The ABC's of Stock Trading Success

Written by Tony Spann and the Team

He then reduced his position size to allow for these stop loss orders being further away fromrepparttar price action, so that his account was never at risk of being totally wiped out by one serious loss.

He did a pre-trade and post trade analysis sheet, so he could analyze his performance and try to consistently improve his results.

(This can be as simple as a sheet of paper where you write down your order,repparttar 100495 position ofrepparttar 100496 market and your thoughts and feelings before, during and after a trade.

Or it can be an elaborate system of checks and balances that guide you through each of your trades. Be careful though - keep it simple or you probably won't use it!)

Once he started to do this, he started to make money (withrepparttar 100497 exact system we have been teaching you on this Website).

(There are, of course, many other strategies and systems you can use in addition torepparttar 100498 lessons we teach you to increase your profits, but to start with, these methods are all you really need to become a profitable trader.)

We are always learning and improving - every trader should strive to do this also.

When you are making consistent profits usingrepparttar 100499 methods we have shared with you, investigate some of these additional entry and exit techniques, but not atrepparttar 100500 start. Keep it simple.

When he started to trade this way, he found it was far better to take a small position with a loose stop loss and be able to sleep at night, than his previous strategy of using maximum leverage and stressing out whenever he was inrepparttar 100501 market, torepparttar 100502 point where he couldn't stand to walk away from his screen in caserepparttar 100503 position went against him.

This method sets up lots of profits and a few losses. Much better thanrepparttar 100504 alternative he had previously used.

He then started looking for Stocks that trended strongly for long periods of time, and was drawn torepparttar 100505 US Stock Market.

He used exactlyrepparttar 100506 same entry and analysis techniques I have shown you onrepparttar 100507 Website, and - He bought Call options in Gen Probe Inc (GPRO) withrepparttar 100508 Stock at $27 and held on untilrepparttar 100509 Stock price was $58 three months later. He bought Pacificare Health Systems Call options (PHS) when it was trading at $24 and held them to $51 four months later. And he bought Sandisc Corp Call options (SNDK) withrepparttar 100510 Stock at $24 and held them to $58 less than four months later. (Please Note - these are not Stock recommendations, they are merely mentioned here for illustration and educational purposes andrepparttar 100511 trades are hypothetical examples).

Can you imaginerepparttar 100512 change inrepparttar 100513 size of his trading account balance?

None of these Stocks had given him any reason to sell earlier, so he simply held on forrepparttar 100514 ride…Awareness, Belief, Conduct...the success triangle.

The Awareness will come when you study and really 'get'repparttar 100515 lessons onrepparttar 100516 Website and inrepparttar 100517 Newsletter.

Studyrepparttar 100518 lessons carefully, read books written byrepparttar 100519 masters. Teach others what you have learned - you will gain a better understanding yourself.

All human interaction is a chance to learn or to teach.

By teaching someone else and sharing your knowledge, you will learn any subject at a deeper level. You ultimately go from an intellectual understanding to an emotional understanding (as Robert Allen calls them, an aha!) of your chosen area of interest, in this case, profitable trading. Try it...

The Belief will come when you back testrepparttar 100520 Trading Plan I share with you onrepparttar 100521 Stocks that you want to trade and prove to yourself that it does indeed work.

Visualize yourself making a series of profitable trades. Feel how good it is to seerepparttar 100522 market moving inrepparttar 100523 direction you expected it to.

Imagine spendingrepparttar 100524 profits you make trading Stocks with your family and friends, andrepparttar 100525 time you will have to dorepparttar 100526 things you want to do instead ofrepparttar 100527 things you have to do. Successful trading gives yourepparttar 100528 'time freedom' to do whatever it is that you want to do with your life. Do it first in your mind, and then do it inrepparttar 100529 market.

Your Conduct - well that's up to you. Will you 'decide' to look at your written trading plan as your life raft? Cling to it as your last defense againstrepparttar 100530 emotions of fear and greed that live inside each one of us?

Will you trade withrepparttar 100531 trend, enter off 1 to 4 day reactions torepparttar 100532 main trend, reduce your leverage or position size and put your stop loss orders out ofrepparttar 100533 way, sorepparttar 100534 market has to change trend to get you?

If you do this, you should be confident that you can achieve trading success. That is our wish for you. Good luck.

Now, lets review today's lesson - The Trading Success Triangle has as it's three sides - Awareness, Belief and Conduct If any of these elements are weak or missing,repparttar 100535 triangle has no strength The sides are all important and are dependent on each other, but Conduct isrepparttar 100536 most difficult forrepparttar 100537 average trader to master Fear and Greed act to change our conduct from what our rational thoughts tell us isrepparttar 100538 correct course of action, to actions that aren't always in our best interests By controlling Fear and Greed, we can make rational decisions that help us to become profitable traders

I hope this lesson has helped you in understandingrepparttar 100539 mindset of a successful trader a little better.

Understanding these three critical elements of trading psychology will put you well onrepparttar 100540 way to a profitable trading career.

Get this, and your trading success is practically assured. Missrepparttar 100541 lesson, and your chances of making big money inrepparttar 100542 Stock Market are profoundly limited.

Please feel free to share this lesson with your trading friends and associates - they will thank you for it.

Continued from page 1

One way to make sure that you are not enteringrepparttar credit card information intorepparttar 100494 wrong place is to avoid entering your number into websites that you get to through links in emails. If you ever get an email from a website that requires your credit card number, and it is a site that you have purchased from inrepparttar 100495 past, then you should go torepparttar 100496 URL manually by typing it intorepparttar 100497 address bar in your internet browser. That way, you won’t be tricked into giving your number to people trying to commit credit card fraud by websites using host masks.

You should also check your credit report as often as you can. That way, if there are any unusual charges on your card, or evidence of credit card fraud, you’ll know right away. The first thing you should do if you notice irregular charges is to call your credit card company and reportrepparttar 100498 stolen credit card. Remember, if you call in right away, you will not be held responsible forrepparttar 100499 charges on your card.

The best way to keep yourself from falling victim to credit card fraud is to stay aware of what your credit card is being used for.
