Did you know that 80 percent of traders fail or quit within 5 years ? Yet, 1 out of 5 succeed! The 1's with a method.

Reflecting on this statistic you might suspect that most new traders fail because they lacked a viable METHOD. You would be correct!

We encourage new traders to remember that trading is a profession. It requires a METHOD and skills must be developed.

So, let's be mindful of our expectations. Don't expect to be a millionaire by the end of the year. 

On the other hand, knowledge breeds consistency! A trader should implement a Trading Method, and be reasonable. Start small — Resolve to earn $30-40/day. Keep risk low! In other words, give yourself time to "Get the cash machine working." When you're ready, SCALE it.

I began trading in 2001. As a Georgia Tech engineer, with US Naval officer training, and background in Engineering Risk Consulting, I knew that trading successfully was about risk control and acquiring a simple but viable METHOD. In the year 2000, I had begun outlining essentials for a viable trade method:

1) Trading success was about the method.

2) Risk control happened IN that method.

3) A sum of money cannot define trading success, nor viability of a method.

4) A viable method needs REPEATABILITY.

Thankfully I discovered early on a vitally important tool for any serious-minded Trader — the stock chart. Seasoned trader, George Lane said it right:

"Fundamentalists study the CAUSE of market movements, while Technicians study the EFFECTS of all causes."

Over twenty years I studied and dissected, analyzed market moves. Using Price and Indicators (tracking alongside price) I asked one question over and over. Over 20 years, 45,000 charts. The question?

What preceded Prices swings?

If Price trended down to a LOW, what preceded a SWING up.

If Price trended up, towards a HIGH, what preceded a TURN down.

I correlated Price to various popular Indicators. I performed this exercise every stock, every trade, everyday totaling an estimated 45,000 stock charts. 

Doing this I naturally drew conclusions and cobbled together trade METHODS that worked!

Early on in 2001, using my crude methods I took $600 and systematically grew it to $16,000 within six weeks. I know…Every cocky young trader eventually meets Humility. But not just yet..

Every trade I sought to “call” the turn, a stock price swing, or market pull-back. And even a few Large market corrections. I determined to call “bottoms” and “tops” and SELL or BUY accordingly.

The effort was never about money. It was about correctly citing that which preceded any price swing or turn.

My expertise grew as did my account balance. Weeks before in 2008 I called the top. Three weeks before February 2020, I "called" the Covid market crash. 

But then it was time the meet Humility. My success highs were suddenly tempered by a losses which required a PAUSE.

Every cocky young trader eventually meets Humility. Simultaneous with calling 2020, I had unwittingly DEVIATED from methods.

I foolishly and arrogantly held a last-minute trade for the sake of MONEY. The big Win.

EVERY cocky fool trader meets the Tyranny of Greed and Emotion. The 2020 crash happened as I predicted, only a day sooner!

My refusal to accept a 20% loss, only to take a 40% loss. My METHODS lay waste for lack of discipline. The spiral cost me nearly everything. 

DUST and ASHES…😓

Yet, the set-back was the best thing that could have happened to me! I chalked up the loss as "tuition", cost of a hard lesson. “Don't be greedy and dim, Charlie. ☺️”

From the ashes, I set hards RULES. I started small and practiced discipline. I rediscovered a love for trading around renewed respect for METHOD.

I set an objective to write down those Rules comprising METHODS that WORKED, and Trading Methods was born. Soon after the concept of Trading for Income followed..
