Last year was great for me both professionally and personally. Every year, writing about all the trading ideas that are going through my head helps me get better and grow as a trader, and I want to share as much of that knowledge with you as I can.
So, to catch you up on the best things that happened last year, here is a list of 12 killer posts that you may have missed:
Don’t think about money when trading if you want to make a lot of money.
The first post on our list is an article I wrote to try to show traders that focusing too much on “money” and “reward/profit” is the real reason why most people don’t make money trading.
What you need to do is become very focused on the actual process and details of trading and learn to LOVE that part. If you get to the point where you really enjoy being disciplined and patient, keeping track of your performance, and sticking to a trading plan, money and profits will start to come to you more and more.
I would take three trading strategies to a desert island
This lesson was meant to show you what trading strategies I would choose if I could only choose a few. In reality, you only need a few trading strategies to get into the market at a high-probability time. This article had two goals: to explain some of my favorite trading strategies based on price action and to show that a trading strategy is more than just a “signal bar.” Money management and trading time frames are also important parts of your “trading strategy” and are just as important as the entry signal.
Don’t open The Trading Pandora’s Box
This post was written to warn traders about the “snowball effect” of trading mistakes, or the “Pandora’s box” that is easy to open in the trading world.
Once a trader starts trading too often, risks too much, or makes any number of other mistakes, it usually starts a “chain-reaction” of trading mistakes that quickly erases any progress they’ve made and can just as quickly wipe out their trading account.
What Would Happen If You Only Made 4 Trades a Month?
In this lesson, I talk about the POWER of a low-frequency trading approach and show you how it can be used.
Trading too much is by far the biggest reason why most small traders lose money on the markets. In this lesson, I show you how just 4 trades a month can give you a very, very nice return, even if you lose 50% of the trades. That means you only need to win 2 trades a month. I’m willing to bet that most of you trade more than four times a month right now, and you’re probably not making money either.
What I wish I had known 18 years ago about trading
This lesson is a deep dive into some of the most important lessons I’ve learned in the 18 years since I started trading the markets. If you read this post carefully, you will pick up years of trading knowledge that cost me a lot of time and money to learn.
Analysis of price action shows where money is going.
In one of my most detailed posts about the power of price action, I explain how price action is like a story on the charts that you can learn to read if you get the right training and put in the screen time. If you learn about price action trading the right way, you will know which price bars are important and which ones probably aren’t, as well as how to figure out what they mean.
Here’s what happens if you practice the same trading strategy 10,000 times:
Bruce Lee once said, “I don’t fear the person who has done 10,000 kicks once, but I do fear the person who has done one kick 10,000 times.”
This means that as a trader, you are more “lethal” if you focus on fewer things and get really, really good at them. Most traders, on the other hand, try to learn “everything” they read or hear about, including trading indicators, gurus, forums, etc. As a result, they end up “lost in the sauce” of trading information.
There are six different ways to trade with Tailed Bar Candlesticks
The tails on candlestick bars, also sometimes called “shadows” or “wicks” are very, very important. So much so, that I devoted an entire lesson to them, which you can read in the link below. But not “every” tailed bar is the same, so you need to learn how to trade them and what makes them different.
How to Develop a Winning Trader’s Mindset
A big part of my professional trading course is about trader psychology, mindset, and self-control. This is because having a winning trading mindset is one of the most important parts of being a successful trader, and many people would argue that it is the most important part.
How to Use 1-Hour and 4-Hour Charts to Confirm Daily Chart Signals
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you already know that I like the daily chart time frame and that I’ve written a lot about it. But, as I learned in my trading course, I also use the 1 hour and 4 hour time frames.
How to Invest Like a Manager of a Hedge Fund
Some of you may not like this or even agree with it, but in all the years I’ve been in business and speculating on the stock market, I’ve never found it to be false: to succeed, you have to “fake it until you make it.” It sounds like a cliche, but here’s why it’s damn true: To be successful in ANY FIELD, you must first believe you can do it. Then, you must start to follow that belief religiously, making a PLAN OF ATTACK and sticking to it day by day. A belief or dream like “becoming a profitable trader” doesn’t mean anything if you don’t break it down into steps you can take. This is what success is made of, and it all starts with “acting as if” and knowing for sure that you will reach your goal. In fact, you must act as if you have already reached your goal.
The 10 most important things I’ve learned about trading in 18 years
This post is exactly what the title says it is: a list of the 10 most important things I’ve learned in 18 years of trading. As I said before, the advice I give you is probably the best way to learn. My goal is to teach traders what I have learned, whether they take my course to learn more or just read all of my free lessons.
