Why Do Traders Really Lose Money? Answer: It's Not the Market's Fault / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: EWI
And 1 FREE course on how to help you stop self-sabotaging "good enough" trade plans
I have always been a "who cares about the odds" kinda person. Meaning, if someone tells me the likelihood of succeeding at, say, learning to skateboard at 40, are low, it just makes me want to try it more. Otherwise, why would I say yes to a marriage proposal to someone I met online, who lives in a farm in rural Georgia, 3 months into us dating amidst a global pandemic?
If you believe Wall Street's statistics about the odds of success as a trader, yet still choose to speculate in the financial markets anyway, a part of you must be of that same "odds-schmods" mindset. Because according to the mainstream experts, the probability of traders losing money in the long run is between an abysmal 85% and 95%.

What type of trader or investor are you? / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Trading and investing are much more complex and challenging than most people think. While countless books have been written about how to trade and invest, most skip over what I consider to be the foundation and most important area – You!
The Brutal Truth
The financial markets are driven by fear and greed. Most individuals find this costly as they get sucked into large news-driven moves in the market that often quickly reverse direction. Or they fall in love with a stock or commodity and decide they can’t sell even when it’s pulling their entire account balance down, causing serious financial harm.

What Don’t They Tell You About Online Trading? / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Sumeet_Manhas
Traders come in all shapes and sizes, but we can narrow it down to two types. There are risk takers and those who play it safe. By definition, trading is a risky undertaking. It always has been. Despite our best efforts, it’s impossible to predict the direction and magnitude of price movements at any time. We use a variety of trading tools and resources to gauge the performance of the markets. These include technical and fundamental analysis.
By and large, trading platforms sell the hype with lofty promises of significant returns and comfortable retirements. Regardless, there are no guarantees. Stakeholders in the financial markets – particularly those with something to gain from unsuspecting traders and investors, are single-minded. They want to generate as much profit as possible in double-quick time. Hence the presence of fraudsters, shell companies, and less than honest financial reporting.

Stock Maket Trading Lesson - How to REALLY Trade Markets / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Stock Market Conclusion
Stock market correction so far has been fairly mild with the tech stocks not reaching levels to offer enough of a discount to justify exposure to in the face of the coming inflation storm. Whilst October is not done with yet i.e. we could yet see a final leg down, especially given the potential for earnings surprises form the tech giants due over the next 10 days.. However with each passing day such an outcome diminishes, thus the stock market appears to be gearing up for another run to new all time highs which given the mild correction so far suggests that the Dow could trade nearer to 40k, than 37k by the end of this year.
However, my outlook for 2022 sees worsening conditions that will see transitory inflation become permanent, so there is going to come a time when investors will do the math of what high inflation means for future corporate earnings, i.e. lower earnings due to rising costs and less disposable incomes. Hence it remains highly probable that most stocks will trade to below their October 2021 lows during 2022.

How To Spot The End Of An Excess Market Trend Phase – Part II / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Chris_Vermeulen
In Part I of this research article, my research team and I highlighted the five unique components of an Excess Phase peak and breakdown process. We are sharing this data with you because we believe the US stock market has already meandered 2.5 years past the end of a US Stock Market Appreciation phase and is well into an Excess Phase Peaking process. This becomes very important for traders because risks are much higher in these late Excess Phase stages because volatility is usually 4x to 6x higher than previous phases. Additionally, psychologically, many traders want the rally to continue and deeply believe the end of this phase is “just a pullback in a bigger trend”. This can be very dangerous as traders sometimes continue to buy into deeper price corrections – leveraging their accounts to the hilt thinking “they are going to make a killing when the rally resumes”.

How To Spot The End Of An Excess Market Trend Phase / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Chris_Vermeulen
If you have been following my team’s research posts recently, we have highlighted some interesting new research related to Appreciation/Depreciation phases in the US stock market and how that relates to Gold. Today we will explore another method of identifying the different phases of market trends that appears to show very clear Appreciation/Depreciation phases and extended end-phase blow-off tops and bottoms.
My research team and I believe the current rally in the US stock markets represents an end-phase blow-off top after a 9.5-year Appreciation phase that began in mid-2009. We believe it is very important for traders to understand these larger Appreciation/Depreciation cycles and how the Blow-Off end phases often create extreme volatility and price rotation.

Day trading is an act where you buy and sell financial instruments on the same day. You can also decide to trade multiple times during the course of the day. In the day trading, investors take advantage of the small prices, and results can be lucrative after playing correctly. However, this is a dangerous game, especially for those who are not familiar or inexperienced investors. It is a threat to an investor who utilizes it without having a well-thought strategy.
Day trading does not suit all brokers. But some brokers are designed to have day trade in their mind such as day-traders.net that accommodates investors who want to day trade.

One positive development to come out of the 2020 pandemic is a widespread desire for financial independence. It's led everyone from retirees to Generation Z's to consider stock trading as a "cushion" against job uncertainty.
That's the good news! The bad news is, much of this new investment craze is being fueled by emotions and endorphins (hey -- all new traders have them!) rather than objective criteria. One leading economist coined the term "day-trading pandemic" in June to describe the "legions of participants pouring money into stocks without a care for the risks involved." (June 17 MarketWatch)
An August 11 NPR report confirmed the "addictive," "playing-with-fire" nature of this wave of new investing interest, in which first-time traders use free apps to impulsively jump into popular markets -- sometimes, only to meet ruinous ends.

This article will most likely open your eyes and see a side of trading you usually don’t think about or possibly don’t understand, even though it is critical for your long term success as a trader and investor.
Not many people talk about trading risks and for a good reason. It’s not that exciting to most, and its a real sobering topic because its the reality of trading: trading is risky, and that you need to know how to manage risk appropriately and we don’t know how to do this. Most of us are generally too lazy to want to learn dry/boring subjects, especially when we don’t know much about them in the first place, and I’m guilty of this as well.
I urge you to take 4 minutes and read this trading risks explained in laymen terms below. At worst is a good refresher and will make you look at your current positions and see all your capital carries the same risk and if you are positioned for steady growth or potential account implosion if the asset class moves against you.

This pattern sets up fairly often and the key to understanding this pattern and where these trades present real opportunity is in understanding the price dynamics behind these extensions. There are many instances where a Fibonacci price extension level will fail to promote a price bounce or rebound – and the price will just keep trending higher or lower past the extension level.

The Real Secrets for Successful Trading / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Nadeem_Walayat
This is the second article in my Learn to Trade series on how to successfully interpret and trade the financial markets, most of which is exclusive to Patrons.
For the past 10 years I have wanted to write a book on the real secrets for successful trading but never found the time to get around to doing so. However, I have alluded to where the primary secret lies many times over the years. The most notable of which is suggesting those wanting to learn the real secret for successful trading should watch the early 1980's film Excalibur, for the seed for their own light bulb moment.

Why 90% of Traders Lose / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The failure rate for financial market and commodity traders has remained at a consistently high 90% for many decades, this despite all of the advances in information technology, flood of new learning materials that is churned out annually, therefore why is it that 90% of traders still end up losing?
In my opinion, a high 90% of traders are destined to lose because they are in fact listening to those 90% of failed traders who proceeded them that went on to comprise what is trading markets sales industry, perpetually churning out a never ending stream of materials, methods and signal services of how to trade, that invariably don't pan out in reality.
Then there is the commentariat, again 90% of which comprises failed traders. Who may have tried to trade but failed so have gone on to become market reporters, mostly providing rear view mirror in hindsight market commentary, or so vague in outlook that all eventualities are covered as they hope to become the next big media stars, appearing on the likes of CNBC so as to turn failure to trade into full time media careers and thus perpetuate a continuous cycle of failing traders guiding new traders towards a similar fate.

How Fractional Shares Benefit Investors / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Sumeet_Manhas
Have you ever wondered what you would do with the small balance on your gift balance because there is nothing you can afford and buy with it? A similar issue is experienced when buying investments like stocks and ETF in whole share quantities. Fractional shares give investors flexibility in two main areas; to put all the available cash for immediate work and buy fractions of stock in companies with a high price per share.There are sites where you can specify the number of fractional shares you intend to trade. Then, the online calculator helps you determine the number of shares you can actually trade. Shares are whole units which are offered by companies as stock. These stocks are then traded on the open market in full share quantities. Most brokers discourage investors from buying and selling stock in whole share quantities.

Trading Online: How to Find the Best Broker / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
Online trading is a burgeoning global industry. The comfort, convenience, and cost effectiveness of financial trading brokerages has put paid to the institutional systems that governed the industry. Prior to the advent of user-friendly online brokers, traders, investors, and speculators were limited to institutional brokers in their ivory towers.
The age-old model favored the broker and the range of financial instruments that he or she was peddling to traders. In the days of old, traders would call their brokers, requesting them to invest in stocks, commodities, indices, forex, or bonds accordingly. Alternatively, brokers would simply recommend ‘company’ funds which benefited the brokerage enterprise and the broker who was paid a hefty commission.

If you are day trading, a volatile market means you have to spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Most of the time, what you do is spend time looking at market movements and waiting for the right signals to appear.

While most of the articles I write are focused towards the Elliott Wave analysis we practice, there are times that something comes to my attention which almost begs me to write publicly about it. This article is one of those that beg to be written.

Some of the articles I have written warn investors of the evils of using leveraged ETF’s inappropriately, or entering a trade or investment without a plan, or not using stops, etc. As I have said before, after running a trading room with over 3500 members for 6 years, I have certainly seen it all by now.

Ray Dalio’s Principles: A Radically Truthful Review / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade

Spending $26.95 to pick Ray Dalio’s brain for over 16 hours listening to the audiobook appears fantastic value to me. The thought crossed my mind to offer Mr. Dalio a charity donation in his name if he gave me the opportunity to make it a two-way conversation over lunch. But that wouldn’t have been consistent with his (or my) Principles. Instead, I’m offering my radically truthful review for $0. The challenge for Mr. Dalio is whether reading this review will be time well spent.

Trading Markets - When Is A Candle Not A Candle? / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Chris_Drinkwater
When it's a bar? When it's a line drawing? Mountain? A candle is never a candle, it is a representation of a group of people buying and selling. Further to that, you could say it is a representation of thousands of people's hopes and dreams as they try to make this thing called trading work for them.
It seems so obvious when you write it down like this but I don't think the average trader gives it a moment's thought. A candle to them is one in a series that makes a pattern that will ultimately lead them to a buying or selling decision. Ignore the truth of what the candle represents at your peril.

Market Traders and Trendlines: A Match Made in Opportunity Heaven / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: EWI
See why this simple tool helps identify high-probability trade set-ups in real world markets
It's the start of the winter holidays -- which, if your family is anything like mine, is also the beginning of a long tradition of deeply regrettable line-crossing, i.e.:
- Crossing that line into interrogating "new" dinner guests as to why they are still single
- Crossing that line into inviting your recently divorced sister-in-law to "stay as long as" she needs
- Crossing that line into a third (no, let's be honest) fourth helping of pecan pie

Does Market Timing Work? / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Sol_Palha
Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile... initially scared me to death. ~ Betty Bender
Many individuals and experts state that market timing is impossible. The answer to this question is yes and no. We all know there are seasons in a year and we know roughly when winter, summer, fall, and spring will begin. No one can predict the exact time the one season will transition into the next. The same rationale applies to market timing. If you are trying to predict the exact market turning points, then you might get it right once or twice, but overall your record will be dismal, it is an exercise in futility for the most part and best reserved for those who seem to have a deep desire to take on large losses. Market timing is like waiting for a change in the season.

The "How to Get Rich" Lesson I Learned on the Trading Floor in Chicago / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: ...
MoneyMorning.com Back in 1982, I was a clerk for a big market maker on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). A year later, I was sitting on the exchange and running a hedge fund.
My first day of trading was a disaster. But it's where I learned how to get rich.
You see, there was a "fast market" in FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), which means the pit was crowded with traders yelling and screaming, buying and selling options based on an unexpectedly positive earnings report that had just come out. I rushed into the crowd and amassed a position.

Shame - A Powerful motivator for Traders / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: John_Mauldin
Shame is a powerful motivator. Especially in this business.
When I was an ETF trader, if a client came in to trade a few hundred thousand shares of an ETF and the price moved abruptly against him right after the trade was consummated, the client would request a price improvement. This was to prevent embarrassment when the client (an execution trader) reported the fill to his boss (the portfolio manager).

The Mythical Magical Bullish Rising Wedge Technical Chart Pattern / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade

In today’s Chartology Report I would like to clear up a misconception about rising wedges and flags. I have gotten more negative e mails from folks that assure me there is no such thing as a bullish rising wedge or flag. I’m repeatedly told to go back to charting school to learn my lesson. These type patterns are missed by 95% of chartists because they supposedly don’t exits and if they do exist they can’t be trusted. Keeping an open mind in the stock markets is the first lesson to learn. That means anything is possible regardless of what is taught by the so called experts.

Swing Trading Stocks with the ABC Gap Fill / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade

Technical Analysis - ‘Linear Weighted Moving Average’ (LWMA) / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade

Marcus Holland writes: The LWMA is a technical indicator which responds faster than the ‘Simple Moving Average’ (SMA) to new price developments because its latest readings are emphasized more than its older ones. However, the LWMA is not as popular as the (SMA) and the ‘Exponential Moving Average’ (EMA). The LWMA was designed to counter the lagging problems identified with the SMA in a similar way as the EMA.

Learning to spot the pullback during this seminal event period and pouncing is crucial to making big money in the market.

Trading The ABC Sentiment Shifts Ahead Of The Crowd / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: David_Banister
One of the most obvious keys to successful trading or investing is buying low and selling high. The problem being if it was that easy to pinpoint those low and high points then all traders would be batting 1000%. What we use at my ATP service is a combination of fundamental analysis and catalyst spotting inter-twined with charting techniques. Most of our work revolves around buying substantial dips in a strong stock, 3x ETF’s, or reversal patterns. 3x ETF’s are great for short term swings as they function almost exclusively on crowd behavioral patterns, but it also applies to individual stocks.

If you've ever considered a major medical procedure, you likely know the importance of a second opinion. Even if your doctor or specialist is experienced and strongly recommends a certain course of action, it's still risky to make a critical health decision based on one person's view.
Likewise in trading: One solitary piece of technical evidence rarely provides enough information to make a trading decision. According to Elliott Wave Junctures editor Jeffrey Kennedy, it is best to get a second (or third, or fourth) opinion from supporting indicators before you commit to a trade.

We compared three approaches to dividend investing. In one scenario, we relied only on fundamental data and the consensus street analyst recommendation. In a second scenario, we required at least one bullish technical indicator. In a third scenario, we required at least two technical indicators to have some confirmation of the technical condition. The combination of fundamentals and two bullish indicators was a hands down winner for both total return over five years, and for avoidance of the 2008 market crash.

What To Do When The Stock Market Opens Big In One Direction / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade

As a rule of thumb, anytime a market opens big in either direction, NEVER take a trade in the opening direction of the market when you have a big opening move. The big move already occurred. Just think if you would have shorted MNST and AAPL and a lot of others out there at the open today — OUCH. The flip side is don’t react and sell either right away. Have you seen what just about everything has done since the open? Bounced that’s what. Let the opening dust settle first and above all NEVER REACT.Read full article... Read full article...

Market Manipulation Is Not Why Most Traders Lose / Interest-Rates / Learn to Trade

How often have you heard analysts refer to a down day on Wall Street as "traders taking profits"? Sounds great, but the sobering fact is that most traders -- in futures, commodities, or forex -- lose money.
Any book on trading will list for you the many reasons why most traders lose. Yet some traders do win; some even set records. In 1984, Elliott Wave International's founder and president Robert Prechter won the U.S. Trading Championship, setting a new all-time profit record of 444.4% in a monitored real-money options account. Later in his monthly Elliott Wave Theorist, Prechter published a Special Report "What A Trader Really Needs To Be Successful" with 5 important insights for would-be market speculators (including the explanation of why "market manipulation" is not why most traders lose.)

In Defense of Flash Trading / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: MISES
It's fascinating to watch footage of a trading floor on Wall Street. Here men and women spend hours with their eyes glued to computer monitors while furiously calculating trades that often yield small profits or minimal losses. In the case of Swiss bank UBS trader Kweku Adoboli, it can result in a $2 billion loss and an unfortunate incarceration. The risks run high as trading requires a sizeable amount of dexterity and concentration to be successful in a network of like-minded profit seekers. Still, there is an underlying beauty to the process, as thousands (perhaps millions) of individuals coordinate their knowledge on the allocation of limited resources throughout the world.

The 4x1 Forex Trading Strategy in a Nutshell / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Submissions
Victor Chan Wai-To writes: It is better to teach a man to fish, than to give him a fish everyday. It is better to teach you one principle that you can understand, than to show you a hundred techniques that you don't know how to apply. Therefore, a great instructional writing does not just lay out the methods, but also an intelligence framework with which you can make the methods you own. In my opinion, the bestseller forex e-book, Bird Watching in Lion Country - Forex Trading Explained, is exactly that kind of material that will help you to be a better trader. Unfortunately, the book is pretty thick so it requires quite some time to digest. Fortunately, here is an alternative: I have summarised the core ideas of the book in one article, and it won't take you ten minutes to capture the very principle to trade currencies successfully.

Successful Day Trading Brief / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade

Judging from the contents of an increasing number of emails more and more investors are choosing to "actively" trade the market rather than simply "buy and hold" it. In the main, this is due to the fact that in a bear market the latter strategy creates losses that are difficult to accept long term. However another reason is that with limited business opportunity available investors are seeking "income" rather than capital gain from their investments.
Accordingly I set out below some parameters to help these new "traders" avoid the worse pitfalls and hopefully guide them towards the mindset required for long term success.

Every trader and investor I know would love to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. The reality is that this is not a winning solution, nor is it possible to do this on a consistent basis.
What we look for at MarketClub is to catch the sweet spot of the trend. The sweet spot is the 70% to 80% that's in the middle of a trend.

This type of trading setup works for virtually every investment but I mainly focus on trading: Gold Futures, Gold ETFs, Gold CFD’s, and the SP500 & Dow 30 futures, ETF’s and CFD’s as I find they are very accurate and profitable.

Wisdom is meaningless until your own experience has given it meaning and there is wisdom in the selection of wisdom – BERGEN EVANS Author and Professor
Those of you that follow this blog know that I am a big fan of a definitive trading plan. Having a plan however, does not equate to success, there are still limitations. One limitation is the small account. Unfortunately, the small account has many more obstacles to overcome to be successful than the large account. Let’s take a look at why that is the case.

Research in Commodity Trading / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Andrew_Abraham
There are those in the camp that successful commodity trading can be achieved from research. Honestly I am in the camp of being a trend follower…having no opinions..and simply reacting to price with a strong focus on risk. The approach of trend following is not looked upon as favorably as one who looks at the fundamentals and spends countless hours researching. A simple question however… even after the research…who says the researcher is right…or if the trade will work? I would tend to believe 50/50 however many disagree ( I guess this is what makes a market…we all can’t agree).

Really…how do I count the ways… ( I believe I have seen them all…as well as all of them that I made in my career)? However I believe the greatest mistake in life is to give up… Possibly the greatest mistake in commodity trading is to give up. In all reality…Commodity trading is the hardest ..yet easiest thing to do. I have seen countless commodity traders give up during a draw down. I have heard the markets changed…the system does not work any more…or simply…I am tired of losing money.

Randomness of Commodity Trading Advisors Returns / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Andrew_Abraham
The reality is there exists a great deal of correlation between trend following commodity trading advisors… But there are always a difference in their returns…Many times because I have managed accounts I see a great overlap. It seems virtually every commodity trading advisor had the sugar trade. The sugar trade was a perfect setup. It was a low volatile period and for whatever reason sugar went upwards. The same can be argued for so many commodity trading advisors were short the US dollar.

Wheres Does the Money Sit When Commodity Trading? / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Andrew_Abraham
Too many investors forget to ask this very important question when trading commodities. In many cases commodity traders leave money in segregated accounts at their Futures commission merchant. As well there are cash management companies. In order to survive in these trying times …using the words of Andy Grove… ” The Paranoid Survive”. I am paranoid…in my trading with my partners in our commodity pool…as well as I am paranoid when I allocate to other commodity trading advisors. As Nissim Taleb has brought out in his book…Fooled by randomness anything can happen and for that fact I prepare for it.

Stock Market Timing / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Guy_Lerner
Everyone tries to time the market to some degree. Just the acts of buying and selling are exercises in market timing. We want the best price, and I don't know anyone who can argue with that. We all want to buy low and sell high, and we all want to do it over and over again. The problem is that, like hitting a baseball, market timing is not a feat that can be done by everybody, and even the best must accept that they won't be successful most of the time.

Have you ever noticed that all the Wall Street firms are within pennies of each other when forecasting earnings? Have you ever noticed that they are all wrong (and occasionally right) at the same time? I doubt seriously if this is coincidence. It is more likely, that because they spend a lot of time speaking with each other, and reading the same numbers, they come to the same conclusions. It’s a variation on the old “circular argument” in philosophy.

In Commodity trading there are countless answers that need to be answered. The good news…is you get to decide…the bad news is that most commodity traders, stock traders or even forex traders never think of all the questions they need to answer and do not develop a trading plan. If you truly want to succeed in commodity trading you need to develop your trading plan…or you have another choice…look to invest with a commodity trading advisor in which you understand his/her methodology and how they approach risk.

Zen Lessons in Market Analysis, Trading and Forecasts / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: John_Mauldin
"Everything, including the market, is ultimately empty of a separate self. One market can only be understood and analyzed in the context of other markets and conditions. Supply and demand, in particular, should not be considered in isolation."
Long time Outside the Box readers are quite familiar with Dr. John Hussman, as he is a frequent choice for this column. But this week I think he has written one of his bests essays ever. He cleverly weaves in quotes from a Zen master who is his friend and gives us a very fresh look at market analysis. This is a thought piece and you should set aside some time to absorb the lessons. You will be well rewarded.

Why System Trading Is Ultimately Discretionary / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade

Successful system trading, in spite of the financial rewards, can be frustrating. A quantified mechanical model will take many decisions off the table. Yet, various issues, particularly the psychological approach to the issues, will always be in play.
Ed Seykota in the book, “Market Wizards,” writes, “Systems trading is ultimately discretionary. The manager still has to decide how much risk to accept, which markets to play, and how aggressively to increase the trading base as a function of equity change. These decisions are quite important, often more important than trade timing.&

Successful Financial Markets Day Trading Brief / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Christopher_Quigley
Judging from the contents of an increasing number of emails more and more investors are choosing to "actively" trade the market rather than "buy and hold." In the main, this is due to the fact that in a bear market the latter strategy creates losses that are difficult to accept long term. However another reason is that with limited business opportunity available investors are seeking "income" rather than capital gain from their investments.

Trading Doctor- The Danger of Overconfidence / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Dr_Janice_Dorn
There are two kinds of people that lose money: those that know nothing and those that know everything. With two Nobel Prize winners in the house, Long Term Capital Management fits the second case…R. Lenzner, Forbes Magazine, October 19, 1998
Once upon a time there was a secretive hedge fund called Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM). Over a period of four years—from 1994-1998 this hedge fund returned approximately 40% per year. Then, in 1998, the LTCM portfolio dropped from US$100 billion to US$600 million. In order to avoid a potential market crash the U.S. Federal Reserve organized a consortium of investment banks to take over LTCM's positions in various financial instruments. The failure of LTCM is a cautionary tale about hubris, arrogance, overconfidence and the limits of modern financial theory.

Stock and Bond Market Trading Powers Modern Portfolio Asset Allocation / Portfolio / Learn to Trade
By: Steve_Selengut
For most individual investors, trading is approached in a totally speculative manner. Stock trading, in its more popular forms (Day Trading, Swing Trading, etc.) includes none of the elements that a conservative investment strategy would contain: little if any attention is given to the Quality of the equities selected; Diversification is determined by chance alone; no attempt is made to develop an increasing and dependable stream of Income. But stock trading by individual investors doesn't deserve quite as bad a "rep" as it has earned. After all, its very foundation is profit taking, probably the most important and most often neglected of the activities required for successful investment management. Unfortunately for most equity traders, loss taking is a more common occurrence. Read full article... Read full article...

Working Paper Synopsis: The Search for the Beta of Commodity Futures / Commodities / Learn to Trade
By: Mack_Frankfurter
In comparing modern finance with behavioral finance, Dr. George M. Frankfurter, Lloyd F. Collette Professor Emeritus Louisiana State University, and Dr. Elton G. McGoun, Professor of Finance Bucknell University, in their article “ Resistance is Futile: The Assimilation of Behavioral Finance, ” [1] make the following astute observation which can similarly be applied to our analysis of the various commodity asset pricing models we investigated: “What has happened is that we've used these assumptions for so long that we've forgotten that we've merely made assumptions, and we've come to believe that the world is necessarily this way.” Likewise, our working paper, “ Is Managed Futures an Asset Class? The Search for the Beta of Commodity Futures ,” suggests that the models we examined have inherent shortcomings when analyzing the commodity futures markets. This article summarizes that study which is available at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1029243 .

The Trading Doctor - Why Can't You Execute The Trade? / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade

The mail I am receiving indicates that many of you are having real challenges with execution of trades. In the next week or so, I will go over some critical elements of trade execution, particularly the setting of stops.
However, today is about just taking the trade and why you can't do it.
We live in a culture of instant gratification. We thrive on everything from microwave ovens, fast foods, instant replay, mastery in a minute, one-night stands, a pill to "fix" what ails you, and just about everything else that you see around you which just "lights up" the brain dopamine systems. It's a "faster and faster forward" world in which we all live. Naturally, there is carryover into our trading. Why wouldn't there be?

Learn to Trade Like a Spartan Warrior / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Joseph_Russo
Making a conscious decision to trade financial markets is the same as engaging in battle with the most cunning and merciless of adversaries. It is not only possible, but also essential to engage markets with the skills and instincts of an elite warrior. Odds of success can be insurmountable. In order to prevail, one must be equally cunning. Before committing to battle, it is essential that one is adequately prepared. In this article, we will outline three essential attributes one must acquire prior to engagement.
300 is a 2007 film adaptation of the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller, about the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. In this b attle, an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian Empire army at the pass of Thermopylae in central Greece . Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the Persians for three days in one of history's most famous last stands. As a city-state devoted to military training, Sparta possessed the most formidable army in the Greek world. The Spartan Warriors possessed extraordinary strength, courage, and ingenuity. When brute strength did not suffice, they used their wits to prevail over their adversaries.

Why do 95% of traders lose trading the financial markets? / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Dr_Janice_Dorn
Why do 95% of traders basically wipe out their accounts in the first year? What does it take to be a master trader, to profit on a consistent basis and not burn out in the process?
From 1897 to 1900, 200,000 people started to the Klondike and only 30,000 reached it (1 in 6). Not more than 400 found any gold (1 in 500) and of those only a few managed to keep it (possibly 1 in 5000). It is said that if all the gold that was found (some 4 millions dollars) was divided among everyone that first started the search, each would receive $20.00!
This is not about gold, but the analogies to trading are all too real and familiar.
