FULL DESCRIPTION

I believe dreams can come true, but with hard work and patience. There are tons of perils along the way.

The number-one setback for most traders is emotion. Too many traders are mentally and emotionally invested in stocks — and it shows in their trades. Here’s the good news: With enough knowledge, you can change these habits and adapt accordingly.

The best rules I've learned in terms of trading can seem counterintuitive. Trades won’t always play out as you plan. It takes extreme discipline to not let a small loss turn into a potentially huge disaster.

That’s why I teach you how to cut losses quickly. Losing is inevitable, but learning to manage your emotions while trading is just smart. Because your emotions can make you do foolish things...

So, rule number one: Cut losses quickly. If a stock is going in my favor, but maybe not quick enough, I don't wait for a loss. I exit.

Depending on how long you’ve been following me, you may notice that I exit trades faster than I ‘should.’ Sure, I could make bigger gains, but I’m not willing to take the risk.

Rule number two: Trade conservatively. Trading without emotion is essential, and it’s not easy! It takes discipline and practice until it becomes mechanical.

Anything can happen in the stock market. Any one trade can wipe you out if you're overconfident. I still make mistakes. I still lose. My number-one problem is overtrading.

I like to think of myself as a retired trader. I don't wanna take a trade if I don’t feel confident. My mindset is to only come out of retirement for the trades I’m confident in.

This mentality helps keep me disciplined. Try it!
