Trading Personality

Everyone is different, so it makes sense that everyone has a different trading strategy. Figuring out your trading personality is the first step to making money in the stock market.

Most people do not realize that someone else’s strategy might not work as well for them as it does for someone else. Everyone draw support lines differently. Every little thing matters. This is why it is important to create your own system.

The first part to successful trading is finding which strategy fits your trading personality. Do you like the high probability trades that you get from selling options? Selling out of the money options doesn’t attempt to strike it rich with trades that give hundreds of percentage return, but tries to gain a smaller consistent income every month.

Maybe you want the quick profits and losses that accompany swing trading. Making huge returns when you are right and taking small losses when you are wrong allows you to seek out the huge short term returns on your money. Or maybe you want the even faster profits that come with day trading. Gaining small profits throughout the day can add up.

Maybe you are the fundamental investor who doesn’t want to watch the market all day but prefers to buy a fundamentally strong stock and hold onto it for the long term. This is the easy do your research, buy it and forget it approach. This is a safe way were you don’t have to worry about short term movements, however you will most likely not make as big of a return this way.

Whatever strategy you choose it is important to develop a system for trading with it. Sticking with that strategy and adjusting it to work in different situations is also a key to making a good return in the markets. If you constantly go from one strategy to another you will not get anywhere. But if you stay with it and continue there is no telling how far you will be able to go.
