subject: Thinking Like a Winner in the Stock Market [print this page] Once someone can implement successful strategies, methods, and principles into their trading, they have taken a major step toward joining that elite 5 to 10% I was alluding to earlier. These elite traders make most of the money in the stock market and/or futures market. They also understand and implement proper trading psychology. Most of the time, normal human nature does not work, when it comes to trading the various market venues. Emotions such as greed, fear, and hope will cloud your judgement. When this happens, you really have no chance. Mark Douglas is an expert when it comes to trading psychology. He taught me how to develop a successful traders mindset. It was at this point, I became consistently successful, whether I was trading the stock market or the futures market.
