. Fools think they know everything. The moment you think you know it all is the moment you slipped down into mediocricy.

 

There is so much to learn about trading. The markets teach me something new everyday. This is why trading is so exciting. You never sleep without gaining regardless of whether you won or lost that day.

 

Have an open mind and listen to others. There is no reason to shut off your mind from other traders comments. Out of 30 irrelevant comments, you might find 1 comment that can change your life.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
