VIDEO TYPE: TRADING PSYCHOLOGY- RECOVERING FROM LOSS

Day Trading University: Bouncing Back FAST

Many traders take huge losses, often because they're not able to deal with taking small stops. They panic. And lose some more.

In this 12-minute video trading lesson, I cover 3 strategies for how to recover from trading losses: tips that can help you "shake off" a recent string of losses and bounce back quickly.    Sometimes it's not so hard...see why:

Trader Activity: Practice (paper)trading smaller share size after your very next trading loss. Let's say you traded EBAY for 500 shares and lost .6 of a point.

For your next trade (any stock), cut your share size down to 200 shares, and don't trade over 200 shares again til you get at least 3 wins in a row.

What can you do to mentally "bounce back" from trading losses, without it putting a cramp in your trading style? The discipline and professionalism that's needed to be a trader (vs a gambler) requires a specific, thoughtful process for managing both win and loss limits. What will you do, the next time you take a stop? How will you "bounce back" and recover with professional poise and risk management? Give it a try!

Trader Activity: Choose 6 stocks with volatile 2-point or better trading ranges, over $30/share, trading >1.5M shares/day avg volume.

Next, keep track of when these stocks move through prior day's highs/lows, and see what you'd to improve your trading entries based on the specific breakout/breakdoswn patterns you see. Finally, papertrade shorting new 2-day lows in volatile Retail, Biotech and other stocks in motion each morning. Now see, that wasn't so hard, was it?

Trading Jazz: How Trading's Like Improv

Traders - how is trading like jazz? To me, it's like playing jazz improv, because you don't know what's going to happen next!

Here I am noodling around a bit with my sax, Sade...

And hey don't mind my frowning, it's how I usually look when I play sax... I'm really in a great mood... (remind me to wear my shades and cool jazz hat next time I record one of these, ok?)...

The next time you're about to trade, think about it like jazz: you want it to turn out smoothly and successfully, right? So practice, practice, practice - that's the only way to get better.

Trade well,
