3 Easy Ways To Improve Your Trading

Last week I hosted a webinar “Elevate Your Trading Game”

You can watch a recording of that here.

Towards the end, I shared what I believe are ‘easy wins’ for a trader. Easy wins as in quick minor adjustments to improve your trading performance.

Here are my top 3.

1 Take fewer trades

Most traders trade too much. And I get it, trading can be fun… But every time you take a trade you are risking capital. Is every trade you take really worth risking capital on? Probably not. 

2 Limit the number of trades on the same idea

Taking a trade, getting stopped, taking another, stopped… You get the idea. We’ve all been there. Drop the ego. Have a few goes at the trade and then leave it. Wait for the next market sequence, you don’t need to keep chomping away at that one small idea. Preserve capital.

3 Have a hard daily stop-loss limit

Does this need any explanation? You might “get it back” but you and I both know once you dig that big red hole for yourself, recovery is slim and the chance of trading on tilt is high. Have a hard stop, then when you hit it, do the tough thing and walk away.
