[Follow your trading plan regardless of each trade’s outcome]

When I was a 7-year-old, my teacher would give me a “star sticker” whenever I put in the effort to do my homework, regardless of whether the answer is right or wrong.

In other words, she rewards effort, not the outcome.

If you think about it, this approach is highly suitable for trading.

You should reward yourself whenever you follow your trading plan regardless of whether the trade is a winning or a loser.

So here’s how the star system works…

- Every time you follow your plan, you get 1 star
- Every time you didn’t follow your plan, you get -2 stars
- The goal of the star system is to accumulate 100 stars

As you can see, the focus isn’t to make profits.

Rather, it’s to accumulate as many stars as possible by being consistent with your actions.

Remember, a consistent set of actions lead to a consistent set of results.

Trading one strategy with discipline is like having a loyal partner.

Having 10 strategies without discipline is like dating multiple partners and ending up alone.

[Always be a student of the markets]

Here’s my learning curve as a trader:

I started with indicators, then price action trading.

And for a few years, I thought that’s all I needed because after all, the price is king and that’s all I needed to be a profitable trader.

But that hurts my growth because I tuned out everything else (and limited myself only to price action trading).

When I realized my folly, I quickly went back to being a student of the markets.

So I asked myself:

“What are other winning traders doing to profit from the markets?”

That’s when I got exposed to trend following, systems trading, mean reversion trading, etc.

By expanding my knowledge and incorporating different strategies, I was able to find more trading opportunities (most traders are blinded to).

So here's the deal...

You may (or may not) be a profitable trader but, it doesn’t mean your learning curve is over because you’re always a student of the market.

I encourage you to keep learning and exploring new strategies. Don't limit yourself to just one approach, because there's always more to discover.

Ultimately, the key is to remain open-minded and willing to try new things. It can be scary to step outside your comfort zone, but it's often the only way to achieve true growth and success.

[Pullback stock trading tips]

When it comes to stock trading, it’s possible to have hundreds of stocks forming a pullback trading setup at the same time.

So the question is:

How do you know which stocks to buy and which to avoid?

Well, the secret is to focus on stocks which have increased the most in price over the last 12 months.

Why?

Because these are stocks likely to outperform the market (and it’s been proven in theory as well according to the paper Returns to Buying Winners and Selling Losers by Jegadeesh and Titman).

So, how do you apply this to your trading?

1. Rank stocks according to their rate of change (ROC) over the last 50-weeks—from the highest to the lowest

2. Look for a pullback trading setup on stocks with the highest ROC value. If there isn’t, then move to the next stock (with a lower ROC value)

3. The top 5 stocks with a valid pullback trading setup are the ones to focus on

Pro Tip:

You can use a platform like Thinkorswim to help you rank the stocks, and it’s free.

Good trading isn't about how much you make.

You can make money on poor decisions and lose money on good decisions.

Instead, focus on the process.

Trade with an edge. Execute your trades consistently. And have proper risk management.

[The hidden cost of copy trading that nobody tells you]

Copy trading is a business.

So, if you’re not being charged any upfront fee, then you’re paying more for the spread and overnight fees.

I’ll explain…

For most Forex brokers, the spread on EUR/USD is 1 pip. But on a copy trading platform, you might pay 2 to 3 pips more.

But don’t take my words for it because you can compare the spreads of a normal Forex broker with a copy trading platform and you’ll see the difference.

So, what’s the implication?

Two things.

#1: If you’re a trader being copied, then bear in mind your trading strategy won’t work as well because you’re paying more in spread (compared to a typical Forex broker).

#2: If you’re copying another trader, then it’s best to follow traders who trade infrequently so the spread doesn’t eat up a huge chunk of your profits.

Now, the spread isn’t your only cost because you still have to consider overnight fees (if you’re holding positions for longer than a day).

This fee is calculated by taking Libor + X%.

(Libor stands for inter-bank offered rate. It’s an interest rate that banks charge to other banks for borrowing the money.)

So, what is X?

Well, this is the mark up that’s determined by the copy trading platform and you’ll need to check with them for the exact amount.

The good news is, you don’t have to worry about calculating all these because the platform will likely do it for you—so do check it out before placing a trade.

Now, there are probably other fees to consider but the spread and overnight fees make up the chunk of it.
