Make Money Trading Online

I’ve made a living as a Stock Trader for over 15 years, and have really learned the ins and outs of the business. However, I didn’t start my career at a big firm with lots of training courses to teach me “their way”. I made it through trial and error, taking seminars and classes and learning as I go.

While my self taught training may have resulted in a slower success, I know a lot more about the real world of stock trading than a lot of those investment advisors out there who only know what their employer told them. I have learned during my career that there are a number of misconceptions that people have about stock trading. Here are three of them:

First, is the myth that only certain types of people make successful stock traders. True, those folks who can analyze stock trends and “pick” the big winners are typically left brained thinkers (more than 60%), which is probably how this myth originated.

But I have found that trading stock has something in it for every type of thinker, and the trick is to find the process that works best for you. Frankly, I would hate to sit around and analyze stocks all day, but I have made a great living trading stocks anyway. Anyone else can too.

Second, is the underlying belief that stock trading is risky, even riskier than owning your own business. True, people have lost their shirts in the stock market, and those are the big splashy stories we all hear that frighten a lot of people away.

But I have learned that if you have the right process in place for setting your stops and limiting your risks to a level that you are comfortable with, it can really be a very low risk profession. For example, I have created a system for myself that allows me to trade with a 75% or more success rate, which is fantastic! I know of no other business that can give me that kind of low risk situation.

Finally, how many times have you heard that its a full time job to make consistent big money in the stock market? This is true for some types of stock trading, especially if you can’t rely on others to help pick your stocks. Then you have to do all the investigative leg work in a fast moving environment, which is sure to use up all your time.

However, it is absolutely possible to make a great career out of trading stock for 2-4 hours a day, and having the rest of your time to do what you want. You need a strategy in place that is time effective and a low enough risk to meet your comfort level. Where can you find a strategy that works for you? There are a lot of programs out there, and it can be difficult to find the one that is right for you. I advise you to investigate several options, ask questions (if there’s no one who will answer your questions, move on…life is too short to deal with bad customer service). Head into your research knowing the right process is there for you, and you will be on your way to success at stock trading in no time.
