Everyone seems to be watching something or freaking out about nukes? (That’s got to be the weirdest one I’ve noticed.) Or China’s debt / ‘unknown crisis’ or some ...

Let go of past trading results

Petri Redelinghuys 19 January 2016Latest, TraderPetri

Every once in a while we are afforded the opportunity to start again. A chance to let go of all the things that hold us back, and to pursue a destiny of our choosing. A new year has begun and with it comes new opportunities. You may be of the view that the market will ...

Resting after the trading battle

Web Admin 13 December 2015Latest, TraderPetri

Arriving at your desk each day is like descending on a trading battle - you must come prepared or you will be slaughtered. You must think up tactics to outwit your opponent and create strategies to claim small victories. You must systematically win ground. You must try to balance offence and defence, for if your ...

Slow things down a little

Simon Brown 1 December 2015TraderPetri

One of the major pitfalls that I have found in my own trading is getting stuck in a very short timeframe. I sometimes get so focused on what is happening right now that I almost start living from tick to tick. I tend to forget the longer-term timeframe and the big picture. What I mean ...

Rooting out bad trading habits

Web Admin 17 November 2015Latest, TraderPetri

Some people chew their lips or fingers while others eat pens (I am guilty of this one!). Bad habits come in all shapes and sizes and most of the time we are hardly aware of them until someone points them out. In trading though, our bad habits don’t just annoy those around us, but directly ...

Watch out for over-trading

Petri Redelinghuys 3 November 2015TraderPetri

The more I trade, the more I realise that making decisions under stressful conditions can be a real problem.

Protecting my trading confidence

Web Admin 7 October 2015TraderPetri

My last post was about how discipline is the most important aspect of trading. That much is true. In fact, I can’t think of any one thing that is more important to your success as a trader than a really healthy dose of self-discipline. The runner up though, is trading confidence. Without confidence you cannot ...

Sticking to trading rules

Petri Redelinghuys 22 September 2015TraderPetri

Let’s face it, the last few months of market action have been some of the most volatile and difficult that I, and likely many others, have ever experienced. The market has been crazy (for lack of a better term) and has given many, many mixed signals. It has been hard to stay committed to a ...
