Eckhart Tolle’s philosophy on embracing the present moment confers a powerful lens through which to analyse both personal well-being and trading strategies. This perspective suggests that resistance to reality generates psychological distress while embracing the present fosters clarity and more constructive outcomes. Within the trading realm, mindfulness—a concept often misconstrued as abstract or mystical—represents a…
Trend-following traders prioritise aligning their strategies with the market’s direction rather than their personal biases or egos. The market operates independently of any individual’s beliefs or predictions and rewards those who adapt to its movements. By following the prevailing trend, traders capitalise on the momentum, allowing them to ride profitable waves rather than getting caught…
Adaptation Adaptation is the delicate equilibrium that distinguishes despair from triumph in the realm of trading. In this domain, where uncertainty reigns supreme, achievement demands more than analytical prowess; it necessitates an acknowledgment of the market’s inherent unpredictability. Every trade presents a dual possibility: it may propel a trader forward, redefining their trajectory, or it…
A few weeks ago I lamented the desire of traders to make their lives much harder than than they should be. To illustrate this I posted the chart below – It highlights the power of drawing straight lines to define zones of congestion and then going long or short based on the direction of the…
All forms of trading require decision-making. Sometimes, this decision-making is logical and generates a natural, logical endpoint that anyone can follow. At other times, it is narrative-based and relies upon stories and feelings—neither of which works.
One of the most remarkable things about markets is their absolute impartiality. They don’t care about your background, education, age, or social status. The thing the markets penalize—consistently and without fail—is laziness and a lack of discipline. If you’ve been lured by promises of “get-rich-quick” systems that claim to require just 15 minutes of effort…
The Market as a Mirror Investing and trading have long been subjects of intrigue, with countless books and theories attempting to decode the seemingly chaotic nature of markets. One such book, Blood in the Streets, authored by Nathan Rothschild has gained a degree of fame for its insights. The title reflects a common metaphor used…
Fear: The Powerful Adversary of Every Trader Fear is one of the most formidable challenges that traders face. It is powerful and far from harmless. As an emotional force, fear can take hold and grow, gaining enough strength to overwhelm even the most seasoned traders. If left unchecked, fear can dominate decision-making, paralyse the…
I am continuing to review and work on things after last year’s less than stellar showing. As such I have been building a little ready reckoner of general points to adhere to and review. Somewhat frustrating when the basis for this list was first written over three decades ago. If you have any additions drop…
Our Boardroom forum has a signals section where I post potential trades I have noticed. I posted this chart yesterday morning. Nothing more complicated than two straight lines and a plan. This is last night’s trade.
A survey has revealed 89 per cent of small businesses are more concerned for their future, than they were during the lockdown years. The findings reveal that 40 per cent of small business owners experienced a decline in revenue over the last year. Many business owners are finding that the most effective strategy is to…
Trading presents each trader with a decision: you can make trading as hard as you want or as easy as you want. You can decide the plaster your chart with gibberish hoping that within the noise you can identify a signal or you can opt for a few simple rules and let them guide you.…
People often argue over what the role of markets is. If you ask someone with a traditional education that involves say a degree in economics or business followed by an MBA they will tell you that markets are designed as a mechanism for raising capital and for pricing a business to enable it to raise…
Trading is a learned profession—no one is born a fully formed trader. Each response and subsequent activity is learned. The difference between a good trader and a habitually poor trader arises in the mechanism of learning and how they interpret the feedback from each of their actions. The matrix below shows the differences in how…
