Plan Your Trades for Better Results
Introduction
In trading, the adage "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail" holds especially true. We don’t intend to fail when we start trading, yet that’s exactly what happens when we dive in without a solid strategy.
The Importance of Planning
Finding quiet time to develop your trading plan is crucial. I understand the challenge?"as a parent of a two-month-old, squeezing in moments of calm is tough. However, dedicating focused time to assess current trades, plan future ones, and maintain a diversified portfolio can significantly impact your success.
Steps to Planning Your Trades
1. Set Aside Time for Planning
- Devote 30 minutes to an hour daily to planning your trades.
- Consistency is key; don’t let minor distractions derail this schedule.
2. Review Market Calendars
- Use resources like Dedicated Trader to check economic events and earnings announcements.
- Being aware of significant events allows you to tighten stops and seize trading opportunities.
3. Analyze Market Trends
- Begin with a chart of the S&P 500 to gauge market conditions.
- Align around 75% of your trades with the market trend for higher success rates.
- Diversify by identifying stocks that defy overall market trends, balancing bullish with some bearish plays.
4. Select Individual Stocks
- Utilize tools like Ultimate Scans to find stocks and sectors with strong technical patterns.
- Diversify across top sectors to minimize risk and maximize potential gains.
5. Set Alerts and Orders
- On days when you can monitor intraday charts, set alerts for entry or exit points.
- If time is limited, use contingency orders to automate trades, ensuring you can execute trades without constant oversight.
6. Manage Existing Trades
- Regularly check your current trades and adjust stops as necessary to protect your investments.
