Improving Already Successful Day Trading

A student recently wrote and asked me a couple questions which have been asked before, so evidently there are a lot of readers wondering the same things. I’ll answer the 2 questions with 2 different videos.

Today – Part 1: How to improve your successful day trading.



Stay tuned for Part 2 of this video.

    Excellent information often overlooked! I didn’t realize how important it was until I got in the arena. I’m really looking forward to Part 2

    good basic info but does not address the intricies of trading a particular contract.
    There may very well be good reasons to pay a higher % of commisssions.

    Thanks for your efforts to educcate traders.

    Another great video, generously supplied by Dr Burns.

    Actually, as I am in the UK, and have access to “Spread Betting” as a form of trading, it is not directly applicable, since we do not have to pay commission on this. However, similar lessons apply. Instead of commission, we have a large spread to deal with, and I think the trick when you are starting out is to seek out those instruments with the smallest spread (and the smallest minimum stop). Of course not all UK traders use Spread Betting, and those who deal directly via market brokers do have to pay commission, so this video does apply to them.

    Regards,
    Mike

    Very clear presentation of a very basic concept. Every now and then it is a good exercise to go over old concepts, also for a seasoned trader. Thanks, and looking forward to the secon video

    Good common sense teaching again Dr. Burns, but common sense often needs pointing out!
    I started reviewing your course a few weeks ago and have been meaning to give you a post since then but haven’t had the time, so I’ll take this opportunity.
    For some time now I’ve used the same basic indicators and oscilators that you teach and was only moderately successfull, but it was the best strategy that I had.
    So far, your teaching has been the glue to bind a trading philosophy, that by no means I think that I have conquered, but one that I have much more confindense and understanding of.
    I’m looking forward to reviewing the courses again this weekend for better understanding, and perhaps another 415% option profit that I found the weekend after my first review!
    I’ve spent thousands of dollar on people who know how to pick a stock, but don’t know when to buy it and more importantly, when to sell it!
    Your teaching, properly applied can make far more for far less than the other options that I’ve experienced.
    I look forward to more good…and profitable insights.

    Interesting video, but aren’t the advantages of the higher priced contracts reduced by the larger spread? The spread is just a hidden comission (except for forex traders).

      Mark,

      Good comment, and that is a factor on your entry. Would be important for scalpers, but I’m not a scalper, so the big moves make more money. Also, just to reiterate, commissions are not always equal and sometimes can
      be bigger on higher priced contracts, so be sure you check.
