The Emotion Struggle

Trading is so solitary. Chat rooms and CNBC are so irritating!
NO one learns for you - there is no information that will make you a better trader. There are trading principles that you learn , and then practice - that is how to become consistenly profitable. I find it so frustrating - the constant struggle to get good information out there. I am not sure what a blog is for - but I think talking about the iddues we deal with to get to trading might be a good topic.

One might know what to do - for example - ok, I am long above the 50 weekMA and stopped out udner - but how many people do what they know they should do. It is like driving - we KNOW we are supposed to stop at the STOP sign - but do we roll through? knowing what to do and doing it are two different things and the difference is the difference between profit and loss.

One can be right - or profitable - it is a choice.

Some guy called me up the other day - he wanted to argue that his pivots were better than my pivots. I had no idea what he was talking about. A pivot is a pivot. There is nothing to argue about. Stupidity is profound. Stupidity cannot be fixed.

To be a trader discipline, in fact, that may be the only requirement other than a plan. If a person made one rule for trading and then actually followed it - the chance of being profitable exceeds 50%. Instead, people make 25 rules for trading and follow none of them. I am continually frustrated!

Maybe this will be a great topic - I would love to know what it is that makes someone choose being right over being profitable.

Investire con Successo

Il prezzo oscilla. Il mercato azionario non e' una garanzia di andata e ritorno. Un conto bancario e' una garanzia di ritorno. Lei non sara' mai inferiore a tornare mettete nel vostro conto in banca. Certezza finisce lì. Il grafico postato e' un esempio di come a guardare ad un prezzo grafico. Non ci e' simbolo o tempo, che e' cio' che noi insegniamo perche' sono i principi e le verita' e le due cose non cambiano. Prezzo oltre i 50 MA e RSI> 50% e' il segnale di entrata. Non e' certo che il prezzo sara' alto, ma si puo' essere certi di cio' che si sta per fare. Si noti che mentre il prezzo oscilla in alto e in basso, non pensare a nulla, andare in Italia, andare al lavoro, e di essere il capo del vostro portafoglio!
La fermata perdita (stop loss) va sotto l'aumento del 50 MA. Quando ottenete l'esperienza, imparate di profittare. Non si preoccupi che cosa accade. Avete The 5050 Plan! un programma per profitto. La conoscenza e' potere e ora e' possibile investire con successo (Invest with Success).
What's 'UP' Doc?
Understanding ‘UP’ Is UP good?
Only if you already bought low. Remember that DOWN gives you a chance to buy low and be in for the next move UP. But if your stock is DOWN, you may be wondering, “What’s UP?” Stocks are UP, meaning to the moon or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we trade UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to each trader to use a stop/loss? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP a portfolio. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP old cars. Now let's look in a different way; People stir UP trouble, put UP a chart, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. Sometimes we see that the price is being bid UP, but if we hurry UP, we might mess UP the order and by the time it sets UP again, the volume might be dried UP. If you are biased to think UP is good and DOWN is not, try looking UP side DOWN. Stock market lore has it that what goes DOWN, can also go UP, or DOWN some more. Bulls and bears, UP and DOWN, prepare for the uncertain future by writing UP a trading plan. I could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP. Time to for me to shut DOWN. I hope this cheered you UP and things will be looking UP! (or DOWN, as the case may be). -- Candy Schaap © Copyright CandySchaap.Stockmarketstore.com 2006-2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Publicity, publishing etc.
