Learn To Trade Stocks and Options

Mimic a Trader and Learn. Lie!

I see it all the time and I need to throw this information out there as it is truly one of the biggest areas where new traders lie to themselves. From a business standpoint, it’s a great way to generate revenue, but if you honestly think you can mimic another person and make money while you learn… then you are a total sucker. Let’s use a little logic and reason to break down and show why this thought process is a total lie.

Lots of data points here on how this “sounds good in theory” principle actually does not work in reality - https://claytrader.com/podcast/

ClayTrader Mail: LOL… Good Stuff.

I’m not sure what else I can say or do other than laugh and offer up some hope that when you see failure rates as high as they are… people like the one in this video are the ones contributing in massive amounts to the “failed”.

HMNY Chatroom Collusion? Manipulation?

The human mind if a crazy place if you let it be. According to some, I have literally manipulated HMNY price to where it is now. The failed business model? Nah. That's not the reason. It's some guy's fault on YouTube!!!! I just had to sit down next to the fire and discuss this with you all, hopefully in an entertaining, but educational way.

A Grey Area of Trading

When you are in your early stages of learning how to trade and develop a strategy that works for you, there are some thought experiments that must be implemented in order to make sure your plan of action is wise. This is where the trick part comes into play however. By going too far with the “what if” game, you can severely harm yourself in your ability to grow and mature as a trader. You need to be aware.

Learn Without Emotion

When you go into trading and wanting to learn with these kind of emotions… as you’ll see… it becomes quite…. um… counterproductive.

A Trick to Not Force Trades

I can’t take any credit for coming up with this mind trick, but thanks to fellow followers of the ClayTrader community, it is a mind trick that I find myself using over and over again due to its effectiveness. If you’ve ever found yourself in a spot where you are feeling the need to make another trade to add onto your gains, stop and use this trick to help keep perspective and context.

ClayTrader Mail: Penny Stock Gambling

It’s annoying. It gives us all a bad name. On the bright side, these are the people who contribute to buying the tops and selling the bottoms to us traders who actually treat this stuff serious.

Fools Gold Follow-Up

Last week I shared a few examples of fools gold in the real world of trading and while I planned on doing another video today, I literally received hot off the press the email I will be sharing with you. And yes, you guessed it! It is yet another shining example of fool’s gold and how the whole “trading while I learn” is a severely flawed concept.

Exposed: Guru Alert Service Business Model

Have you ever seen some trading guru bragging all about their track record and trading ability? Hmmmm…. How are they absolutely killing it so much with the gains and profits? Well.. when you stop and break things down piece by piece, it’s truly a great business model they are using inflate their own trading numbers while padding their wallets with fees. The most important part though, their “results” allow them to keep on adding new sheep to the slaughterhouse.
