- Seeing an opportunity and acting upon it are two different things.
• Price has memory. Odds are what price did the last time it hit a certain level will be repeated . . . (BR: Until support or resistance fails).
• Pay attention to price action, regardless of what the charts are saying.
• Look for a reversal at the same place you’re expecting a breakout or breakdown.
• Price action sets up against the majority; the best profits are often in the opposite direction of the way you’re planning to go.
• Add to your winners and cut your losers. ’nuff said.
• Opportunities come along all of the time. Wait for the best ones.
• Don’t overly anticipate or see things that aren’t there. Wait for your signals.
• The day isn’t over until the closing bell ring. The way it ends may be vastly different from how it begins.
• Your first job isn’t to make money. It’s to protect capital.
• Don’t rush to buy the lowest price or sell the highest price; It could get much lower or much higher before turning around.
• Most profits come during a few days each month. Play a waiting game the rest of the time.
• Traders lose the most money on the same days the market offers the greatest profits.
• Place yourself ahead of, behind or opposite other traders. The one place you don’t want to be is in the middle of the crowd.
• Read the charts with one eye on where the whales will act. These are the pivot points where the broad market will rally or sell off.
• Traders tend to be early rather than late into positions. Their fear of missing the move overwhelms their fear of being wrong.
• You lose money when you trade what you believe instead of what you see.
• Trade triggers, not patterns. The trigger is a perfect alignment of price and time.
• A nervous stomach gets in the way of short sales. Short-sellers see bull markets in every bounce and give up good trades to avoid getting trampled.
• Tiny pieces of the market puzzle reveal the big picture. Keep a diary of isolated observations because they pay off in time.
• Throw money at the market after an extended break. The action gets you in synch faster than sitting around and trying to figure out what you missed.
• The crowd gets excited about the long side when it’s time to sell short, and excited about the short side when it’s time to go long.
• Price moves along the path of least resistance.
• It’s a lot harder to follow your rules when things get really crazy.
• Whales portray themselves as smart money, but they are as confused as everyone else.
Very Interesting perspective and really helpful for someone who is otherwise oblivious to stock trading.
Traders tend to be early rather than late into positions. Their fear of missing the move overwhelms their fear of being wrong….This apptly applies to me.Recovering from this phobia…
Dear Sir,
As usual good thought process shared. After reading queries of blog followers , or to understand the daily analysis of yours, I think followers need to attend your training course.
This I am confirming after attending your training course.
Small query bramesh ji : Pay attention to price action, regardless of what the charts are saying.
Charts itself depicts price action… so how to identify the difference between these two.
Charts you might include indicator which might confuse you.
What i meant was only chart nothing else.
