“What sets successful traders apart?

Most people think that winning in the markets has something to do with finding the secret formula.

The truth is that any common denominator among the traders I interviewed had more to do with attitude than approach.

- Jack Schwager.

Our advice: Psychology counts.

Make sure you have a firm grasp on the psychological aspects of trading. This is vital to gaining confidence and trading consistently.

“Whenever I enter a position, I have a predetermined stop. That is the only way I can sleep. I know where I am getting out before I get in. The position size on a trade is determined by the stop, and the stop is determined on a technical basis.”

- Bruce Kovner

$Our advice: Manage your risk.

Managing your risk and managing your money are key aspects of your trading plan.

We teach our students the rules used by a professional trader, including knowing when to take a loss for every trade before entering.

“Pride is a great banana peel - as are hope, fear, and greed. My biggest slip-ups occurred shortly after I got emotionally involved with positions.

-Ed Seykota

Our advice: Don’t trade emotionally. Managing your trades includes managing your mental focus.

If a trade goes against you, it’s important to keep your wits, stick to your plan and avoid letting your emotions take over.

“Lawyers, doctors, engineers and professional men who make a success spend anywhere from two to five years’ time studying and preparing to practice their profession before they begin making any money.

Men enter into speculation in Wall Street without any preparation. They have made no study of it whatsoever. They try to deal in something they know nothing about. Is it any wonder then that they lose?

- William D. Gann

Our advice: Invest in your education.

Education is essential before you enter the market.

Learn the principles, practise, and paper trade first. This way you can fully understand what you are doing before you enter the market.

“Another lesson I learned early is that there is nothing new in Wall Street.

There can’t be because speculation is as old as the hills. Whatever happens in the stock market today has happened before and will happen again. - Jesse Livermore
