Stage One: The Clueless Trader
- Heard of a day trader making millions, or buying options is safe and can make you rich quickly
- Beginner Luck in first few trades.
- You will buy just to see the market reverse and you will short just as the market starts to rally. Someone is tracking my trades and making me lose money.
- Most of your trades are done emotionally. You buy just because the markets feel strong without any logical reason
- You have no clue how the mechanics and psychology of trading works. What’s worse? You are not aware that you don’t know.
- Most traders will blow their entire account multiple at this stage.
- Mostly you start your trading in fag end of bull market
- You will spend more time finding a broker charging least brokerage.Tracking World Markets, Bitcoins instead of making a trading plan for next day.
- A big majority of people will leave trading and blame the randomness of markets, or say markets are always manipulated
- You don’t know what is short selling or have never tried it, no idea of stop loss as well
- You are in the unconscious incompetence stage, at this stage, your capital is at maximum risk
