I never had a mentor. I want to be the mentor I never had. Today, Iāll give you five tips I wish Iād known when I started trading. A lot goes into every single trade I make. It doesn't matter if I'm trading big or small. I'm always thinking. I'm very meticulous before I risk my hard-earned money. So hereās what I wish Iād known before I got started tradingā¦ You need to prepare, plan, and be meticulous. Whatās your trade goal, your risk, and your thesis? Whatās the stockās past performance like? Have you checked out the intraday chart? Always protect yourself. Think about what you can lose in every trade. Remember, roughly 90% of traders lose. Always remember and stick to my number-one rule: cut losses quickly! Anything can happen. The longer you're in a stock ā especially a volatile stock ā the greater your risk. Singles add up. I wanted to be a millionaire when I first got started. I think most people want to make a lot of money. I wish someone had told me that the key to making a lot of money ā especially with penny stocks ā is that small gains can add up. Itās not about one trade. Itās about finding consistency. Focus on stocks that are already in play. With penny stocks, you don't need to be first ... That actually can be a disadvantage. Even if you do perfect research, even if you know everything, something could happen and the company fails. Most penny stocks fail. So focus on plays with hot news, that are moving, and that have a lot of volume. Make sure you can exit your position easily. BONUS TIP: Be flexible. Learn to adapt. Be willing to go long or short, don't just judge a company. Sometimes the most fundamentally screwed-up companies spike the most because they have the most short sellers in them ā and that creates a short squeeze. Stocks might have good news or bad news. The company might issue toxic financing, or maybe they somehow pull off a good financing. Something might happen in the overall market, and then three out of four stocks fall on the market... After over 10 years of teaching, I've become very flexible and adaptable to whatever opportunities are out there. Sometimes the best trade is no trade, but I'm always looking for a good setup with good odds. If you start to recognize which plays work, over time you start adapting to what works for you. Thatās how you find success. This is all about a game of adaptation. How quickly can you adapt to moving stocks and moving markets? What do you wish you knew before you started trading?
