What on earth do I do?
I was asked today what it is I do. I have replied to that private message, however, I found it thought provoking and decided to post my reply on my blog so that others, unfamiliar with me or the site, may get a better understanding of what it is I actually do at www.HowDoITradeStocks.com. I would welcome all members to contribute to this blog with their remarks and comments to help me be even clearer:
Since 2011 I have shared my signals from my trading systems via my website at www.HowDoITradeStocks.com. Recently I made a change to having up to the minute signals of my next move to be delivered via text. Members of the site can follow me and do what I’m doing, or not, it’s up to them.
I have no expectation, nor should anyone ever, follow me blindly. One of the things that is really important to me is my training course, where my aim is to teach people how to ‘fish’ for themselves. It is a well known statistic, that 95% of traders fail. I believe that is a statistic that is wholly unnecessary.
Our course, or really, series of courses, are currently free. They are not just about teaching you how to press a button, but much more importantly, about the psychology of trading, trading basics and a really good understanding of what I do and the systems I use. (I even send you home with a version of my system that you could use and never talk to me again.) Bottom line, trading is tough, but it’s even tougher if you don’t know WHY you’re doing something and you don’t have enough understanding to know you are making a good decision. My job is to arm you with that understanding and confidence to win. The training courses also arm you with a community of traders who you have met with, eyeball to eyeball, who know the emotional roller-coaster of trading, and are along for the ride with you.
If you want to know more please go to the website at www.HowDoITradeStocks.com, or by all means feel free to ask me anything else. Happy to give you more info or understanding beyond this explanation, and I know the trading community here (https://www.facebook.com/howdoitradestocks/) will be happy to fill you in as well.
And thank you for your question. It has made me realize that I have not been clear about what I do. You have inspired me to do a video to help people understand my site better, so watch this space!
My best,
John
