Exploitation of market inefficiencies


I was a manager in business for over ten years, before traders began full-time. At that time, I did not understand as well that the effort spent before benefit for my higher trading activity. It turned out that trade on the oscillation is strongly dependent on effective management, from idea through execution.

Traders need to manage both time and information with great skill. In the end, short-term speculation reflect very attractive principle of "time is money", which will lead to greater profits in a short period of time than simple investment. However, this activity is also rapidly cause severe losses if you do not exercise constant interference and regulation.

The aim is to exploit market inefficiencies, which is shown through the pricing models. With this in mind, traders, managers measure the ratio of income to risk being vulnerable and playing with a full detachment of the results. They focus on the optimization of input and output of all other considerations, in the position through the maze of temporary structures and move the markets.

Profit requires flexibility, but not too many trading strategies simultaneously, so traders focus on solid play advantage of the weakness of the crowd. They understand that success is rarely dependent on the prosecution overheated market or the game on the latest news. They are less protoptannoy track and look for the original game, which is less risk. They take some money out of the market each day, knowing that it may ultimately yield significant welfare.

Traders, managers will check the temporary nature of the market each day, tuning the position in line with the basic cycles of the market. They are always with one eye looking at the external events that can turn the rally in the sale for a few seconds. They remain informed and to seek opinions, but only trust the numbers.

Commercial management begins with this golden rule: A good entry in the bad position of making more money than a bad sign in a good position. Consider the strategy of "grabbed the money and fled," rather than to retain the position through kickbacks and turn. Increase the size of the position to take a substantial profit, but go quickly to manage risk. Learn to change the size of the positions when market conditions change. Above all, remember that comprise the best in quiet time and go at the time of increased activity.

Look for the similarities in each step of the way, from training to return. Prognosis greatly improved when the various elements of the analysis agree with each other. Suppose that each new element of the similarity of the ratio increases the reliability of the signal to noise ratio in the market of your trading instructions. When analyzing the various aspects of your build in one line, the market uncertainty can be quickly dissipated so that the price forecasting becomes absolutely clear. Proceed without hesitation, when the recovery Moving averages and trend lines act together in perfect unison.

Go to the crowd at the rollback, and stand behind it for a breakthrough. Be prepared to move against them when conditions turn endorse. Stay on the sidelines, where confusion reigns and the crowd could not determine the direction. Recognize the emotions through the numbers and become a student of psychology of the herd. Understand that each model has its own point of breakthrough, where the crowd lost control, started running, or show irrational excitement. Find this point and execute a transaction immediately before the crowd would do so.

Market orders undermine trade management, because they compel us to pursue the market. On the other hand, warrants reinforce discipline and strategic thinking in our game. They help us manage, because they are associated with a certain number of solutions. For example, consider placing orders for the opening position on a deep level of recovery and then quit. It will turn only when it will be possible to login with a low risk.

Avoid external information, which does not increase the effectiveness of your performance. Never mix of fundamental and technical analysis, because one usually is lying, while another was telling the truth. Do not let personal bias, which would destroy your trade. End of the world may come soon, but not in the next 30 minutes or three days.

Modern technology makes a good trader is better, but it will not help you lose. Effective management of trade depends more on reading the graphic image, rather than buying the latest software. As the management skills grow, you will realize that system performance becomes more transparent and less urgent in relation to your profitability.

And you realize that your only goal, when the market opens every morning, is to take money for the crowd before you pick your own.
