You might be aware of the fact that great leaders are not born, but created in this very earth, and the same implies to investors and traders too. If you have self-confidence, the right motivation, perseverance, discipline and self confidence you can battle out all odds in the online share market. But those who lack basic confidence and persistence will be losers in the long run.
Great trade masters like Gerald Appel, Robert Prechter and even Elliot Waves have stressed the importance of discipline while trading in the stock market. A disciplined trading will reach rich benefits, and experience coupled with the right discipline will take you to great heights in the stock market sector.
Some ground rules to be followed while trading
The first all important quality that an individual should posses is acceptance of losses. People falter when there is a loss and they do not posses the ability to accept losses when the need arises. Although losses may hinder your sleep, learn to live with the fact that every cloud does have a silver lining and tomorrow things may change. Law of nature states that everything that goes up will come down and this applies to the stock market too. Be grounded and accept realities. Losses will turn into gains if you stay cool
Persistent is another word that should be accepted by all traders. Continue trading and be persistent even if the results are not too good. Bad times are followed by good times and vice versa.. You have to trade cautiously and persistently in bad and good times to taste the sweet fruit of success.
Try and specialize in a particular market. You can choose stocks, equity shares, dividend payouts or any other area that interests you.. Take one market at a time, become a specialist in that particular field and tone your skills. As time passes you will eventually become a master in all fields.
Do not overtrade and overburden yourself. Do not get addicted to trading. There are days when the market does not offer you anything and these days preserve your capital and try to avoid losses. Trading is not necessarily an everyday event. There are certain days where the market is very bearish and you do not have good options. Play safe on these days.
The above tips will help you stay grounded and keep your cool whiles trading in the stock market. You should hold your nerve, be disciplined and persistent to really stay ahead of everyone during trading sessions.
