Subscribe to How To Trade ItDoc Severson has been trading since the mid-90s. According to him, that’s when it was relatively easy to make money. Stocks were discounted compared to today’s prices. When 2000 hit, he realized he didn’t know what he was doing. Everyone is a genius in a bull market. He understood the tech market well and knew what would be hot or speculative. But when the market turned, he no longer had an edge. He kept buying on the way down. So he went dormant until 2004 when he attended a motivational seminar about the stock market and options.

Subscribe to How To Trade ItMost people only account for 3 of the 8 major forces that impact trading. This results in gaining money only to give it all right back… over and over again. To stop the bleeding—and move into actually keeping consistent monetary gains—you MUST account for all of the 8 major forces in your trading plan. So what are the 8 forces? Why are they important to be familiar with? Roger Khoury spills the details in this episode of How To Trade It. Don’t miss it! Roger Khoury is an expert in the field of market forecasting, with over two decades of experience. In 2010, he developed an innovative probability-based form of price forecasting, called Market Vulnerability Analysis™ (or MVA™), to overcome an inherent flaw he had discovered in most trading systems and strategies, which is the root cause of large drawdowns and inconsistent results.

Subscribe to How To Trade ItIs a profitable trading system not working for you but IS working for someone else? Do you find yourself feeling like an utter failure? You may not realize this, but the most important skill that a trader can have is their mindset. A lot of traders do not agree with me on this. But I believe mindset is the missing ingredient that separates successful traders from unsuccessful traders. You need to work hard to develop a profitable and healthy mindset. It’s all based on how we think. If you want to achieve success, you have to change and think differently than you did before. So in this episode of How To Trade It, I share some attitudes that are necessary to adopt for a successful trading mindset. I also share some practices I put into place daily to improve my chance for success. It will be uncomfortable. I’m asking you to do things you’ve never done before. But If you want to grow you have to move out of your comfort zone and embrace new ideas. This is a full training, so grab a pe
