Many people talk about the wonders of trading and how it can best be approached,
but knowing how to establish and recognize your entry signals can mean a lot in setting the correct path to trading. Therefore, a simple introduction to trading must be done.
The first goal in trading is for profit, since the penultimate goal for it is to sell for a profit. But take notice that trading is like gambling, where one cannot ascertain or know what exact market forces are at work and what it can ultimately do to determine your trading choices.
Self determination is another key to your trading success. No one will show you what to do next, you have to determine that for yourself, particularly since there are no fixed and definate guidelines for this career.
Other people may tell you what to do, and they could be correct for a little while, but please try to consider that the market goes up and down, and trading is about watching the market, evaluating it, and taking action on your own.
Understand and manage your opportunities and risks.
All those people snatching up opportunities mean that the really great ones go away.
The indiscriminate opportunity that will eventually pop up in a trader’s life is a change in supply. Something has broken off the normal process of supply and demand, substantially raising the price...and this is a fleeting chance.
Others will also be chasing these opportunities the same as you do. These may be the regular suppliers, those with excess stock, or another trader with a source elsewhere.
Wisely judge the risk and make your move.
Scamming is a job for some, so always be wary of people offering cutthroat deals or attractive offers. Completely read the conditions of a contract, count zeros, and just be aware of every possible fine print on documents before signing.
Gambling to win means not letting the house make the rules. The difference between dumb luck and success lies in the amount of risk managed. Sometimes you could get a lucky break and at other times not, so risk analysis and management lie at the center of any process that can be termed reliable.
Obstacles happen, and this is a risk in trading, where there are damages and losses. Play at the stakes and risk levels you can handle, don’t show your hand and have nothing left to pick up on. Make every attempt to know the market. This will help a lot in figuring out how you could establish the ins and outs of the market you are in.
Every trader needs to know his territory and the item markets he is interested in.
Trading is a world of compound interest, challenges and opportunities. You can invest in buying and selling more items in a single item market, you can pick up when you felt there is a slack on one item, or you can diversify into other types of items.
The nature of the market is purposeful chaos. This is because the market is the aggregate actions of thousands of people, therefore it cannot be trusted. It will change on you at the flick of a finger, void plans, wipe out profits, render prior knowledge obsolete or even render you penniless if you don’t play your cards right. Patterns change, so don’t just rely on it completely. As what the previous point indicates, one day it could be beneficial for you, but that can change the next day, even the next hour or so. So this is a simple introduction to a trading mindset and this can help you on your way to more profitable gains and planned risks.
