By Andy Krieger, editor, Andy Krieger Trading As a discretionary trader, I have gone through many trading cycles – both good and bad. When I am totally in sync with the markets, nearly all my trading decisions are insightful… my timing is excellent… and the profits flow effortlessly. Somehow, I manage to execute the right trade at just the right moment. Then suddenly, without warning, I can shift into a cycle during which practically every decision I make is a loser… Try as I might, I can never figure out what causes the change. I do the same analysis and preparation… But during the negative cycles, I have a remarkable ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Even when I have the right positions, I miraculously find ways to lose money. But I’ve come to recognize that I’m never truly as good as I seem during my good cycles… and I’m never as bad as I seem during my bad cycles. Fortunately, I have always found that the pain of losing overwhelms the sense of happiness I experience when I’m winning. I believe this is what has enabled me to survive for so long as a successful trader. You see, the pain of losing keeps my ego in check. It helps me remember how fallible I am. Therefore, my trade recommendations almost always include a stop loss… or, alternatively, a limited-risk options strategy. I’ve made lots of mistakes in my forecasting and trading. It’s just human nature. Over time, though, I have almost always managed to end up net profitable. That’s because I understand something that’s crucial to trading successfully that many traders don’t… Without using a rigorous risk management system and embracing the reality that losing trades are an important part of successful trading, a trader is doomed. | Recommended Link | Markets HALTED When Mysterious Trader Quit Andy Krieger’s legend is insane… - He's on a short list of people who could be Satoshi Nakamoto, THE INVENTOR OF BITCOIN…

Whenever a big trade happens in the world… Many still wonder if Andy is behind it. And on Thursday, February 20th… We’re bringing him in to our studio and streaming him live online… So he can share a strategy YOU could use to turn every $1,000 in to $30,000 long-term. | | | -- | The Biggest Misperception in Trading All traders – professional and retail – have to come to grips with the fact that being a winning trader means being wrong a lot. For me, it’s over 40% of the time. When I’m in sync with the markets, I feel like no one can possibly trade better… And conversely, when I’m out of sync, I feel that no one could possibly trade worse. During both cycles, it feels as though some mysterious, unseen hand is guiding my every move and decision. To that extent, I have learned to take neither my winners nor my losers personally. It doesn’t mean I don’t care… I care very much. I just don’t allow bad trades to damage my sense of self-worth, or permit winning trades to inflate my ego. Learning to laugh about the bad trades and losses is hard, but it is essential to long-term success. I love the challenge of figuring out where the markets are going and trying to structure trades that either break even or generate profits – even when I have it wrong. That is not so easy, but it is often possible with the clever usage of options. But here’s where people get hung up: Making losing trades and admitting one is wrong doesn’t suggest a lack of skill or competency. Actually, owning up to and reflecting on your mistakes is a positive quality. Brutal self-honesty is essential to long-term success… and being able to take losses is part of that process. The traders who cannot do this are the ones who wind up quitting after losing a large portion of their capital, due to frustration and doubling down on bad trades. During the bad cycles, I never know what has changed or why my instincts have suddenly become so counterproductive. But I have learned to quickly identify when my timing and feel for the markets is off, and reduce my exposures accordingly. So regardless of whether I’m in or out of sync, I aim to take sensible trades with the same level of analysis. I’ve learned that if I’m patient with myself, and the markets, then I will eventually slide back in sync… and find ways to earn excellent, risk-adjusted returns. | Recommended Link | Wall St legend who picked last 2 "investments of the decade" reveals "#1 for 2020s" Picking the right "investment of the decade" can transform your life… Microsoft in the '80s… Amazon in the '90s… Apple in the 2000s… Bitcoin 2010... Any one of these could have made you a millionaire many times over. Starting with very little. Today, the Wall Street legend who picked the last two "investments of the decade"… months (even years) before his peers… will finally reveal his new #1 pick for the 2020s. It's not 5G, artificial intelligence, or the internet of things. The answer will surprise you. And, for those who take early action, it could lead to an eventual $1.6 million payout. | | | | I’ve managed this cyclical trading pattern since 1984, when I first started seriously speculating in the markets. Whether my trading is in foreign exchange, stocks, bonds, or commodities, it makes no difference. I can follow all the technical rules, do my fundamental research, and prepare myself as thoroughly and professionally as possible. I always adhere to strict money management principles. But making money when that quiet little voice is silent… the one that pops into my head when I’m on a hot streak… is, for me, next to impossible. The frustration of fighting so hard to keep my losses small when I am out of sync makes the joy of making money effortlessly all the more satisfying. The strangest part of it, however, is that my best trades have never brought me a sense of ego satisfaction. Rather, they trigger a sense of gratitude and appreciation. An awareness that, for some unknown reason, I have been given a special gift… and this gift allows me to trade effortlessly and make significant profits. Regards, Andy Krieger

And for the first time, this tiny $8 company is about to roll out this long-awaited technology.
