In this last article of the series, I am going to look at what's maybe the most serious mistake of all, and yet should be the best to beat.
It is a blindingly plain statement to make I know, but you can't make a profit from the markets if you do not really start trading them. Why do so many potential traders buy the books, prepared the forums, and look at the charts, but never really place a trade? The commonest reasons I hear are these.
Fear "I'm worried I am going to lose to much money". Either way, you have zilch to lose by trying.
Time "I have no time to sit in front of a PC all day learning this stuff". There are stocks and futures markets in each developed country across the world.
With the miracle of the web, we will be able to trade them all.
That implies that when you have some free time, there's a market open somewhere. If you have got a couple of hundred spare greenbacks ( US ), you can start trading. Having mentioned that, never trade with money you can't afford to lose.
I used the simile of an airline pilot in the last article, so lets keep going with that theme here. But with trading, such a short learning curve seems to many to be completely expected. However, unlike lots of other talents, that time to become satisfactorily adept needn't be dear, or at the cost of existing needs.
A difficulty a lot of amateurs I'm employed with have is they begin with a hefty dose of incentive, but when the current gets hard they begin to lose interest. In a regular job, we are usually responsible to somebody.
No Confidence "I don't think I am able to do this, it is not for me". I hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed placing it together.
Here's a really great resource on the theme of charity trading day
