The Importance of Having a Plan
A critical part of trading successfully is starting with a plan that you write out. This will be a valuable first step toward scaling your account. And unless you already have a decent-sized trading account ($50K or larger), you are going to NEED to scale your account. Simply put, that means taking your account and rapidly growing it to a predetermined amount. You can’t do this without a target in mind before you begin. You can’t reach a target without a mapped out plan to get there.
What’s Your Strategy?
You are going to be exponentially more successful if you use a simple, easy-to-follow trading strategy. Find one you like, and then stick with it. You want to outline the strategy and have all of your rules written out, so that you are able to identify if you are following the plan correctly. Without a strategic plan to follow, you will wander around aimlessly, and that’s a terrible way to trade.
Review, review, review
It’s not glamorous, but it sure is necessary. Every week, you need to sit down and review your trades. Ask specific questions, like, “Did I follow my rules? My risk management? How are my results? Is there something I need to tweek?” If you don’t have a successful week, do not just toss out your whole strategy. Make a small change, based on the answers to your questions, and implement that change over the following week. Review again the following week, and the next, and the next. Making one change at a time will allow you to see what is and what isn’t working.
