The Three “Secrets” to Day Trading Success


Trading can be simple, but it’s not easy. And trading is definitely more difficult if you complicate it.

Remember the saying: “A Confused Mind Takes No Action.” As a trader, you MUST take action, every single day; therefore, you must avoid confusion.

So keep it simple. Very simple.

Here are the three “Secrets” to Day Trading Success

 Secret 1: Trading In the Right Direction
You must buy when the market is going up and sell when the market is going down. That’s how money is made.

 Secret 2: Always Know When To Exit A Trade
It is essential that you know when it’s the right time to exit with a profit AND when it’s the right time to exit with a loss.

 Secret 3: Trade the Right Market
The right market is a trending market. As you know, money is made in trends – either up or down – so you dramatically increase your chances of making money if you trade a trending market.

Now you know why I put the word “secrets” in quotation marks. These are not “secrets” at all.

Unfortunately, though, most traders don’t realize the importance of these facts and tend to forget them.

Losing traders focus on finding a “magic method” of trading, visiting countless websites and spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on books, courses, and software packages.
Don’t make the same mistake. Keep your trading simple.

Remember, the “secrets” to day trading success are universal. They apply to every market, whether you’re trading stocks, futures, options, or forex. And they apply to every timeframe, which is why they’re so powerful.

Focus on the “secrets:”
1.) Learn how to determine whether the market is going up or going down.

2.) Learn when to exit a trade, when to take a profit, and when to bail if the market is not moving in your favor.

3.) And learn how to find the right market.

Don’t make your trading overly complicated. Stick to the basics. As you already know, if you can’t drive a Ford, you won’t be able to drive a Ferrari. And if you can’t drive a car at 10mph, you shouldn’t try to drive it at 80mph.
Remember Power Principle #1: Use Few Rules – Make It Easy to Understand . That’s how your trading plan should be.

                                                           
Action Items:
 Take a look at your trading plan right now and answer the following questions:

 o Have you found an easy way to identify the direction of the market?

o What tools or indicators are you using?

 o Are you using more than two indicators? Are they complementing each other or contradicting each other?

 o Can you describe your entry rules in two lines or less?

 o Do you know exactly when to exit a trade?

 o Do you know when to exit a trade even before you enter it?

o Are you sure you’re trading the right market? Did you select a market based on your goals or based on a “friend’s” recommendation?

o Did you evaluate other markets to see if there’s an alternative market which may support your goals and your trading strategy BETTER than the one you're trading now?

Oportunitate de tranzactionare 13 Iulie 2015 USDCHF

Pe Time-frame-ul Daily al perechii valutare USDCHF am indentificat un pattern numit Congestion (Congestie) , iar ultima lumanare indica faptul ca aceasta Congestie a fost "strapunsa" in jos, lucru care semnaleaza o posibilitate de miscare in jos in urmatoarele zile de tranzactionare.

Personal, iau in considerare deschiderea unei pozitii short avand urmatorii parametrii ai tranzactiei :

1. Intrare in Piata la pretul 0.9356.
2. Stop Loss la pretul 0.9500
3. Take Profit la pretul 0.9200



UPDATE : Pretul nu a atins nivelul 0.9356 motiv pentru care nu am intrat in tranzactie. Mergem mai departe. :)

Successful traders ...

Here are some important characteristics of successful traders:

 Successful traders do not blame. They accept the losses they have, and they don’t dwell on them, or blame other people or conditions. They learn from their mistakes and move on with their trading.

 Successful traders have a system. They stick to their system of trading religiously.

 Successful traders have patience. They know that most positions will not be profitable the minute they are opened.

 Successful traders do not overtrade. They realize that overtrading puts their account at risk, and they know that not every day is a day for trading. They wait for high probability opportunities.

 Successful traders realize that nothing is 100% foolproof. They trust in their indicators, but they are aware of other factors that may influence their trades.

 Successful traders do not stay in a losing trade. They honor the stop losses that they set, and they do not hold their position in the hopes that the market will eventually “go their way.”

 Successful traders do not rush into trades. They take their time while selecting trades, and they are picky about which trades to jump on. They don’t place orders just for the sake of having a position in the market every second.

 Successful traders stick to a successful strategy. They have one to three techniques that really work, and they use them over, and over, and over again.

 Successful traders have the ability to adapt. They adjust their trading methods and decisions to changing market conditions.


                                                                                      

 Successful traders know what type of trader they are. They don’t force themselves to trade with methods or strategies that do not fit their personality.

 Successful traders bank on consistent profits. They know that ignoring the small-profit trades and angling for a “grand slam” is a sure way to lose money.

 Successful traders take action. They don’t let their fear control their decisions or interfere with their trading.

 Successful traders use successful systems. Their trading methods and indicators focus on high probability trades, sound money management, keeping their strategies free of curve-fitting, and working their system into their business plans for successful implementation.

 Successful traders recognize a “good” trade. They don’t base their evaluation on profits or losses; they base it on whether or not they followed their trading plan to the letter. Even if they DID lose money, as long as they stuck to their plan, it is a “good” trade.

 Successful traders take time off. They realize the importance of taking breaks from trading and the markets to clear their heads.

 Successful traders do not fear losses. They realize that losses are a part of their business, and they expect them.

If you can adopt the right psychological mindset, then you’ll gain a significant edge in the market.
