Your Sure Strategy To Lasting Success In Trading
Why is it that a few individuals are successful in trading the markets? And why is it some folk fail? Is it luck that decides whether you are successful or not in making money from the market? Is it the system or method a person use which establishes their success?
A lot would say it is the system or system that they employ which at last figures out whether they come out winning from the market.
Every system that exists on the internet will show you how to make money using it. Without a doubt, it will make money for you. The question is usually how much money will the system make for you. All the system that out there will show to you how their system has work base on historical data or activity and then at the bottom of the page there would be a disclaimer clause that states ‘.. Historical data does not determine or guarantee future earnings….’
So why is it that these sites or page include this disclaimer clause?
The disclaimer clause is incorporated in it because they understand that there are elements which they can’t control. Human feelings. Human feelings are always the key to either success or failure in any business. And it’s no difference when trading the markets. Read all of the books about trading that you need, buy all of the successful system that you need. If you are unable to control your feelings, you cannot achieve success in the markets.
That is the explanation for the disclaimers clause as the one thing the author can not control is their customers or buyers feelings. In the market there are but just two main feelings that each trader will experience ; greediness and terror.
When this emotion appears it isn’t how we eliminate it but instead how we take action on it. There are natural feelings that cannot be eliminated. This feelings forces us to action, so how we take action on it will establish the outcome. Like outrage, when we are indignant at somebody, it’s either we are saying something evil or we are able to just kick a bucket or we will just dive into a pool of water. Which ever action that we take, it makes a different end result or result. All too commonly when we start to see 2 – 3 sequential loses on our trading activities, we might start to have doubt. When this occurs we are at the state of fear, we fear losing more of our cash and therefore start to doubt the system is working. While no system is unconditional, meaning no system will ensure that you’ll make money all of the time. The system seller would say that we might be well placed to make cash constantly, provided we follow their system to the dot.
From another viewpoint, when we start to see 2 or 3 uninterrupted we start to feel on top of the Earth. We start to feel that we will begin making decent money from the market and then start changing the system or perhaps putting additional money in the market to leverage our takings or perhaps start to take on more positions, which eventually make us vary from the system which we were using. This is when greediness has already stepped in to reign our thoughts. There’s asserting ‘The system is only as much use as the individual using it’.
So if we don’t follow the system either with we are making loses or when we are creating profits. We would ultimately fail. And to follow the system requires discipline. The discipline to act on our fear and greed when it sets in, will determine how well we do in the market. Once again discipline is the key. We must have the discipline to say ‘I have reached my target. I should take profits now even though it may go higher’ when greed sets in. And when fear sets in one should say ‘I have to take a position even though the market does not seem to be moving in my favor’ While these are but two circumstances when greed and fears arises, there are, and will be many instances when we need to make a decision to either enter or exit the market. And these are very two most important decisions to take in order to succeed in the markets. The discipline to follow the system diligently no matter what happens to the market.
So regardless of how good the system is, the sole and sure way is to lasting fulfillment in the market rely on the self-control to overcome our private emotional to follow a selected system wisely.
