Why The Small System Trader Fails / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Charles_Maley
Wisdom is meaningless until your own experience has given it meaning and there is wisdom in the selection of wisdom – BERGEN EVANS Author and Professor
Those of you that follow this blog know that I am a big fan of a definitive trading plan. Having a plan however, does not equate to success, there are still limitations. One limitation is the small account. Unfortunately, the small account has many more obstacles to overcome to be successful than the large account. Let’s take a look at why that is the case.

Trader Fatigue / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: Dr_Janice_Dorn
Having trouble sleeping these days? You aren’t alone. The National Sleep Foundation’s 2009 study shows that some 30% of the U.S. population reports sleep disturbances. These include challenges with falling asleep, staying asleep or early-morning wakening with inability to get back to sleep. Last year, there were nearly 57,000,000 prescriptions written for sleep meds. That’s 57 million. In his book “Sleep Thieves,” Dr. Stanley Coren says that lack of sleep is causing us to be “clumsy, stupid, unhappy and dead.” Evidence is mounting that the tragic death of Michael Jackson was related to his inability to sleep without powerful sedative drugs.

Calculating Risk in Commodity Trading / InvestorEducation / Commodities Trading
By: Andrew_Abraham
In my opinion…everything boils down to risk… not how much you can make..but how much you can lose in commodity trading. More so when we put on a trade..we think to ourselves mentally…how much is this going to cost me to see if the trade will work. The sad thing is that most people believe because they put on a trade…it has to work…many experienced commodity trading advisors think the opposite…We always think in terms of risk per trade…risk per sector…and open trade equity risk.. If you trade commodities yourself you need to think in these terms…or if you allocate to a commodity trading advisor you need to get good answers to these questions.

During the past sixty years, most economic, market, and interest rate cycles have lasted from two to five years, peak-to-peak. Rarely have any of the cycle-tracking market indices moved in tandem, and none of the cycles are considered to be particularly predictable.

Are you Scared when you Trade Commodities? / InvestorEducation / Trader Psychology
By: Andrew_Abraham
I have seen countless times with inexperienced traders the fear that can come about. The reason of this fear is due to uncertainty in any particular trading situations. These traders do not have a plan. They get themselves into a situation in which they are losing money very quickly. Then there is the situation when one is scared and is stimulated to think. The reality is man is a lazy creature. He wants to be told what to do…how to invest and how to make money.

Stocks & Bonds Price Returns vs Total Returns / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Richard_Shaw
Price return is one thing, and total return is another. Most securities charts show price performance.
Total return for yielding securities is greater than price return, because it considers both price changes and investment income. Because some securities are yielding and some are not, and because some securities have low yields while others have high yields, total return is a better indicator of the value of owning a security than price return.

Research in Commodity Trading / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Andrew_Abraham
There are those in the camp that successful commodity trading can be achieved from research. Honestly I am in the camp of being a trend follower…having no opinions..and simply reacting to price with a strong focus on risk. The approach of trend following is not looked upon as favorably as one who looks at the fundamentals and spends countless hours researching. A simple question however… even after the research…who says the researcher is right…or if the trade will work? I would tend to believe 50/50 however many disagree ( I guess this is what makes a market…we all can’t agree).

However I believe the greatest mistake in life is to give up… Possibly the greatest mistake in commodity trading is to give up.
