If you are new to trading and think it’s just about making money, consider these remarks by Bella from one of the posts below: “If you are not a disciplined person, then your trading most likely will be undisciplined. If you struggle being patient as a person then you will as a trader. If you crave action in real life, you will overtrade.” Lack of discipline, impatience, too eager for excitement, these are hallmarks that are typically associated with new traders. However, that you are reading these words means you have come to the right place because SMB provides a number of powerful techniques that can help you acquire the discipline and rein in that impatience—and many of these techniques are not readily available elsewhere.
It’s been said that trading is gambling. Not true. To quote one of the best traders on the street (from one of the blogs below), “Good trading is the polar opposite—disciplined, cautious in its approach to risk, and demonstrating a clear edge.” These are the qualities that make for a successful trader. In other words, great trading is all about careful risk management. All too often many new traders will burn out quickly in their rush to get rich—and who doesn’t want to get rich?—but getting there means acquiring knowledge and doing the necessary hard work. And once you have that knowledge and have done the work… well, to quote Warren Buffett, “Wait for the fat pitch.” But to know this pitch, to see it, to act on it: these are skills that SMB can teach you, and the blog posts below will help you to become the trader you want to be.
