A Secret Revealed: Why Most (Day) Traders Fail

The following perspective on (day) trading comes from my many years of experience of active day trading or being repparttar

Internet. One of repparttar 112135

biggest problems I see with new traders (and even some old ones) has nothing to do with repparttar 112136

software or repparttar 112137

broker they are using. Nor is repparttar 112138

problem a result of buying too high or selling to low; or not having enough money. The problem isn't any of those things.

It has to do with not having a trading plan. A good trading plan will go a long way towards solving repparttar 112139 problems mentioned above.

Ted Williams was once asked how he hit repparttar 112140 baseball so much better then everyone else. He said he had no idea and that he just went up to repparttar 112141 plate and swung at repparttar 112142 ball. There has only been one Ted Williams and as great as he was at hitting a baseball, I don't think he would have made a great day trader with that approach. Most great hitters have an idea what they are going to do every time they step up to repparttar 112143 plate. Traders need to know exactly what they expect every time they enter a trade.

Everyone should start out with a basic trading plan and use it. As repparttar 112144 old saying goes, "Plan your work and work your plan". However, you also have to be ready to be flexible. That has to be part of your planning. As Clint Eastwood said as his character in "Heartbreak Ridge", "You got to adjust, you got to learn to improvise. And if all else fails, you to learn to survive!" Traders that are not able to make adjustments, improvise and survive will experience their own Heartbreak Ridge.

Your trading plan can't be one where you simply figure you are just going to follow someone else. That may be one way to get a start and a bit of experience, and it can be a part of a much bigger overall plan. But it cannot start and end there. You have to learn to trade on your own so you don't accidentally follow someone off a cliff. You have to know who to follow and who not to follow.
