Trading Strategy Tips

  • If you are in a prolonged drawdown you should consider reducing position sizes to make it psychologically easier to continue taking all the signals generated by your trading strategy. 
  • To be a successful trader you need to turn off all the noise (ie CNBC) as it will pull you in too many different directions and make it harder to trust your strategy.

Most traders are not successful because they don't stay objectively focused or they lack the necessary confidence to execute their trades properly.  Trading in The Zone teaches traders to think in terms of probabilities and that they should tune out the market noise and focus on consistently executing their trading strategy.

Excellent Product...Sequencing your thinking

"Excellent. I found the best features were a reminder to think globally. Start with the big picture. ( the overall markets) Search for sector strength. Look for the strongest stocks within a strong sector . Watch for volume and price characteristics ( Volume contraction patterns and stage 2 breakouts at a pivot point) Document your trades and see how your risk and reward results play out for you. Cut losses at 8% or if below the 50 d MA. Rinse and repeat." - Charles V.
