Beginners and Advanced Traders alike all want to know how to make money in the stock market.  But what they really need to learn is how to not lose money trading, and that is the real secret to consistent success.  Let’s talk about how you can learn not to lose money in the stock market.

Many seminars will talk about trading as a zero sum game, and that is the first falsehood most traders learn.  It is not a game. Trading is a business, a serious business that must be treated exactly as you would any other small company you own and run. Your trading business needs to make consistent profits, exponentially growing profits over time.

Most seminars teach you that it is okay to have a 40-50 percent success rate, which means that at least half of your trades are losing trades and about half make you money.  They claim that the few good trades will make up for the losses.  This is utter nonsense.

If a small store made profits on less than half of the merchandise they sold and lost money half the time, how long would they be in business?  Not long.  If a doctor was only accurate half the time with his diagnosis for his patients how long would his practice last?  If a traffic controller was only able to land half of the planes safely, how long would he keep his job?  If a bank only made money on half of its loans and lost money the rest of the time, how long would it keep its doors open? Trading is no different than any other small business.  You must make profits on a consistent basis, therefore most of your trades must be profitable.

In order to be successful in the stock market as a short term trader, you must have a minimum of a 75 percent success rate and preferably 80-90%.  TechniTrader® students achieve these success rates. 

The reason that most seminars promote a 50% success as okay is because it takes effort on the part of the teacher to help a student learn the skills of trading in order to achieve such a strong ratio. Most seminars are simply selling a software product and are not worried about helping attendees succeed because they plan to sell more upgrades  when attendees fail. Many trading systems are using computer generated signals and the ratio of success for these programs is less than 40 percent.  So they tell you that such a low success rate is okay.  But it’s not. 

At TechniTrader®, we take the opposite approach.  We insist that our students have a minimum of a 75 percent success rate before going live in the stock market.  And we back this up with the best support available, with answers to questions from our certified technical staff.  When TechniTrader® students start trading they are confident, well trained and prepared for success.  They have learned how to not lose profits and they reach their goals quickly. 

If you are losing money on most of your trades, how can you possibly be successful? You can’t and that’s the truth.  Stop learning how to lose and start learning how to make profits.
