Into the book
Amateurs not only deny the possibility of losing money, they are also unwilling to take the risk.
Talking about capital is just an excuse to avoid the painful truth.
The problem isn't a lack of capital, but a lack of trading training and a lack of a realistic money management plan.

To survive and make money in the market, you must be thorough in your loss management.
The trick is to limit the size of any one trade to a tiny fraction of your capital (see Part 9, "Risk Management").
By operating with small amounts of capital, you should be able to learn from mistakes while minimizing losses.
--- p.50

When a trader makes a profit, he feels like a great person and is very excited.
And then, overcome with pride, they start trading recklessly to try to make a profit again, only to end up throwing up all the profits they had made.
Most traders cannot stand seeing huge losses.
If you fall into the abyss and hit rock bottom, your life as a trader is over and you are out of the market.
Only the very few who realize that the problem lies not in trading techniques but in 'thinking' survive.
These are changeable and that is what makes you successful as a trader.
--- p.78

When viewed as a group, professionals generally trade in the opposite way to amateurs.
Pros buy at low prices or short sell at high prices, then liquidate their positions at the close of the market.
Therefore, we must pay attention to the relationship between the ancestral home and the ancestral home.
If the closing price is higher than the opening price, market professionals are more likely to view the market as bullish than amateurs.
If the closing price is lower than the opening price, professionals are more likely to view the market as bearish than amateurs.
It is advantageous to trade in step with the moves of the pros and against the moves of amateurs.

When the first edition of "Psychological Investing Laws" was published, the only services tracking advisor opinions were Investor's Intelligence and Market Bain.
However, with the recent explosion of interest in behavioral economics, services that track advisors have become readily available.
My favorite service is SentimentRadar.com, whose motto is "Don't let your feelings hurt you, make them your ally."
The crowd market sentiment tracked by publisher Jason Goepfert is reliable.
--- p.355

I use a spreadsheet to keep track of what I need to do before opening.
I adapted an idea from Max Larson, a fund manager based in Ohio, to my own liking.
The version I'm currently using is 3.7, which changes two major elements and a few minor ones.
'3.7' is based on my perspective on the market, and contains links to various websites that have the information I want.
The homework spreadsheet I use (Figure 57-1) is still being revised by adding and removing cells.
I guarantee that once you use this spreadsheet, you will be able to modify it to your own liking.

Presenting a new solution to the financial market: "psychological investing."


It became a hot topic on Wall Street as soon as it was published, and it was translated into ten languages ​​around the world to great acclaim, becoming a global bestseller.
The author, Dr. Alexander Elder, is a psychiatrist and renowned technician who pioneered the concept of "psychological investing" in the financial markets by combining psychology and technical analysis, and has become a leader in this field.

To date, his techniques have been cited and recommended in numerous investment books, media, and investment programs, and he continues to receive attention as a long-term bestseller on Amazon.
This is a must-read for investors of this era, with legendary traders in the domestic futures market praising it as "a book that clearly understands the psychology of the market and the crowd!"
Thanks to his unique background as a psychiatrist, he was able to penetrate the psychology of investors and apply this knowledge to the market, opening a new chapter in psychological investment.
This book presents three key principles of psychological investing in a logical and persuasive manner, offering solutions to protect yourself in turbulent markets.

“The only thing a trader can control is himself.”
The most fundamental factor that determines the success or failure of trading is psychology.
Parts 1 and 2 discuss how to uncover emotional vulnerabilities by delving into the psychology of individuals as traders and the psychology of groups as crowds.
Everyone enters the market to make money, but if you can't understand why most people fail to achieve their goals and exit, this is a topic you should read carefully.
It gives you insight into what a market is, what price is, and what the psychology behind trends is.

Trading is a game of possibility versus direction.
Based on traditional chart analysis methods such as support and resistance, trends, and chart patterns, it explains the meaning and utilization of technical indicators such as MACD, oscillators, momentum, ROC, and stochastic (Parts 3-4).
We examine volume and volume-based indicators to determine the relationship between time units and trading decisions (Part 5).
Explains indicators that analyze the entire market (Part 6) and trading systems (Part 7).
We've rewritten the Trading Targets (Part 8) section to help you decide which markets to focus on among the six types of trading targets, including stocks, ETFs, and options.


“A trader's first goal is to survive in the market.”
Once a trader enters the market, price fluctuations, whether profit or loss, make him psychologically vulnerable.
The temptation to change your financial plan becomes even stronger when you suffer a loss.
This is why strict financial management principles are necessary.
We discuss the psychology of loss and the principles of smart loss limitation, and present detailed and new strategies for setting risk levels and liquidating positions (Parts 9-10).
The author also suggests recording your trades after they are finished (Part 11), as traders who fail to learn from their past will not only fail to grow their profits steadily or become high-yield traders, but will also fail to survive in the market.
