What to believe

Everybody talks about technical or fundamental analysis as they know it intimately & feed it to others with the best of intentions (most of the time). Like all skills, if you are trading for financial freedom you better make yourself comfortable as it takes an extraordinary length of time to be good at it. My point is, "there are different trading methods" that work & all you need to do is to find something that suits your lifestyle, schedule, & most of all is your personality. Your personality will ultimately decide if you can stick to a plan even when the going gets tough.


Traders who make money

Those who make money at this game all display the same trait of "always following their trading plan". They will always enter & exit a position with conviction whilst managing the trade at all times. They always keep records of every single trade & the really, really good ones, will review their trades on a regular basis.


This will be hard to imagine 

Good traders are always open to new ideas as they never stop learning & even find ways to improve their trading performance. Most importantly good trader accepts there will be good times & bad times (swings & roundabouts) & how they handle themselves in difficult times will ultimately determine how successful they will be.
