Market Break in?

Recommended Posts

Have you ever had a person, friend or college ask you what they need to do, to be able to work on the same level as you(i.e Trading stocks instead of working at walmart, or target, or even some boring office job?

 

If so what advice have you given them to start into day trading, and how successful were they?

 

About 9 months ago I had a friend in Highschool ( I started trading them) asked me howto do it. I pointed him to watch the news about new companies and mergers and that of the such. I then coached him into buying macromedia stock right before adobe bought them, in 3 months his stock doubled and he still loves me to this day:cool:

well

 

yes I did have friends that look into this business, and they inquired me on how it should be done and everything. I say that, knowledge is king. You need to know what you're doing. At least some basic concepts. Probably I am going to throw some old-fashioned rules here but, understanding the correlation between the economy sectors(bank, defense, semiconductors, pharmaceutical etc), the Dow Jones and the market itself to me is necessary in order to see what's going on. Other suggestion is to understand the concept of supply and demand and how the market create dynamics around these levels.

 

There's plenty of information available outhere. Soultrader has wonderful videos and books on this site . I sincerely doubt you can get any better input outhere that what you have here. With education comes experience. How long does it take to be succesful in this business? That's up to you. I never set a time table on anything. Whenever you're ready..well you're ready. What are you waitng for?

 

Once you now what you're doing and you have a set of rules in place, start trading. Jump in. Demo trade for a while if you want or go live with 1-2 contracts, pips, shares, whatever your market is.

 

Some traders prefer to jump in a go live in order to break the emotional barrier. Whatever works for you. If youd decide to go live, please be sure to know the pro's and con's.

 

Don't become yourself an educational junkie. It's good to be updated on what's going on. But some traders are looking constantly to plug their umbilical chords into everything they see or hear with the hope of getting close to have an A.B DIck printing equipment, that spits $100.00 bills every second. Especially those days when your own "set of rules" seems like not working at all.

 

Trading is a game of probabilities. Your job as a trader is to turn these probabilities into possibilities more often than not. You're going to get burned (for sure) sometimes. The key is to get burned but not roasted. Managing your bankroll is another thing you need to master. Again, there's plenty of help outhere.

 

This is basically what I tell friends and people who I helped in the past.

 

Regards

Thank you for the compliments Raul :) You basically said everything a new trader needs to hear.

 

One advice I give to all new traders is to listen. Many people hear but they never listen. Fools think they know everything. The moment you think you know it all is the moment you slipped down into mediocricy.

 

There is so much to learn about trading. The markets teach me something new everyday. This is why trading is so exciting. You never sleep without gaining regardless of whether you won or lost that day.

 

Have an open mind and listen to others. There is no reason to shut off your mind from other traders comments. Out of 30 irrelevant comments, you might find 1 comment that can change your life.

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
