Useful tips in establishing your trading mindset

If you want to succeed at trading always make it a point te decide wisely and here are some useful tips in establishing your trading mindset.

These may be radical tips for the casual reader, but it had helped a lot of hardy and steadfast successful traders make their mark in the trading market.

First tip is not to mix or listen to anyone. The trading market is also one of stiff competition. The success of one results to the downfall of another.

Trading is like gambling, do not show your cards since those that are in the market will also not lay down their cards for you.

It is a painful truth that 90% of traders lose, so what will it gain for others to make you win?

Second tip, no one else knows better than you.

People tend to get or consult for advice about everything and call for an expert about your car, homemaking or do-it-yourself handiwork, but those are not a competitive or fierce market.

There are trading experts, but trading is a gamble. You know or manage your risks, opportunities and advantages better than others, so rely on your wise and good judgment.

Maybe there are people out there who will teach you to trade and give you education - but ignore the vast amount of so called experts who tell you they can give you success.

Everywhere there are experts selling systems which have never been traded, new traders buy them and think there going to get rich, truth is, no one can give you success, you have to work for it and earn it- that’s the hard and fast rule for establishing your trading mindset.

In trading you are on your own and you know best.

Make your own trading rules, after all, you are the one who best knows how to play your cards and set it in motion to work profitably for you.

People are used to a structured society and we know what time we need to be at work, not to drop litter in public and to stop at red traffic lights, but the trade market has no rules that will always make you win. It’s a dog eat dog atmosphere where if one wins, one should lose.

Your rules apply to you and you can do what you want - no one tells you what to do.

Finally, you must know how to be firm in your decisions. If you may take a decision that would result to losing, don’t try to beat yourself up. Learn from where you failed and set it as a benchmark for your trading path and establishing your trading mindset.

This may be a selfish approach towards trading, but this is how it really looks like in the competitive world of the trading market and how to best approach it is your foolhardy resolve to design, plan and map out your moves.

The fact is, trading mindsets have to be completely different than our normal day-to-day mindsets about living and that's why so many traders lose - they can't change.

Try to be different and make the most out of these useful tips in establishing your trading mindset and if you can, enjoy your spectacular trading success.

This is a nice post. I understand all these points & agree. But this system works for those who do trading in their full time. These are vast majority of people who trade in part time, So for those people experts tips is an hope to make money. If one found good expert or tips provider then he can make good profit. Although sometimes loss occurs but overall if you make profit then loss may be ignore.

I agree that 90% people loss their money. Why ? because they want to become rich overnight. which is not possible in any system. Trading is money making market not a machine that creates money. So if you play wisely & confidently then you have maximum exposure to earn good profit.

Thanks

I believe that few people would like to admit the fact that trading is very similar to gambling. The reality of gambling is that there is an extremely small number of people who are capable of earning a fortune by gambling. There is a handful that are capable of earning a full time living, but only 2 or 3 people total in America alone who have been capable of using gambling on a regular basis to build and establish a fortune. Trading is the same way. It is possible, however, for a handful of people to earn a significant amount of money in trading, even if the long term prospects are slim.

Hi all!Here are five ways to strengthen your trading mindset..2) Avoid over tradingQUOTE]Let me talk on this particular issue. Now many traders are of the opinion that trading many positions puts them at a better chance of winning. Many fall into the trap of multiple trading as they forget that multitasking open positions require a distinct level of market experience and trading maturity. The sad thing is that over trading is quite a silent killer as its dangerous effects are not as visible as that of greed but it would not surprise you that an adverse over tradinf could fetch you a margin call.
