Build your system and trading plan

If you properly develop your skills and systems, you can treat trading as business.  Are you there yet?

Here are a few things to consider. 

  • You should build a business plan for your trading. 
  • You should develop a system for how you use your capital to engage the markets. 
  • You should develop a power team of people who will help you execute your trading plan.

To develop this, you need to pay the price.  Develop the right attitude, put in the time and invest you money to do so.  As your skills evolve, you will move from basic methods to better methods that you use to trade with.

Build a method on how to assess fundamentals, build a method on how to identify chart support, resistance, patterns and entry points.  Then you will evolve to options and more advanced spreads.  There is a system for your training and education.

Here’s the challenge of the day, what action ideas can you identify to help you move your business forward?  Write them down and prioritize them.

The best way forward is with a detailed plan.  Take the time to develop yours.
