How to Change my Financial Future - 2/24/13


I credit my friend Ram for this contribution. It is well worth sharing….

A good setup idea can change my financial future forever.....

If I do not understand the concept behind setup selection I will struggle for many years.
Scanning for stocks is not going to help me.  Preparing elaborate watch lists is not going to help me.  Unless I understand setups as key to profitable trading I am unlikely to make much money.
IBD method might be about momentum/growth but ultimately it boils down to setup and IBD has very strictly defined setups.
Same way any successful trader has well defined setup and then they exploit it day in and day out in favorable market conditions.
If I have well defined setup, I would be able to instantly recognize good opportunities and enter or exit them.
If I have well defined setup, I will be able to prioritize ideas and not waste time on marginal stocks or others ideas.
If I have setup oriented mentality.  I will ask everyone who posts trade idea to find out what setup generated that trade.
If I have well defined setup I will know instantly your entry, exit stops rules and not be a clueless person post entry.  I will not be asking others what I should be doing.
If I have well defined setup, will not be easily influenced by any and every new tactic people talk about or sell as the new thing.
If I have well defined setups I would not be making new rules and adjustment every day.
If I have well defined setup I don't need CNBC, Cramer site, or any other distraction. All I need is software to generate my setup idea and my own guidelines
Setup selection is the only way to eliminate the problem of cognitive load involved in trading.
Sooner I understand the better it is.  Key to "profitable" trading is setup selection.
In the  beginning  I must master just 1 or 2 basic setup.  It will take me 3 to 6 months to perfect it. 
I just need one or at best two well defined setup ideas to make lot of money in the market.
A good setup idea can change my financial future forever.....
