The markets can reward you for no rhyme or reason.

But if you think you have cracked the code, the market can take everything back and more.

If you don’t want that to happen, always manage your risk—and never assume you know it all.

[Always be a student of the markets]

Here’s my learning curve as a trader:

I started with indicators, then price action trading.

And for a few years, I thought that’s all I needed because after all, the price is king and that’s all I needed to be a profitable trader.

But that hurts my growth because I tuned out everything else (and limited myself only to price action trading).

When I realized my folly, I quickly went back to being a student of the markets.

So I asked myself:

“What are other winning traders doing to profit from the markets?”

That’s when I got exposed to trend following, systems trading, mean reversion trading, etc.

By expanding my knowledge and incorporating different strategies, I was able to find more trading opportunities (most traders are blinded to).

So here's the deal...

You may (or may not) be a profitable trader but, it doesn’t mean your learning curve is over because you’re always a student of the market.

I encourage you to keep learning and exploring new strategies.

Don't limit yourself to just one approach, because there's always more to discover.

Ultimately, the key is to remain open-minded and willing to try new things. It can be scary to step outside your comfort zone, but it's often the only way to achieve true growth and success.

Anyone can make money from trading.

But few are consistently profitable in the long run.

Why?

Because only a few have... Edge + Risk Management + Discipline

[How to improve your trading results, fast]

Here’s the deal:

You can figure things out on your own which will cost you time and money or, simply follow what works.

You’re probably wondering:

“How do I know what works?”

Well, the key thing is to look for trading books which contain specific trading rules with backtested results.

Here are some books worth checking out:

– Following the Trend: Andreas Clenow
– Trading systems: Urban & Emilio
– Automated stock trading: Laurens Bensdorp
– Short-term trading strategies that work: Larry & Cesar
– Building Reliable Trading Systems: Keith Fitschen

This way, you don’t have to re-invent the wheel and can simply tweak their trading strategy to your needs.

There are no perfect entries:

Breakouts may fail

Pullbacks may never come

Confirmation may be too late

Pullbacks may become a reversal

But the good news is this, you don't need perfect entries to make it as a trader

[Pullback stock trading tips]

When it comes to stock trading, it’s possible to have hundreds of stocks forming a pullback trading setup at the same time.

So the question is:

How do you know which stocks to buy and which to avoid?

Well, the secret is to focus on stocks which have increased the most in price over the last 12 months.

Why?

Because these are stocks likely to outperform the market (and it’s been proven in theory as well according to the paper Returns to Buying Winners and Selling Losers by Jegadeesh and Titman).

So, how do you apply this to your trading?

1. Rank stocks according to their rate of change (ROC) over the last 50-weeks—from the highest to the lowest

2. Look for a pullback trading setup on stocks with the highest ROC value. If there isn’t, then move to the next stock (with a lower ROC value)

3. The top 5 stocks with a valid pullback trading setup are the ones to focus on

Pro Tip:
You can use a platform like Thinkorswim to help you rank the stocks, and it’s free.

You can give excuses or become a profitable trader. But you can't do both.

[The hidden cost of copy trading that nobody tells you]

Copy trading is a business.

So, if you’re not being charged any upfront fee, then you’re paying more for the spread and overnight fees.

I’ll explain…

For most Forex brokers, the spread on EUR/USD is 1 pip. But on a copy trading platform, you might pay 2 to 3 pips more.

But don’t take my words for it because you can compare the spreads of a normal Forex broker with a copy trading platform and you’ll see the difference.

So, what’s the implication?

Two things.

#1: If you’re a trader being copied, then bear in mind your trading strategy won’t work as well because you’re paying more in spread (compared to a typical Forex broker).

#2: If you’re copying another trader, then it’s best to follow traders who trade infrequently so the spread doesn’t eat up a huge chunk of your profits.

Now, the spread isn’t your only cost because you still have to consider overnight fees (if you’re holding positions for longer than a day).

This fee is calculated by taking Libor + X%.

(Libor stands for inter-bank offered rate. It’s an interest rate that banks charge to other banks for borrowing the money.)

So, what is X?

Well, this is the mark up that’s determined by the copy trading platform and you’ll need to check with them for the exact amount.

The good news is, you don’t have to worry about calculating all these because the platform will likely do it for you—so do check it out before placing a trade.

Now, there are probably other fees to consider but the spread and overnight fees make up the chunk of it.
