A Secret Revealed: Why Most (Day) Traders FailWritten by Floyd Snyder
The following perspective on (day) trading comes from my many years of experience of active day trading or being moderator of one of largest day trading chat rooms on Internet. One of biggest problems I see with new traders (and even some old ones) has nothing to do with software or broker they are using. Nor is 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 problems mentioned above. Ted Williams was once asked how he hit baseball so much better then everyone else. He said he had no idea and that he just went up to plate and swung at 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 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 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.

You can find cheap mp3 players all over web. You can get models that were discarded by people who no longer need them, but you can also get newer models that were designed specifically for people looking to spend less than $400 on an mp3 player. The big factors that go into selecting cheap mp3 players are space, design and of course price.When you are looking for cheap mp3 players all of important factors usually come down to one issue, space. The less space you need for your music, less you will have to pay for your player. The type of space that you need is also important. MP3 players that use durable, but smaller flash memory system are usually cheaper than their hard drive counterparts with enormous amounts of space such as 5gigs, 10gigs and even 40gigs. So, if you look for a 1Gig or even 5Gig model, for example, you could load up around fifteen to twenty complete music albums to your player. That will give you anywhere from seventeen to twenty three hours of music. So, unless you really need to convert a large music catalog where you will store thousands of songs, start looking at cheap mp3 players that give you less space, but don’t skimp on quality in their other features. Another thing to look at is design. What are you looking for? How functional is your mp3 player? Once you convert all of songs, you will need to setup and manage your playlist so that you can get easy access to your songs later on. When you look at an mp3 player, look menu buttons and design to see if it is intuitive and user friendly.
