I’m a fairly experienced trader with a background in stocks, currencies, and futures. I’ve worked with coaches in each field, and Tim’s one of only two people I’d recommend. He does a great job separating performance issues from strategy issues, and then works on measurable improvements in both through specific, concrete actions. I highly recommend working with him.
Tim and the great content he has created on Eminimind has been an enormous help to my trading career. I have been trading full time now for about a year and a half. When I found Tim’s site, joined his live streams, and went all in on learning his very simplified trading system, my own trading of the /ES has improved and is finally consistent. Now I have a trading system I am confident will work for a long and successful career, if I am able to keep my discipline and mindset consistent as well. Tim’s weekly emails are a big help in getting my mental side of this equation to place it needs to be.”
I really want to thank you again for mentoring me last year. The results have been incredible ever since, this year is the most profitable and consistent I have ever been. What really excelled me is taking your strategies and then molding them in a way that fits my trading style. Without your help I wouldn’t be where I am now.
It is important to make the distinction between trading vs. investing. You will be hard pressed to find a trader who is not also an investor, but not all investors are traders. As a matter of fact, if you throw all traders and investors together, traders make up a mere fraction.
Setting up a multi-monitor trading screen will give you the most functionality and efficiency for your trading and is almost a necessity when trading more than one market. I use a three monitor setup and trade two markets, the E-mini S&P and Euro Futures.
As traders are we actually able to anticipate market movements or are they truly random?
The balance of supply versus perceived demand becomes the basis of my market theory. The market is in constant shift between one state of balance and another and it’s these price movements that we look to capitalize on.
One of the best parts of trading is to be able to work according to your own schedule. Frankly, it’s not even work when you love what you do. Yet a “typical” trading day becomes almost boring over time. I say this because your strategy and rules become so ingrained in your subconscious that you simply act the same way in each situation according to your plan.
If you feel like the road to becoming a successful trader has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs you’re not alone.
