⚡️5 Tips For A New Trader-How To Turn Profitable Trader

You must have started Day Trading, 6 months passed…1 year passed….2 years passed…. you’re still not profitable or maximum at break-even.

Are you in the same situation?

1) The law of large number(Probability) in Trading

The law of large numbers says that if the probability of something happening is X%,

the result will approach closer and closer to that probability the more attempts are made.

2/10
If you toss the coin hundred times and record your results, you will find that the result is very close to 50%.

Same applies in Trading. Result is close to 50% on big sample of trades.

Remember, It’s impossible to be profitable every day, you should have a long term goal.

3/10
Because your trading results are random in the short run.

That doesn’t mean now you will start taking 10-20 trades per day to reach 100 trades.

You need to take trades only based on your strategy rules, which is backtested and has edge, not random trades.

4/10
2) Find a Trading Style that suits your personality

The Market Wizards book has interviews of top traders in the world.

Every trader has different style, not all are following same system….that means you need to trade the trading style which suits your personality.

5/10
3) Develop your Trading plan

But…How to develop Trading plan….

•Decide your Capital
•How much Risk per trade?
•Decide your time frame?
•Which market you want to Trade?
•You want to be a scalper or Trend follower?

6/10
4)Time to execute your Trade

Once you’ve completed your trading plan, it’s time to enter the market and take your trade.

I would suggest starting really small when you are new, your capital should be small that it should not affect you emotionally even if you are losing.

7/10
When you execute your trade based on your strategy…. 1 of 5 things can happen.

1. Break even(no profit/no loss trade)
2. A small win
3. A big win
4. A small loss
5. A big loss

First 4 are fine, but it should never be 5th one,

8/10
Remember, in the short run, your trading results are random,

means you need a minimum of 100 trades, before coming up with a conclusion whether your trading strategy working or not.

Never jump from one strategy to another because you went through 3-4 losing trades.

9/10
5) Record your trades and improve your trading performance

Recording your trades most important in trading, maintain a trading journal and record all your trades whether it is in profit or loss.

⚡️Mean Reversion VS Trend Following

Trend following and mean reversion both are two great trading forms & you really cannot say that one is better than other.

It all depends on the type of strategy & market you’re trading & personal preferences.

#squareoffthreads🧵👇

What Is Mean Reversion?

Mean reversion is when a market tends to swing around its mean.

When a market has moved too much to the upside, we say it’s overbought.

The goal in mean reversion trading is to identify when a market has entered oversold or overbought territory.

2/10 Image
General Characteristics of Mean Reversion Strategies

Mean reversion strategies tend to have quite a high win rate.

The fact that winners are quite many, has the effect that mean reversion strategies have quite small winners and a few big losers.

Keep these questions in mind before losing your capital.

1. Do you have a robust trading strategy?

To be a successful trader, you need a robust trading strategy with a statistical edge — Something that is thoroughly backtested & works in most of the market conditions.

2/10
Let us take the example of Casino, make billions every year.

Casinos don’t beat players because they are lucky, but because the odds are in their favor.

By introducing 2 green pockets, they enjoy a winning probability of 20/38 viz a player’s winning probability of 18/38.

⚡️10 Realities of Trading For a Living

Trading for a living is a professional endeavor like any other. It requires a large amount of capital to go full time like other business & the returns are irregular much like being a commissioned sales person.

#squareoffthreads🧵👇

1/9
It is less about trading from a lap top on the beach with a Lamborghini in the garage and more about taking on the risk, managing the uncertainty along with the stress and being rewarded for good trades.

There is no regular paycheck, there are losing weeks, months & years.

2/9
1. You have to purchase medical insurance as you have no employer plan

2. You will be your own boss so you have to make yourself do the needed work of research, screen time, and trading

3. The lower your living expenses are the less you need to make to trade for a living.

Is there cost to investing later on in life?

In investing, considering that it doesn’t show any immediate benefits, it is one of those decisions many of us tend to put off for later

#squareoffthreads🧵👇

From low earnings in the initial phase of our careers to higher expenses post marriage, the reasons are many that we fall back on. What little we save often ends up either in just the savings account or at best an FD even for years together.

2/10
We do end up getting our collective acts together later on when concerns for our childs future or a drying up job market force us to think seriously about investing But is there a cost to investing later on in life, rather than earlier?

Let’s let the numbers do the talking
