Learn Stock Trading From Playing Poker

Picking good stocks is only the first step to become a consistently profitable trader. Those of you that track the performances of stock picks I post on http://www.cisiova.com/analysis.asp know that it is impossible to determine if a stock is good without a good exiting strategy. And for most traders, exit strategy is the hardest part. Many people say that to trade profitably you need to develop the right mentality. Unfortunately, such winning mentality can only be developed through experience. However, there is a short cut to get through the learning curve without throwing thousands of dollars in the process. This short cut is playing POKER.

Dealing With Market Corrections: Ten Do’s and Don'ts

A correction is a beautiful thing, simply the flip side of a rally, big or small. Theoretically, even technically I'm told, corrections adjust equity prices to their actual value or “support levels”. In reality, it’s much easier than that. Prices go down because of speculator reactions to expectations of news, speculator reactions to actual news, and investor profit taking. The two former "becauses" are more potent than ever before because there is more "self directed" money out there than ever before. And therein lies the core of correctional beauty! Mutual Fund unit holders rarely take profits but often take losses. Opportunities abound!

Five Steps to Trading for a Living

For the past five years my sole source of income has been profits made from trading on the forex market. Over that time period, many people, perhaps somewhat envious of my ability to earn money from home without having to report to a boss, have asked me what it takes to trade for a living. How can one arrive at a point where one feels confident enough to leave ones regular employment, strike off on ones own with no guarantee of a regular paycheck, and put what might conceivably be ones entire savings up to that point at risk in the markets?

How do you Maximise your Profits in Any Trade on the Stock Market?

In trading the stock market, no-one has a crystal ball. The price of stocks can go down, as well as up. What is needed is an exit strategy that will enable you to survive the bad stocks, and make a good profit on the good stocks.

The method that I have found to work the best is a trailing stop loss. For those who don’t know what a stop loss is, I shall explain briefly. A stop loss is an order for your stock broker to sell your shares if the price dips to the level that you have specified.

There are two ways of doing this. The simplest method is to decide on how much you are willing to lose as a percentage of your investment. A good rule is not to go less than 10%. Work out the price of the stock at this level and set that as your stop loss. As the price of the stock increases, keep moving the level of the stop up to keep the percentage gap the same. Some brokers offer a trailing stop loss service, where you tell them what percentage to set the loss at and they do it for you.

How to Automate Your Trading Profits?

As an entrepreneur, you will find this information useful. For the first time, there is a way to trade forex as a professional trader even when you don't have any background or experience in trading Forex at all. A Goldman Sachs' former Quantitative Analyst has revealed his secret automated trading system that helps people who really want to step in the world of Forex trading and start making some profits out of it but are afraid of learning complicated Technical Analysis or reading Forex chart.

Normally, to be able to trade Forex, one must spend at least 3-6 months to learn about Forex basics, reading Forex charts, using technical indicators to determine buy/sell/exit signals. Even learning so many things like that still can not guarantee profits because trading is ruthless, no one can predict the market. The only way to be profitable is to identify the trends and ride the trends to maximum. Only a few elite individual traders can do that! The fact is 95% of traders lose their money! (And the winners are always the big 'sharks' banks or financial institutes which have thousand of brightest brains working for them and many complicated trading systems that run on power of thousands of super computers).

However, there are still chances for small investors/traders if they are equipped with the right trading systems with good enter/exit strategies, stable money management methods... Forex Autopilot System is among those systems. It was designed to run on autopilot, just plug-and-play, to bring in profits. It is actually an Expert Advisor that runs on the platform of MetaTrader4( which is the most popular free-to-download trading platform in the industry). It is easy to install and run. It requires less than 20 minutes to monitor. That helps traders to have more free time (not sitting glued in front of computer anymore). It can work in any country, at any time.

Mark Copeland, the creator of Forex Autopilot System, does not make any outrageous claims about his system. He understands that Forex trading involves risk, and sometimes software and machines are not as accurate in making decisions as human beings. Therefore, from his experience and knowledge of working as a senior Quantitative Analyst in a big investment bank like Goldman Sachs, he only claimed that his system can make 5-25% return per month.

So, if you think you have tried everything in forex trading and you never get to the profitable status you wish, Forex Autopilot System should be in your consideration. It can have a direct impact on what you think you can achieve in Forex Trading. In the case you have no idea about Forex trading but still look for opportunities to make money from home, this system also might be able to help you because the system includes a software and a comprehensive guide about how to use the software. Given that you have no experience with MetaTrader or Expert Advisor, just read the short guide and you also can start trading with the system.

How Risky is Stocks And Other Relative Investments?

Just as the saying goes, we live in a risky world. Almost everything we do involves some degree of risk. Generally, to invest is to risk... since one is not certain about the outcome of the investment.

According to Wikipedia, investment or investing is a term with several closely-related meanings in business management, finance and economics, related to saving or deferring consumption. An asset is usually purchased, or equivalently a deposit is made in a bank, in hopes of getting a future return or interest from it.

Today, many don't like to hear the word investment merely because it involves risks. Apparently, to invest is to risk; but we should not because of the risk avoid investing.

Insight Into Trading - What Percentage Of Your Trades Are Winners?

An Inquiry into Trading Systems, Money Management and the Human Psyche

At a recent seminar, I got involved in an interesting discussion with other attendees centered on trading success. More specifically, the percentage of successful trades and the percent of accuracy you should realistically expect from trading.

For whatever reason, our minds tend to focus on accuracy as the primary way of evaluating a speculative endeavor. True to form, accuracy - our mental magnet of making money - has very little to do with finding success.
