A man and a boy sitting in a wooden
house filled with old furniture and dusty. Where the boy bowed his head,
looking at a guitar propped his feet were small.
Then the man sat staring at the
little boy. He is Jack White, a famous musician on the list of the 100 Greatest
Guitarists of All Time magazine Rolling Stone.
Where the boy was his.
From the above excerpts of stories,
is a scene from the documentary titled "It Might Get Loud". However
an adage we can glean from the story above, from another person or a place that
we never imagined possible before.
Here Jack White taught how to play the guitar to his son.
"You have to fight the guitar ..."
"And you have to win."
While the suggestion to become a
successful trader ... For trading. For a life in your trading career ... you
should be able to fight. And you should be able to win it.
Jack said, "You should be able
to fight with guitar". Was all he said before leaving her son. The words
"fight" a lesson for children. And perhaps at that moment I would bet
my money on the guitar.
In other words, at that time there
would be no hope. you can only win. But more likely you will be a lot of
defeats. But even so, Jack said, "You have to win". In other words,
Fight until you can beat. Of course there will be expectations when you are
trying in earnest.
Maybe it will take up to 3 months, 3
years, or even 30 years. While trading is not a shortcut to becoming a
millionaire suddenly.
Start with a question "Why?"
Why did you choose to trade? And why
did you choose as a trader? As well as what needs to be prepared before the
plunge in world trade? Therefore, let's look at some of the categories that can
help you to become a successful trader.
1. Mental
Why do you choose the trading world?
I hope not to get rich quick. Because if we do, then you will be ridiculed by
the market. Where I learned a lot from Jessie Livermore, one of the legendary
trader. Which he said the following;
"The game of speculation is the
most interesting games in the world. But if you know, it's not a game for
people who are ignorant, lazy mentality, people with low emotional balance, or
people who dream of getting rich quick. Those I mentioned will eventually die
poor. "
Market will give you the opportunity
to make a profit for those who are serious. You have been given the ease of
doing it from home. Then, use the best possible way ...
2. Knowledge
Knowledge, 2 (two), sorts, Special
and General. General knowledge has a width of 3 kilometers and a depth of three
centimeters. Specialized knowledge has a width of 3 centimeters, but the depth
of 3 kilometers.
As for becoming a professional
trader, you are required to have in-depth knowledge of trading. You may read
the news and can grasp the general content of the news. However I'm sure you
also never found a term you do not understand in it.
Start with one word, or the terms of
trading that you do not understand, find the answer through google uncle, blog,
website, or hanging out in the trading forum. Do this when you find a word you
do not understand.
Trading is not something that you
can learn by reading. You need some experience. You'll be surprised where you
will often repeat the same mistakes. From here you can learn to control
themselves. Until eventually you will get to a point where the knowledge of the
market will move.
3. Find yourself
You will surely find a trading
strategy that draws from forums, blogs, and so on. Then you try the demo account
to eventually use in their daily trading. But sometimes everything does not
work as intended. Confidence and experience the creator of such trading
strategies may not be transferred to you.
You might make an adjustment of the
trading strategies they use. Adjustments that will certainly make you more
comfortable and more confident. Therefore, find yourself, and adjust with the
skills you have.
