The Six Deadliest Mistakes Traders Make...

Over the past several years that I’ve been coaching traders… I’ve been asked a bunch of times what separates the “wannabe traders” from the Pros, who actually make real money in the market. And I usually answer by giving the six things that loosing traders do to sabotage their trading accounts… and ruin any chance they have for profit. Well, I’ve put together a...

Anxiety Clouds Judgement...

At some point, every trader will take a loss. And I discovered long ago that if I accepted my losses and moved on without serious soul searching, I would not reach my full potential as an Options Trader. Things happen in the Market that are outside of my control. But those trades don’t concern me, as I prepare for the next trade. The trades that really turn my stomach inside out are...

Will You Outlast Your Money?...

A couple days ago, I was getting my morning caffeine fix (I LOVE a good cup of coffee) while reading the daily financial news, and I stumbled across an article that gave the reason the large majority of people will retire poor (or “Outlast Their Money”)… … and how to avoid ending up in that category. It said stuff like, “26% of Americans have $1000 or less saved for...

    Good but worrisome situation as you described in the the above. I’m working on a good retirement by saving and investing. Been doing covered call options for years now, but your course on Credit Spreads has opened up new roads to an even better retirement. Just wanted to say thanks.

    Something I’ve often told college students recently is that both of the industries I’ve worked in during my career DID NOT EXIST when I was in school (Fiber Optic communications and Networked Computing). Graduate school will give you more tools, but your imagination and enthusiasm will allow you to apply the tools in any field you find yourself in. As Jeff said, keep trading to hone your skills, go to grad school in finance/business or whatever only to help you with the analysis of opportunities to bolster your trading.
    And finally, look to “a job” right now following a passion, hobby, or talent. Your trading is the goal, you can set aside money from whatever you earn, small amounts or large. If you can “sharpen your saw” as you work through your career, you will have a fulfilling life and no regrets to look back on.
    All the best,
    Brian

    Kenneth,
    Great going on your trading, don’t quit. Here is what I follow and it works every single time. “Follow you passion and money will come.” I love trading and have become very good at it. Jeff is right, master one strategy. Know it forwards, sideways and backwards. One book that really helped me is written by Mark Douglas “Trading in the Zone” Stick with it.

    Hi Jeff,
    thanks for the video…good suggestions…only would find more specific points about the front end evaluating the market which you referred to.
    Regards,
    Lawrence

  3. Davo says:

    Interesting stuff Jeff – would have been far more powerful however if you had actually gone through examples of each point eg overall market – reviewing trades – other points etc etc

  4. Ray Grier says:

    As a nubbie, I found this very helpful to learn the components of a underlying approach to develop good trading habits early in my training to follow daily.

    Thank you.

    Great video, A lot of good stuff

  6. Bill Smith says:

    Well said, we all go through nervous experiences, only to be a better person, athlete, or trader. We have to use the nervousness to build on our abilities. Nerves are a natural way to prepare us for the event.

  7. Howard McCallum says:

    Great advice. It’s a plan not just for trading, but for life in general.

    Thank you for this video. I am trading regularly now. This month was a down month but I learned a lot. I have a long way to go, but I will get better.

    Jeff, Thank you for the video. Instilling this habit into my daily routine will help me become much more disciplined as a trader. Too often, without this pre and post planning, I get whipsawed by what the market is doing tick by tick and not falling back on my trade plan. Thank you for going over the importance of this (and the trading idea book), this should help me improve my results!

  10. Tony Cota says:

    Great Stuff!

    The key for me is that you have made all of it a daily habit. Something I have yet to do with this Options trading and reflects in my up and down success.

    More Please!

    Thanks

    Tony

  11. Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
