]]> Some of you have already noticed this, but just in case there are still some traders looking for fresh content here I wanted to be sure to point you in the right direction.

I’m moving future posts of the Trading Blog over to TheStockBandit.com, as I’ve been posting there for a few months and that’s where all the new posts and articles will be published going forward.  Please be sure to update to the new RSS Feed to receive all the new posts as they’re published, and get on the email list to ensure you’re notified of any pertinent updates.

The reason for doing this is simply to consolidate content, as we already have a ton of information at the main site to teach and educate traders.  Shifting the blog over there just makes sense so you can get it all in one place.  I’ll continue to share trading insights, discuss the market, review charts, and do whatever I can to keep you on track with your trading.

Please note that the archives here will remain in place, so TheStockBandit.net isn’t going anywhere – it’s just not going to be updated with new posts going forward.  There are 745 posts here which hopefully will continue to be read, because there’s gold in the archives that should not be ignored!

For ease of reference, we’ve also created a new Trading Blog archives page at the main site with the posts there separated by topic, so when you have some free time there will always be something to click on that’s worth a read.

As always, thank you for your continued readership and I look forward to helping you achieve your trading goals!

]]> If you’re a Raleigh trader or are located in the surrounding area, make plans Friday December 14th or Saturday December 15th to attend the Worden Conference where I’ll be presenting live alongside Peter Worden.

On both Friday & Saturday (Dec. 14 & 15) at the Worden TC2000 workshop, I’ll be teaching live. It’s at the Embassy Suites Raleigh-Durham (201 Harrison Oaks Blvd, Cary, NC 27513). The workshop starts at 10am and ends at 4pm, and I’d love to see you there either day.

Specifically, I’ll discuss Simplified Technical Analysis (Friday), and Trading YOUR Way Better (Saturday). We’ll take a look together at what’s really taking place in the market right now, what looks best going forward (so you’ll leave with some actionable ideas), and we’ll build a watch list together of your stocks and read the charts together.

I have a lot of good stuff planned, plus you’ll see the new version 12.3 of TC2000. I’m excited about being there and giving you some insights for better trading. Make plans to be there by pre-registering or just show up (it’s free) – but get there early for a good seat!

Formulating Your Trading Plan DVD

]]> Newer traders quickly learn that there are a multitude of strategies to employ and a variety of timeframes in which to apply them.  And then they make a huge mistake:  they try to learn them all simultaneously.

Picking up new plays and honing skills takes time.  You start out with one strategy and get better at it until you have an understanding of how and when it works best.  And then you add another and keep repeating the process.

But few understand where to begin, so let me simplify it for you.  Let market conditions dictate which plays you focus on.

Whatever is working in the here and now is the play you need to be working on.  In a momentum tape, naturally it’s going to be breakout plays.  In a trading range, you work on trading more reversals from key levels of support and resistance.  When a steady trend comes along, it’s going to mean the best way to get involved is on pullback plays.  And when corrections kick in like the one we’re currently caught in, you learn to trade the short side after failed bounces back to broken (former) support zones.

Don’t try to perfect a dozen plays simultaneously.  You’ll feel overwhelmed and get nowhere.

You don’t acquire an entire wardrobe in a day.  You build it over time as weather conditions change.  With your trading, it’s the same way.  Take it one play at a time based on current conditions, and you’ll grow your skill set with greater consistency over time.

]]> Years ago as an aspiring professional golfer, I had a conversation with a veteran (PGA) Tour player.  I asked him what he thought some of the differences were between a guy like him and the guys on the next level down.  Both might go out and shoot 65 on a given day, but what was the missing ingredient for the guys below the top level?  They had plenty of game, but just couldn’t get to the next level.  What set him apart?

His response surprised me with how simple it was.  He said that a Tour player would almost always find a way.  He’d find a way to hit the fairway on the narrowest hole on the course.  He’d find a way to grind out a par after a poor shot.  He’d find a way.  It was about will, about focus, and attitude – not merely gaining distance or accuracy or putting in more practice.

It translates into trading.

Great traders don’t necessarily find better trades than those who struggle.  But they do find a way to limit the damage on their poor positions.  They find a way to get involved in a move – on some timeframe.  They keep learning even though they have plenty of past successes to reminisce about. They have a will about them, a focus, which prevents their mistakes from becoming catastrophes the way a struggling trader might.  Their attitude promotes success, not rationalizations for a shrinking account.

Stop accepting excuses for your underperformance.  HFT’s are prevalent in today’s markets, find a way to co-habitate with them (pun intended).  Elections happen and cause some uncertainty.  Terror threats emerge from time to time.  Market volume dries up periodically.  Find a way in spite of it.  Those who are successful always find a way, no matter the conditions.
