There is an entire category of comments you’re not likely to ever hear when you’re learning to trade. That is because they are unsavory and not things a lot of people like to talk about. That’s exactly why they can be the most helpful comments. I discuss these all the time. I have a fairly long list I will discuss in this podcast. It includes things like, as one example, dealing with losing trades, not just from a technical analysis perspective, that’s easy, but rather from a psychological perspective.

Some recent events and a new DTS Question of the Week email sparked several comments and questions that generated this podcast topic. I don’t want to describe it too much or I may ruin the effect of this podcast. I do want to add that perhaps I didn’t and with the correct concluding line. If it isn’t obvious, the conclusion is simply this. If you follow these misperceptions, it is a factual certainty that you will lose money.

While it is not normally the case, this podcast is a takeoff from an hour-long live DTS Educational Event I did last week. The reason I’m doing that is because this is what seems to be a very hot topic. Everyone has tons of questions about how these technologies may or may not affect traders, whether they are long-term or short-term, and whether there’s any way to benefit from them. Also this topic is one that is near and dear to my heart in terms of what I teach so deserves some special attention.

This episode touches on the importance of understanding market pullbacks/corrections/all-out crashes even though the market is up the majority of time both pricewise and timewise. It discusses the truth about why markets crash and there can be no argument about what the truth is about market crashes. There’s also a fun discussion about the relationship between the market and Ponzi schemes although that is more of a theoretical talk then it is helpful to your trading.

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?
