If you struggle being patient as a person then you will as a trader. If you crave action in real life, you will overtrade.\u201d 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\u2014and many of these techniques are not readily available elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s been said that trading is gambling. Not true. To quote one of the best traders on the street (from one of the blogs below), \u201cGood trading is the polar opposite\u2014disciplined, cautious in its approach to risk, and demonstrating a clear edge.\u201d 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\u2014and who doesn\u2019t want to get rich?\u2014but getting there means acquiring knowledge and doing the necessary hard work. And once you have that knowledge and have done the work\u2026 well, to quote Warren Buffett, \u201cWait for the fat pitch.\u201d But to <em>know<\/em> this pitch, to <em>see<\/em> it, to <em>act<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to get started? there are many more things you need to be aware of so if you are serious about trading, make sure you have time for some fun reading:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/readers-share-are-you-ready-to-trade-professionally\" target=\"_blank\">Are you ready to trade professionally?<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/five-things-i-wish-i-knew-about-trading-when-i-started\" target=\"_blank\">Five things i wish i knew about trading when i started<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/traders-ask-what-to-do-before-you-start-your-trading-career\" target=\"_blank\">What do to before you start your trading career<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/what-is-the-best-preparation-to-be-a-trader\" target=\"_blank\">What is the best preparation to be a trader<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/how-long-does-it-take-to-learn-to-trade-forex\" target=\"_blank\">How long does it take to learn to trade<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now all you have to do is find out if trading is for you, <strong>do you have the passion to be the best you can be?<\/strong> Need help?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mike Bellafiore<\/p>\n<p>mbellafiore@smbcap.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/One-Good-Trade-Competitive-Proprietary\/dp\/0470529407\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1357332711&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=one+good+trade+mike+bellafiore\" target=\"_blank\">One Good Trade<\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: url('http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/images\/email\/banner-contacus3.jpg'); width: 500px; height: 165px;\">\n<div style=\"width: 500px; height: 165px;\">\n<div style=\"width: 470px; height: 160px; float: left;\">\n<div style=\"padding-top: 40px; padding-left: 30px;\">\n<div style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 24px; color: #ffffff; padding-top: 8px; line-height: 110%;\">To learn more about training with SMB U<br \/>\ngive us a call <span style=\"color: #f60;\">646-845-4265<\/span> or<br \/>\nemail us to <a style=\"color: #f60; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"mailto:trading@smbcap.com\">trading@smbcap.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/tf130.infusionsoft.com\/app\/form\/iframe\/7cf17035718b6a4c6032cb267ec45956\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 9th 2013 If you are new to trading and think it\u2019s just about making money, consider these remarks by Bella from one of the posts below: \u201cIf you are not a disciplined person, then your trading most likely will be undisciplined.
