Can I Apply One System to All Markets

Can I Apply One System to All Markets

If you apply one system with an index filter to all markets with a big watchlist, you will be turning that system on or off for all markets simultaneously. So, do you want to build country diversification into your portfolio intentionally? If you're going to build country diversification intentionally, then applying the system to all markets simultaneously won't force country diversification....

Predicting If & When the Stock Market Hits Bottom

Predicting If & When the Stock Market Hits Bottom

One of the big mistakes that people make is trying to predict the markets. No one can accurately predict the market consistently over again because we don't have a crystal ball to predict what events will unfold. If you read all my emails, it's a bit tongue-in-cheek about calling it the market bottom, but I think you want to understand the implications of what-ifs. What would happen in my...

Trade Your Personality, Lifestyle, And Objectives

Trade Your Personality, Lifestyle, And Objectives

If you're going to be active in the market, you've got to have an approach that fits you in terms of personality, objectives, and lifestyle. If you are hyperactive, want lots of action sort of person, you can't buy and hold for ten years, since you'll be bored out of your mind, sabotage it, and similar for the opposite. Objectives are like, "I want to spend 20 minutes a day doing this so that I...

How To Learn Stock Trading the Smart Way… Before Quitting Your Day Job

How To Learn Stock Trading the Smart Way… Before Quitting Your Day Job

I'm not sure what it is about trading and the financial markets that people think, "Oh, I'll just quit my job, and trade for a living." It's like, "What? I'll just quit my job and become a brain surgeon." No you won't because you'll kill a few people while you're learning, and then you won't ever get a job as a brain surgeon. People also come to the markets thinking, "Oh, I'll make some money,...

10th Commandment of Profitable Trading- Aim for good not perfect

10th Commandment of Profitable Trading- Aim for good not perfect

The tenth commandment of profitable trading is the most interesting. Most people look for the holy grail. What is the best strategy, the best set of rules, the best stock to buy, and the best that will make people rich. However, that search is a fool's errand because you spend so much time searching for perfection that you don't make money. If you've got a good trading strategy and follow it...

9th Commandment of Profitable Trading- Eliminate mistakes

The ninth commandment of profitable trading is to eliminate mistakes. The trouble is most people don't know they're making mistakes. I wrote a document and it's got 97 common trading mistakes people have called the Trading Mistakes Cheat Sheet. As you are doing your trading, your journal says, "Okay, what did I do wrong today? What went wrong? What could have done better?" And identify what...

8th Commandment of Profitable Trading- Diversify multiple ways 

8th Commandment of Profitable Trading- Diversify multiple ways 

The eighth commandment of profitable trading is diversifying in multiple ways. Most people think they're diversified just because they have five bucks, but no, they're not at all. Nowhere near it. You'd want to have different strategies, markets, and time frames. In my program the Trader Success System, I talk about three different ways of diversification: designs, markets, and time frames....

7th Commandment of Profitable Trading- Write your trading plan 

7th Commandment of Profitable Trading- Write your trading plan 

The seventh commandment of profitable trading is to write your plan. You wouldn't go headlong into a business without any plan at all. You would have to have a business plan about what you would do, how you would make money, what your processes would be, and what your backup plans were. Most people go into the markets with no plan: no rules, risk management, and...
