One of the biggest problems I see with new traders ( and even some old ) has nothing to do with the software or the broker they use. Nor is the problem due to a too high or too low sales , or do not have enough money. The problem is not one of those things .
It has to do with not having a trading plan . A good trading plan will go a long way to go . To solve the above problems
Ted Williams was once asked how he hit the baseball so much better than all the others . He said he had no idea and he just went to the plate and swung at the ball . There is only one Ted Williams and as big as he was at hitting a baseball , I do not think he would be a great day trader with that approach have made . Most big hitters an idea what they are going every time they step up to the plate to do . Traders need to know exactly what they expect every time they enter a trade.
Everyone has to start with a basic trading plan and use it. As the old saying goes , "Plan your work and work your plan ." However, you should also be prepared to be flexible. That should be a part of your planning. As Clint Eastwood said as his character in " Heartbreak Ridge " , "You have to adapt , you have to learn to improvise . And if all else fails , you must learn to survive ! " Traders who are not able to make adjustments create, improvise and survive will have their own experience Heartbreak Ridge .
Your trading plan is not one where you just found out you are just going to be different to follow someone. That can be a way to start and get a little experience, and it can be a part of a much larger overall plan to be . But it can not begin and end there. You must learn to trade on your own , so you do not accidentally follow someone off a cliff . You need to know who to follow and who not to follow .
When I acted I made many good trades know who to follow and who not to follow . Yet , in the long run , I do not think you can make a living doing it. The biggest problem when following other traders is too far behind the market , because you are " following " and not leading . I think every trader should be the best trader can he possibly be on his own become . He must be there as soon as he can get . After more experienced traders can be a means to this end and can help get you started , but it can not. End This takes planning .
A basic trading plan will take your long term goals and objectives as a trader . You must decide whether you want to try to make the trade, or just be . Part-time entrepreneur career Once you've decided how much money you would like to make on either full- time or part -time trading can make other decisions. , As Must be realistic. Money goals They can not be alone, "I want as much money as I can ." These fundamental decisions , the time and money you will have to commit to be determined .
Your trading plan should be ongoing, constantly evolving and eventually things like how many days , weeks and hours you must act to contain your goals. If it is so detailed , I think it should be, you would know how many transactions per day and how much profit per trade you will have to average. Of course, these things need to be developed over time and added to your plan as you go and if you do more knowledge.
There are many excellent books on learning to day trade . My favorites are on
