Elements of Successful Trading
Author: Rob Hall

 
Trading the stock or commodities markets provides an opportunity
for ordinary people to accumulate extraordinary wealth.

Trading is not difficult to learn and many consider this to be the
ultimate home business.

Trading is a business that allows you to take control of your financial
well being.

However, if you are going to be a trader of stocks or commodities the
following elements are essential to your success.

Mastering these elements will not ensure your success, because there are other factors that influence markets that cannot be covered in this article, but if you don't master these elements you will ensure failure.

1) Money Management

Money management is taking the necessary steps to protect your
capital, at all times.

It means knowing when to get out of a trade that is not going your way.

It means only trading an amount you can afford.

It means you do not fall in love with a trade so you are stuck with it no
matter it does.

It also means knowing when to leave a market with a profit.

Money management allows you to stay in the markets so you can profit
handsomely from proper trading techniques.

(Money management is so absolutely vital to successful trading, and
investing it cannot be expressed enough.)

2) The trend is your friend

The "trend is your friend" is an old trading expression that's been around for generations, and is as true today as in past years.

The laws of physics states that a body in motion stays in motion, in the
same direction. This also holds true for market trends.

Market trends keep moving in the same direction until they stop and reverse themselves.

So, if the trend is up, you want to be "long" the markets to profit from
the trend.

3) Do not argue with the market

Many traders and investors have trouble accepting the fact that the market will always do what it wants to do.

If you are "long" the market you want it to go up, but, if the market decides it wants to go down...guess what will happen? That's right, the market will go down.

This seems so obvious but many lose sight of this simple fact, and end up
losing money.

Then, they blame the market for their losses.
