Patience, (and practice) is a Virtue
The smartest thing you can do as a newcomer to active trading is make your mistakes cheap.
Jesse Livermore once said:
“After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: it never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!"
The last two years have been an incredible journey for new traders.
In February 2020, stimmy checks were flowing and people were learning about meme stocks in their house pants. Armed with only a Robinhood account and their Reddit friends, a whole new generation of traders was born.
In 2022, new traders learned that the Trading Gods can be cruel. You get addicted to the rush of winning. It’s amazing to see beginners' luck when everyone is doing it.
Beginner’s luck is another one of those cruel jokes the Trading Gods like to play on all new participants and get them hooked to the rush of feeling of winning.
But what happens when “buy the dip” no longer works? Then it becomes time to sit and reinvent yourself.
2022 has been a year for traders who want to take it to the next level, using the proper tools. Trade Ideas trade-ideas.com/wolf has all the tools for those that want to do it right.
