Trading and Investing Imperatives

 

Summary: We explain what is needed to be a consistent trader or investor and formulate the action steps to chose and follow. Read on and watch the video.

We distinguish trading or investing by the time of holding a position:

-      Trading: shorter-term like day trading (opening and closing positions the same day or Swing-Trading (holding position for a couple of days)>

-      Investing: holding positions for multiple days, weeks, months.

About 80 million people have IRA or 401 (k) accounts in the US, mostly focused buy-and-hold. About 25 million margin accounts are held, with about five million frequent traders trying to control their financial destiny and do not leave it up to a money manager.

Unfortunately, only a small percentage of the traders/investors understand trading imperatives and why they are essential for long-term success.



At a 50:50 chance, 76% of the private investors lose money, even by copying the most successful traders' entries.

What is missing?

An easy explanation:

When you know or can copy successful entry strategies: Stop, and positive exit are still unknown variables that need to be controlled to achieve trading and investing success.

Let us talk about stops first:

·       Tight stops lead to always being stopped, and then trades commences in the desired direction, and you are not part of it.

·       Wide stops: then risk and reward get out of balance, and you lose more than you win, and such, trading has a negative outlook.

This is where you need a system that tells you how far a price move most-probably will last and where to place your stop for bringing your trade to target without being stopped on the way.

In essence: Perfect entry conditions, like in stock tips, still will not make you a profitable trader.

Bringing the critical variables together: Mechanical, clearly defined rules are needed from your system to make you a profitable trader or investor:

-      System defined entry

-      System defined exit

-      System defined stop

Important: Rules are of need, regardless of the time you intend to hold a position.

Let us talk about average attainments of money managers and private investors in IRA and 401(k) accounts, where most leave their financial future up to money managers:

95% barely make it to produce results as the index: S&P 500, DOW, NASDAQ, Russell, others:

Fidelity Software and IT Fund compared to S&P 500



The chart shows a six-month comparison, and the Fidelity Fund performed negative 3.1% below the overall market. However, for technology, we should compare against a technology index and do so:

Fidelity Software & IT Fund compared to XLK (SPDR ETF)



Compared to XLK, the SPDR Technology ETF, Fidelity had a negative 9.2% development.

If you do not care about your money, nobody else will!

The key to successful longer-term investing is operating with a system to tell when to buy or sell:

Swing Trading Example: AAPL Daily Chart



On January 20, 2021, the NLT Top-Line indicator and scanner reported an opportunity:

·       Buy if the price development of the next candle > $132.49

·       The price threshold was surpassed on January 21, 2021

·       The second dot on the chart indicated the exit or target: 138.47 (4.5% return on cash, 9% on margin in one day)

·       This target was reached on January 21, and the trade either was closed or trailed with the red stop-line on the chart, and you would still be in it.

Swing Trading Example: JPM Daily Chart



On January 6, 2021, the NLT Top-Line indicator and scanner reported an opportunity:

·       Buy if the price development of the next candle > $132.77

·       The price threshold was surpassed on January 7, 2021

·       The second dot on the chart indicated the exit or target: $140.13 (5.5% return on cash, 11% on margin in 5 days)

·       This target was reached on January 12, and the trade either was closed

·       On January 15, 2020, the alarm bells were ringing on JPM, indicating that the stock has a high tendency for falling prices, and it happened when the system spelled out price threshold was surpassed to the downside

Day trading in itself is another limited risk strategy by preventing the risk of overnight gaps. Here is a recent example:
