Most traders are wired to trade a certain way. Everything is a “breakout” to them whether it occurs on a weekly chart or a one minute chart. That poor wiring for most people is why so many people lose trading or investing in the market. Understanding that the price action that occurs is usually the reverse of how people are wired is important. This podcast goes into several broad general topics about understanding the bigger picture of price action.

While I have done an awful lot of podcasts, none are directly titled about psychology. This one says “More on Trading Psychology” because it has been mentioned in many prior podcasts as it is obviously a large topic, and rightfully should be, for many traders. However, for many traders, they don’t have the right to even claim psychology because they are not at a level where psychological issues can even affect them yet, but yet they will blame psychology and never focus on the real problem. When you get to the level where psychology may matter, there are a few key things that may help you and that’s what this podcast is about.

This is a very timely discussion I think most of you will appreciate. It discusses several things including the different ways that traders can handle an extended bull market or when it transitions to pull back or a bear market. It discusses the psychological problems traders often have that can end up causing huge losses, and how to potentially deal with them.

This is a higher-level discussion that you all may not relate to. If you are new, you may simply tune out as it seems like a bit of an abstract discussion. But for many of you who have been involved in the markets, you may find it refreshing and may learn something from the conversation. It’s an in-depth discussion about what is really at the heart of making money and some of the names that we commonly use. Methods, systems, strategies. What is it that defines exactly what a good trade is?

When your hairstylist is buying Tesla. Is that part of technical analysis? My first for podcasts I discussed why about 6% of the world does not even need to listen to these podcasts, why fundamentals and news will never directly make you a penny, and then wrapped it up on the next podcast by talking about how you make money with technical analysis. I wanted to follow-up with some more concepts just in simple English about why technical analysis is so phenomenal. And why it is maybe a little misunderstood. Like everything I try to teach, I believe that I will not just give you my opinion, but rather prove it to you.

I have mentioned these two words in at least one or two other prior podcasts. I received a couple questions about what exactly I mean when I use these words in trading, and this is definitely worthy of an entire topic. Naturally the words in English are fairly easy to define and understand, and yes that is the general meeting that they have been trading. But specific examples can show you how they can be confusing and harmful to your trading. Tune in for more.

This is actually a great topic. Yes, this is episode 54, and I’m still calling things great topics as if they should’ve been the first thing you heard. There is such tremendous misconception about the skills needed to trade/invest for yourself that it leads to two issues. Some people who try to be geniuses and focus on the wrong things, and people who simply just don’t try because they figure they don’t have the ability to make money in the market.

Note for the faint of heart… A quick word if you are very new. When a trader takes a trade, that trader will always (should always) have a point at which they feel the trade is no longer working and therefore have to exit. This protects the account so that you don’t take your account down to zero hanging onto garbage. That level at which you exit is called your stop. You can stop out of the trade by sitting there and hitting a button or you can stop out by putting an automatic stop in your trading platform so it will exit you from the position even if you are not there. This discussion is an ultra-advanced talk about using stops and be sure you listen to the introductory comments. If you have been around for a while, this may not be what you expect.
