Do You Have Trading Resolutions for 2013?????????????

Recommended Posts

Have you critically evaluated your trading performance in 2012? What strategies worked for and against you? What mistakes did you make and what wise decisions increased your net worth?

Well, if you have walked back into the trading arena without looking back at your performance in 2012 then you most probably will make similar if not worse mistakes. Trade differently this year by making feasible and achievable resolutions that will guide your trading.

Here are some of the resolutions I have made:

1. Start by improving your personal life

The benefit of having an all round life is that it will reflect positively in your trading behavior, and eventually in the profits that you will make. This year, plan your time well, be objective, disciplined and stopping wasting time on things that do not really matter. If you start on a project, complete it.

2. Stick to a trading method that has worked for you, but at the same time, learn new strategies

Many traders struggle to make money because they try to apply all strategies they know at the same time. It may help you better if you stick to one strategy all year round and not jump from one strategy to another. Try and specialize in one trading area and teach others how to succeed in it too. 

3. Set a time limit for trading

Spending too much time watching charts may end up being counterproductive. Set an adequate amount of time that will be productive and enough for you to watch your charts and make good trading decisions. Too much screen time has led to hypnotism of some traders which has resulted in them in making trades that are not really valid. However, you can spend as much time as you would like increasing your general investor knowledge.

4. Keep it simple- think less, analyze less, but take action

Humans tend to complicate many things including trading. Keep to one strategy that will guide you to victory. Remove all kinds of unnecessary clutter from your charts that tend to blur your decision making. Do not spend too much time analyzing as this may complicate and eventually confuse you.

 

KEEP IT REAL. HAPPY 2013 :cool:

My 2013 resolution is to be more disciplined.

 

Your resolutions r valid and, if implemented, will produce better results. If we want to group all of these points under one major head, it will be discipline. Basically if u r disciplined in trading, it will benefit u a lot. Your learning pace will be increased. Your analytical skills will increase. You will be able to control ur emotions.

 

Traders should analyze their weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually and annually. Compare ur performance with past periods and see where u lack and where u r strong. Sometimes traders change their trading strategy completely and ignore strengths of that strategy. So traders should concentrate on areas where they r weak.

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
