I want to share three HIGHLY important things that can help you be a more profitable trader and investor.

The first thing you need to do is determine, if you're truly comfortable risking money in the market.

It's really amazing, as I've talked to many traders around the world and of course they're all really excited to make the big dollars in the market, but…

When I ask them, "are you prepared to lose money trading"? You wouldn't believe the puzzled looks that I get when I say that.

You see, they're so focused on only making money in the markets that they forget that to make money in investing you actually have to risk money.

The bottom line is, every time you enter the market you have to risk money to make money. I wish there was another way around that, but there simply isn't.

Let me ask you this, if you gave me $100, and I gave you $200 in return, how many times would you do that? I think it would be safe to say, that you would do that 24 hours a day every day for the rest of your life.

Well this is what trading is all about, in other words, you may have to risk $100 to make a potential $200 back. Without risking the hundred dollars, there is no way to make the potential $200. The only difference in trading is that you have to risk the money to make the money versus the initial example I gave you where was no risk on your part.

Successful trading involves nothing more than using a strategy that gives you a mathematical edge. For example, say you have a system that wins 60% of the time, and each time it wins it makes $200, and every time it loses, it loses $100.

Let's do the math very quickly… six times out of 10 were going to make $200, which equals $1200. Four times out of 10 you are going to lose $100, which equals $400 in losses. That means an overall were going to make $800 with a system that wins 60% of the time.

This is what trading is all about; it's simply a game of mathematical statistics. As long as your system keeps performing in the guidelines of statistics, you will come out ahead.

One of the biggest problems with mathematical statistics in trading is that traders don't like the losing part of the equation. They're all happy when they're in the 60% winners part of the equation, but when they start experiencing their 40% losers they become unglued and start second-guessing what they're doing. Whats makes things even tougher is that you never know when the 40% losers are going to show up. Many times at this point, they start researching on the Internet for another system that hopefully doesn't experience any losses.

Another really important thing when it comes to risking money in the market is that you can’t trade with scared money. What that means is, if you try to trade with money that should be for your rent or perhaps risking money that should be a going to feed your family, then what happens is…

You start focusing so much on the potential losses that you trade out of fear and as a result keep doing the wrong things.

Another thing that I can't stress enough about being profitable in the markets is that you need to be prepared to put some good old-fashioned hard work and time in learning how to trade. You would be surprised how many traders think they can just spend a few weeks learning how to trade and they're going to go turn in a $2000 in the $50,000 in a very short period of time.

Yes, there are amazing success stories of traders taking a small amount of money and turning it into a fortune in a very short period time, but… the reality is, that these cases are very few and far between.

As a side note, one of my UK students using my Trade Secrets program did turn 1000 pounds into 109,000 pounds in ten months, but… That is the exception as he truly was the "Tiger Woods" of my system.

Think about this…

When you go to college, you know that you have to spend four years there to get your degree and then even after that there are no guarantees that you're going to get a job and make a lot of money. When you first started college, you didn't have any crazy expectations that you are going to start making a lot of money in your first semester of college.

You knew that you would have to put in four years of hard work to get your degree and then you would be able to think about starting to make some real money. So, it's really crazy, when you think about it how a lot of traders think that in a few weeks or months that they can be another Warren Buffet. I will be the first to admit that I was this way too when I started out. It seemed so easy as I would look at a chart where a big move occurred and say, "wow, if I bought here and sold there I would have made $3000.' Little did I know that it wasn't quite as easy as it seemed!

Ironically, thinking that you can beat the markets in a unrealistic timeframe is going to backfire and prevent you from achieving your goals. No, you don't necessarily have to spend four years studying the markets to learn how to trade more profitably, but you do need to be realistic
