\"trader4acause\"<\/p>\n

This weekend some trading colleagues and I attended Traders4ACause<\/a>, a charity event in Las Vegas.\u00a0 The conference is packed with live lessons for traders from traders and raises money for the charities, such as, GiveWell, BCRF, and three square.<\/p>\n

Here are 16 trading lessons learned live from Las Vegas:<\/p>\n

1. BCRF: 50 percent of cancer can be reduced thru lifestyle- smoking and obesity.<\/p>\n

2. @OzarkTrades: Phil made the most progress as a trader by reviewing his trades.\u00a0 Slowly he stopped trading his mediocre trades.\u00a0 And traded his more profitable trades with more size.<\/p>\n

3. @offshorehunters: Improve 1 percent each day over a hundred days and you can see large gains.<\/p>\n

4. @InvestorsLive: Pace and expectations are essential for the new trader to succeed.<\/p>\n

5. @Modern_Rock: You cannot compete without a professional trading setup.<\/p>\n

\"modernrock1\"<\/p>\n

6. @MonacoTrader:\u00a0 If you write down your goals you are 65 percent more likely to achieve them.<\/p>\n

7. @lx21: God gave man balls, so he could short huge size.<\/p>\n

8. @kroyrunner89: Tim developed a new rule for 2016 after some outsized losses (ex. LAKE, KBIO).\u00a0 If his position is outside his risk level, he will not add more size under ANY circumstances.<\/p>\n

9. Paul Petrillo pinch hitting for Terry Liberman: Go Cubs!\u00a0 (You had to be there.)<\/p>\n

10. @TBohen: The more disciplined you are the more freedom you have. Get stronger.\u00a0 Get faster.\u00a0 Get healthier. Get smarter. (Amen! Can you come talk to our firm?)<\/p>\n

11. @Kunal00: There is nothing more dangerous than a man with a purpose.<\/p>\n

Grateful to Kunal for this post of us:<\/p>\n

\"kunal\"<\/p>\n

12. Dr. Robert Maurer: There is no such thing as stress and rejection.\u00a0 We decide to create them.<\/p>\n

*Bonus: The only thing that matters in your life is your relationships with other people (Harvard study).<\/p>\n

**WTH was @Steenbab this year?\u00a0 How can there be a happy hour at Beer Park without him?<\/p>\n

13. @QTRResearch: Just get him on air @CNBC.\u00a0 Articulate, edgy, informative, fearless and massively entertaining.<\/p>\n

14. @D4yTrad3: Good judgment comes from experience.\u00a0 Which comes from bad judgment. (Quote of the conference.)<\/p>\n

15. @CarleyGarner: You get incredible leverage trading Futures.\u00a0 But be careful.<\/p>\n

16. @DavelandryTrdr: Trends work less than 30 percent of the time, but pay big.<\/p>\n
