Here are the articles/blog posts in my weekend reading list

The One Secret to Becoming a Successful Trader: The one secret to becoming a successful trader is…….. ……a myth. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying and is trying to fleece you out of your hard earned cash. There is no magic formula, no charting package, no algo that will guarantee you a profitable trading career year after year. – by Lee Gibbs – Tags: traders development – http://www.futexlive.com/blog_post.php

The Best Set-Up’s and Settings…Really?: Novice traders can usually be spotted a mile off by more experienced traders and professionals, as they are normally asking questions about the best set-up’s or best settings for indicators. Set-up’s and indicator settings alone have never made great traders and never will. Period. – by admin – Tags: traders development – http://www.thetradingframework.com/the-best-set-ups-and-settings-really/

The Complicated Life of Lazy Boys: The modern man has a major branding crisis. Most sum him up in one word: lazy. There are different ways to pronounce the word — dependent, wasteful, inept, ungrateful, complacent, unworthy, unimpressive, undisciplined — all with one root: the failure to do. – by Paul Maxwell – Tags: traders development – http://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-complicated-life-of-lazy-boys

Best Practices in Trading: Developing Trading Rituals: A ritual is something we do that has special meaning and that we perform the same way at the same time. A family might have its Thanksgiving meal rituals; most religious services are anchored by rituals; we have rituals for such special events as births, weddings, and funerals. – by Brett Steenbarger – Tags: traders development – http://traderfeed.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/best-practices-in-trading-developing.html

Best Practices in Trading: Developing a Framework for Good Trading: Too many traders justify poor trading and overtrading by appealing to “intuition”. There’s no question that intuition and implicit learning are cornerstones of pattern recognition. – by Brett Steenbarger – Tags: traders development – http://www.traderfeed.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/best-practices-in-trading-developing_24.html

The Three R’s: Winning Practices of Successful Traders: For this post, I reflected on the traders I’ve worked with who have been particularly successful and some of their common practices. Here are three practices that seem to distinguish the best from the rest:1) Reviewing and Learning – The best performers keep score. – by Brett Steenbarger – Tags: traders development – http://traderfeed.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/the-three-rs-winning-practices-of.html

The Habit of Successful Trading: New Year’s Eve 2014, as the clock wound down to midnight, my inconsistent 2014 trading year came to an end. I was already plotting my comeback for a fairy-tale 2015. As the clock struck 12, my five habitual resolutions kicked in. One. No alcohol until Easter. – by Brannigan Barrett – Tags: traders development – http://futexlive.com/blog_post.php

Making the most of your Trading Mistakes: When you start asking yourself questions about how you can improve your trading, most traders will start to look for answers outside of themselves. – by admin – Tags: traders development – http://www.thetradingframework.com/making-the-most-of-your-trading-mistakes/

Can you win at anything if you practise hard enough?: If you had enough practice, advice and expert training, could you become a success at anything? How much is achievement based on natural ability and how much hard work? For instance, could an “unco-ordinated computer geek” become a table-tennis star in one year? – by Matt Pickles – Tags: traders development – http://www.bbc.com/news/business-31945687

Why You Can’t Afford to Be a Generalist: If you consider yourself a generalist, here’s the good news: doing great work in the future will require the skills of a generalist, especially if you work independently or on a small team. And more and more of us are working independently these days. – by Corbett Barr – Tags: traders development – http://fizzle.co/sparkline/generalist

The Trading Coach — 10 Ways to Become a More Consistent Trader: I was sitting across from an ambitious new trader in Troy, NY (yes you read that correctly Troy, NY) enjoying the Brown’s Pale Ale discussing ways to be more consistent as a trader. Now most of these conversations are started by traders who were never profitable. But not this one. – Tags: traders development – http://mikebellafiore.tumblr.com/post/114600918137/10-ways-to-become-a-more-consistent-trader

Does Your Trading Style Fit Your (Real) Personality?: In the final moments of the iconic movie Wall Street, Gordon Gekko confronts his former protégé Bud Fox after discovering the wannabe set him up to lose millions to a hedge fund rival in a corporate buyout. – by Brian Lund – Tags: traders development – http://www.thetickertape.com/perspectives-trading/2015/03/trading-style-personality-17573/

The Ultimate Guide On How To Use Risk Reward Ratio Correctly: The risk reward ratio is a very controversial trading topic and while some traders claim that the risk reward ratio is totally useless, others believe it is the Holy Grail in trading. – Tags: traders development – http://www.tradeciety.com/how-to-use-risk-reward-ratio-guide/

Quantitative prop trader: ‘I wouldn’t try to raise the price of rice and starve China’: “So far you miss a speculator, the finance bad guy,” he wrote in the blog. – by Joris Luyendijk – Tags: traders development – http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/joris-luyendijk-banking-blog/2012/apr/02/quantatitive-prop-trader-voices-of-finance

An Exercise to Evaluate Your Trading: Here’s a worthwhile exercise I recently discussed with a trader. Select a measure of market trending, such as a X-period Sharpe ratio for the market. Divide the last couple of years into bullish trending, non-trending, and bearish trending periods. Select a measure of market volatility, such as VIX. – by Brett Steenbarger – Tags: traders development – http://traderfeed.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/an-exercise-to-evaluate-your-trading.html

by Gav

Here are the articles, blog posts I have collected over the week for weekend reading. I thought the list might be valuable for traders’ development.

10 Reasons Traders Lose Money In The Market: With all the fancy charts, fundamental analysis, and experience with price action, you would think that the majority of traders would be profitable. The sad fact is that most are not successful. The majority of all traders contribute to the profits of the minority that are profitable. – by Steve Burns – Tags: traders development – http://www.seeitmarket.com/10-reasons-traders-lose-money-trading-market-13891/

7 Steps to Building Trading Edge: Hey Mike, I’ve been following you for over a year now and have both your books. You post great threads too. I believe the greatest challenge is creating that edge. Its rare to come across a mentor in this industry, especially if you don’t have your foot in a prop firm. – Tags: traders development – http://mikebellafiore.tumblr.com/post/108747498852/7-steps-to-building-trading-edge

Lesson 6: Luck versus Skill: In part 6 of my 7-part series on Lessons I’ve Learned, we will look at luck and skill.

Really Simple Rules to kick start your trading year: Not another blog post of some glorious trading rules.

I shall admit that, I had this problem. – by Gav – Tags: traders development – https://tradergav.com/really-simple-rules-to-kick-start-your-trading-year/

Best Practices in Trading: Using Biofeedback to Manage Trading Stress: Daniel also mentions that considerable research supports the use of heart rate variability feedback in controlling stress and enhancing well-being.

Best Practices in Trading: Accepting Uncertainty: Success in trading requires the ability to act decisively in the midst of uncertainty.

Wait For Your Pitch!: One of the things that I’ve learned over the years in this business is to be patient. Some of the most productive days while managing a portfolio can actually be days where you don’t do a thing. Sitting there not doing anything can sometimes be the hardest thing for a human to do. – by JC Parets – Tags: traders development – http://allstarcharts.com/wait-pitch/

Agnosticism (in terms of the securities market): The above definition is the context in which I will use the word ‘Agnosticism’ in this post. I am by no means, whatsoever, referring to the philosophical, metaphysical or theological implications in which this word is often used. No one knows where a stock, commodity, etc. – by BenCBanks – Tags: traders development – http://bcbanks.dormroomcapital.com/agnosticism-in-terms-of-the-securities-market/

Most people implicitly believe something like this about their opinions. – Tags: traders development – http://paulgraham.com/ecw.html

Creativity is the New Discipline: One of the central themes of my new book is the importance of creativity in generating trading ideas with an edge. What I call Trading Psychology 2.0 emphasizes flexible adaptation to changing markets, not rigid adherence to static trading methods. – by Brett Steenbarger – Tags: traders development – http://traderfeed.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/creativity-is-new-discipline.html

Fighting for Tomorrow and Living in it Today: A shoutout to Adam Grimes for a thought-provoking post on the development of the trader as an example of the hero’s journey.

5 ways to improve your trading today: Markets are complicated. Market analysis is complicated. Developing a trading system certainly can be complicated. But trading cannot be complicated. The act of placing trades and evaluating results must be as streamlined and simplified as possible. – by Adam – Tags: traders development – http://adamhgrimes.com/blog/5-ways-improve-trading-today/

Gartley Patterns Part 2: Video lesson by Nictrade — Gartley Patterns part 2 – Tags: traders development – http://screencast.com/t/O3P4msLmuo

Chasing success: I talk to numerous people through email every week who are struggling to be successful at trading. And, I find two common traits in most of them: 1.) They trade too much – most of the people struggling make multiple trades daily, some as many as 10+ round trips. 2.) They have a lack of focus. – by Trader-X – Tags: traders development – http://traderx.blogspot.com.au/2006/09/chasing-success_16.html

The Three P’s of Excellent Trade Execution: One of the best ways to gauge a trader’s state of mind is by tracking his or her entry and exit execution. Two traders can have the exact same idea and either make or lose money depending upon how they get into and out of the market. – by Brett Steenbarger – Tags: traders development – http://traderfeed.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/the-three-ps-of-excellent-trade.html

The Big Trader’s Secret for Small Traders: Let’s be honest, everyone begins trading with the hopes of making a lot of money through their trades, maybe even enough money that they can quit their jobs and trade for a living. – by Erich Senft – Tags: traders development – http://traderkingdom.com/trading-futures-education-topics/trading-futures-basics/2959-the-big-traders-secret-for-small-traders

Learning to Become a Successful Trader: The following was posted as a comment by Ziad in reply to a post on Michael Brenke’s Blog, but I’m posting it here (with Ziad’s permission) because I believe it contains extremely valuable and genuine insights coming from a very disciplined and successful trader. – by Ziad – Tags: traders development – http://www.eminiplayer.com/2009/06/learning-to-become-successful-trader.html

Another quote from Michael Marcus: Michael Marcus mentioned some wisdoms about life of a trader in Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders. If trading is your life , it is a torturous kind of excitement. But if you are keeping your life in balance, then it is fun. – by Gav – Tags: traders development – https://tradergav.com/another-quote-from-michael-marcus/

How to Build Discipline and Conscientiousness: The recent post highlighted why conscientiousness is the single personality trait most consistently associated with life success. We commonly hear traders extol their passion for their work. Desire alone, however, is only half the success equation. – by Brett Steenbarger – Tags: traders development – http://traderfeed.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/how-to-build-discipline-and.html

Ep. 62 Tony Robbins: Money is Just A Game: James lands an interview with arguably the ultimate “Choose Yourselfer “and greatest modern-day motivational speaker, Tony Robbins. Tony talks with James about his soon-to-be-released book MONEY Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom. This might be his best book yet. – Tags: traders development – http://podbay.fm/show/794030859/e/1416321787

Turning Your Best Practices Into Best Processes: When I began working at a counseling center years ago, waiting lists for services were the norm–both at that center and across similar centers. In many cases, people had to wait weeks to begin meeting with a counselor. From my perspective, waiting lists were an accident waiting to happen. – by Brett Steenbarger – Tags: traders development – http://traderfeed.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/turning-your-best-practices-into-best.html

The Night Trader: Bryan Wiener on Trading Sacrifices and Reinventing Himself (Again): It’s 12:07am on a Friday, and I’m sitting at my desk writing this while I attend MIT. Well, kinda. I’m reinventing myself for the 4th time in my trading career. From 7pm-7am Sunday through Thursday (Friday morning really), I am watching the X Algo Project trade and kill it. – by Bryan Wiener – Tags: traders development – http://www.sanglucci.com/the-night-trader-bryan-wiener-on-trading-sacrifices-and-reinventing-himself-again/

Expanding Our Trading by Imposing Constraints: When we create new constraints, we force ourselves to adapt. This, in turn, exercises skills that otherwise might never be tapped. When I supervised interns at a Chicago proprietary trading firm, I found software that replayed the day’s market action at twice normal speed. – by Brett Steenbarger – Tags: traders development – http://traderfeed.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/expanding-our-trading-by-imposing.html

Wire Your Brain For Gratitude In 30 Seconds: At Thanksgiving many of us reflect on what we are grateful for… and what’s for dinner. While a client was discussing gratitude with me, they asked if gratitude and altruism stemmed from social constructs alone or if one’s brain could be hardwired towards feeling more gratitude. – by Christine Comaford – Tags: traders development – http://www.forbes.com/sites/christinecomaford/2014/11/24/wire-your-brain-for-gratitude-in-30-seconds/
