"Don't concentrate on winning; concentrate on the process that creates winning."
Still with me I see, well, I am sure this part of my site will do the trick... Quite frankly there is NO guarantee and there are NO refunds. There is no way that I or anyone else can guarantee your success as a trader. So much of being able to trade profitably is dependent upon discipline and psychology as well as possessing the right methodology. However, I can "guarantee" each of the following:
Intellect has absolutely nothing to do with your ability as a trader and success is not a function of how smart you are (I'm a perfect example of this). If you believe otherwise, well, we can always use the additional liquidity.
During your trading career you will experiment with and purchase numerous books, classes, courses and other toys most of which will turn out to be absolutely worthless.
There will be an endless flow of new gimmicks and products for sale most of which will prove to be absolutely worthless.
The vast majority of people who try their hand at trading will never be profitable, and the few that are won't generate enough profits to cover commissions, data feed costs, charting programs, etc.
I have yet to meet a break-even trader or one who is "slightly" profitable...but you will come across many who claim to be one or the other. In this game you either make a whole lot or you Lose.
If you trade your opinion instead of doing what the charts tell you to do, well, we can always use the additional liquidity.
Success in some other walk of life will not automatically propel you to success in trading. If you believe otherwise, well, we can always use the additional liquidity.
The markets will aggravate and frustrate the %$#@ out of you repeatedly and consistently.
You will find yourself muttering the following phrases frequently - "If I would have only. .", and "I should have done ..", and "I can't believe it did ."
You will at some point suffer from "PWS" or what is more commonly referred to as Perpetual Whining Syndrome. There is no known cure for this affliction.
On every trade that you ever take you'll wish you did either more or less size.
Some of the best trades will be the ones you didn't take.
The market is never "too high to buy" or "too low to sell", but you'll often pass on trades because your opinion said otherwise.
You will, and quite often, call the market less-than-complimentary names and use bad language.
The 2nd best time for the market to make a major move is when you can't be at the screen or when your order entry system just went down. The best time for the market to make a major move, or break out of an extended period of congestion, is right after you have gotten fed up and turned the screen off (use of bad language is optional but highly likely once you return to the screen).
And last but certainly not least, almost everyone will tell you that you're nuts for trading and/or that it can't be done. But if you're like me and love it when somebody tells you that, well, your chances for success just increased.
You never know how a horse will pull until you hook him to a heavy load. -- Bear Bryant
