Well, by far, the single hardest thing for unsuccessful traders to overcome is that they just don’t have a full understanding of the market. They are probably trading based on some kind of lagging indicator(s). Their system usually relies on something like “I’ll buy or sell once all these indicators are aligned”. I’m NOT knocking it. I actually used to trade this way. But after taking so many losses, I figured maybe I’m not looking at this the right way.
After all, can you honestly say that you understand what the market is doing when all you are doing is looking at some kind of indicator that is telling you WHAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED? Of course not!!!!
NEWSFLASH: The market could care less what the stochastics are telling you. It serves absolutely no purpose, and I can prove it. It’s real simple. How many successful traders in the world do you know that just look at a stochastics indicator to let them know what the market is doing? I frankly haven’t heard of too many. But if you really study the most famous traders in the world, you’ll know that the majority care about three things: PRICE ACTION PRICE ACTION PRICE ACTION!!!!
When it comes to price action, they might not have used it all in the same way, but I can assure you that price movement was their main criteria. I don’t care if its stocks, bond, the S&P, etc….It simply comes down to what is the price doing, and how can I make money from it. Honestly, there isn’t really that much separating all the successful traders in the world with those that have failed or are failing. It’s not as if these succesful traders are that much brighter than the unsuccessful ones. Most of them didn’t graduate from Harvard with honors. In fact, you’d be surprised to know that many of them barely finished high school.
The rich enjoy trading success simply because they are able to look at a chart and they are able to read and understand what its telling them, much like a book. They understand why a price goes or stops at a certain level. Basically, they can comprehend what it is that they are looking at. Its not just a bunch of colors and sticks on a screen. It means a whole lot more than that. It represents information that can be used to become a full time trader. The closest comparison that I can make is when a person is trying to understand the plays of Shakespeare. The language is English, but its a little hard to follow. But if you can look at it from a different perspective, then the light bulb clicks and once you get it, YOU GOT IT FOREVER. You’ll be quoting Hamlet before you know it.
Its not really difficult. Anybody can understand price action. Its just that most people don’t want to take the time to really understand how to read the energies of the market. Everybody always wants that holy grail or magical indicator that people can just plug into their trading platform and it’ll do all the work for you. Well, it doesn’t work like that. It would be a great if it did, but it doesn’t. I had to learn that the hard way. But, as is life, you live and you learn.
The most difficult part of this, is to get somebody to actually teach you how to visualize the market in this way. It’s quite difficult to learn yourself. If it wasn’t, then we would all be millionaires. The majority of the time you just need someone to guide you so you can understand the information that you need to know, and after that you are home free. This is what Trading in The Buff does. I have purchased other courses before and I have been burned. With so many courses out there, it’s hard to see the differences between the junky courses and the real courses. But I thought I would give this a shot.
After reading the course and watching the videos, something amazing happened: I noticed that all the important information that has been staring at me right in the face. I used to trade with every conceivable indicator know to man. Thankfully with this course, it was the last forex training that I would ever need. I honestly thought that I would be jumping from one course to another for as long as I was a trader, but thanks to this course, I have realized that less is more. In fact, I don’t think you actually can see the market’s energy with your own eyes can you really call yourself a trader.
