Iron Condor

It’s been over 10 years since I first became interested in trading even more so I can still remember those first days when  I was so excited about making money from the stock market.

Back then I was always in a hurry to trade, buying shares for no reason at all just because they were up in the morning I’d believe they still had further to go. I would carry out no research on the stocks I traded not even to determine whether or not the stocks were going to rise in value. After buying the shares in particular blue chip companies I would sit by the telephone calling up the broker every 10 minutes making a nuisance of myself by asking the broker whether or not I had made money.  After a few years of losing hefty amounts of money I decided that trading was not for me and that those who were making money from trading had been given some sort of special power when they were born enabling to understand how the stock market worked.

Now that I had stop trading I would often think to myself could I have been a better trader if I studied the company fundamentals before I brought shares in them. Yes no I couldn’t make mind up whether things would have been different and would I have been a millionaire by now. The thought played on my mind for a while till I eventually started reading books on how to trade. I would read books published by warren buffet, Jim Slater of Zulu principles and even books like one up one wall street by peter lynch.

Even though I had some knowledge of how to lose money on the stock market It was good to gain more knowledge by reading from masters on the pitfalls of greed and impatience in trading.

After a year and a half of not trading and reading books night and day on the topics like how to value a company and even some books on trading options. I now felt I was ready to go back into the market so I called up the brokerage firm I had an account with to make sure it had not been closed since I had not used it in quite a while. To my relieve it was still open so I set about researching a few companies with the new learned skills I had acquired from the masters. I found some very attractive companies with the new methods I employed and now that I had learnt how to value a company by dividing the company’s price per earnings ratio by its earnings per share or let’s say growth I was able to determine whether the shares of the company  were cheap or expensive. So later that week I placed my first trade well I like to say my first trade because now I had felt I had not been trading at all, I had been gambling.

People often ask me what the simplest way to become a profitable traders is. I think deep down everyone already knows the answer before they even ask the question, yet they ask anyway perhaps hoping for a different answer.

The truth is, becoming a profitable trader is not simple at all, it takes time, money, hard work and commitment, which many people are simply not willing to give up in exchange for the valuable skills of a profitable trader.

Those who are willing to take the time to learn and nurture these skills are usually rewarded handsomely for it, through both their own trading results, and lending their experience to less knowledgable investors.

So, what is the simplest way to become a profitable options trader? Simple… Team up with somebody who already has the skills you desire, let them help you along the way, and over time you will start to develop your own trading skills and abilities. Nobody can become an overnight success trading any market, but almost anyone can learn to become a profitable trader if they have the commitment to do so.

In my experience almost anyone who is successful has got there through having a coach or mentor to advise and support him or her on their journey. This is because experience is such a great teacher, and leveraging off other peoples experience can enable you to gain a stronger level of confidence and experience far more quickly than if you were doing so alone.

The expression that “nobody needs a friend when they are making money” is so true in markets. It may be true when things are going well; however, when things go wrong you definitely need to have the ability to talk to someone who can assist you in getting back on track. Having a coach or a mentoring program is definitely a way of fast tracking years of study, and getting you to a higher level of success and therefore profitability in markets. Have mentor or a coach who has done and does what you are looking to do, not someone who has simply read a book about it is paramount.

Having real life experience in markets is crucial, and is one of the most undervalued commodities out there when it comes to starting your own particular trading activities. As such, I would strongly recommend sourcing a mentor or a coach who plays at the level you wish to play at and most importantly, listening to them!

If you want to learn how to trade options you have definitely come to the right place. Trade options and stocks are very much alike. For instance both of them are purchased and sold in the stock markets. The only thing is option holders can purchase or sell at a certain price range and during a specified period of time only. This is the way the trade options work. Stock traders are free to buy or sell stock as and when they feel like it but option traders are governed by particular time periods. That is perhaps the major difference of all between trade options and trading stocks.As is well known, anything to do with investing in the stock market or any other type of exchange involves a certain amount of risk. If you do well, you can make enough money to retire even when you in your youth or if things don’t go too well for you could lose the short off your back so to say. Hence it is very important that you learn how to trade options before you dabble in this art of trade options and stocks. You have to decide exactly how you would like to trade options and when you would want to do it; after all it’s your income that you are putting on the line. Although it is not possible to tell everything about how to trade options in this short article I will share with you some pointers that I use in my stock options trading. If you decide to use them to trade options, it is at your own risk or you may rather modify them or ignore them altogether. To start with it is better if you get familiar with the language and terms associated with the trade options before you embark on learning how to trade options. You should learn everything about stock options and trade options and how put options differ from call options. Learn about the option premiums and how they affect your trade costs. In order to become a successful options trader you have to first understand these fundamental principles. There is a vast amount of information available on the Net but you may also choose to join a newsgroup of forum for option trading so you can learn something from other option traders who have already learnt from their mistakes.When you think you are ready to use the knowledge you have acquired on how to trade options, you can begin with paper trading. Once you have gained some confidence that your paper trades are doing well, then you could consider the possibility of going in for the real trading. There are no guarantees in the stock market so make sure you downplay your risk. Try to buy trade options that have a low option premium meaning they are price at low rates so you don’t bear too much of a risk and don’t lose too much money even if you make a mistake. A lot of option traders who start out invest small amounts in several stock counters in order to get a better financial trade protection. You should definitely not invest all you have in one basket and even more so if you are a novice trader.
