Waiting until the most profitable opportunity presents itself can reduce your losses in trading futures and options. But how do you know?
Trading in futures, options, and the Forex market is both seductive and anxiety producing because of the potential for big rewards, but also the possibility of significant losses. These types of trading require constant, complicated, minute-by-minute decision-making, which can lead to acute and chronic stress.
According to Angelika Dimoka, Director of the Center for Neural Decision Making, “With too much information, people’s decision making makes less and less sense.” When we are presented with too much information – as can happen in trading – the region of the brain responsible for making decisions shuts down and we lose our ability to make the best choices. We also become frustrated and anxious. As reported in Newsweek by Sharon Begley (“The Science of Making Decisions” February 27, 2011), with information overload, even experts become cognitively impaired and mentally exhausted, and they lose the ability to make good decisions.
Stress has a negative effect on us, physically, emotionally, and mentally. So how can we manage stress and create financial freedom? First, we must arm ourselves with proven methods and education, such as that offered by the Priceline Trading System.
Discipline is also required. Perhaps you are overly involved with the second-by-second moves of the markets and your positions, rather than focusing on the big picture. All investors experience symptoms of stress when the market is wildly going up and down, producing dozens of pips in a matter of seconds. When your account goes red, perhaps you question your decision to enter into a position in advance of the inflation report. Do you take your losses – even as you wonder whether you are selling at the worst possible price – or should you hold back and take a long-term view?
The stress arising from trading can be minimized in specific and general ways:
Traders across all markets experience the emotional stimulus of trading as a result of the risk and uncertainty involved. This stress is felt in the body and includes symptoms such as increased heart and respiratory rates, and a feeling of panic, as if there is an impulse to “fight or take flight” away from perceived danger. Stress is often viewed in negative terms, but it does get our attention and prompt us to make changes, which, in turn, can help prevent further stress.
Investors are “green” or “red,” depending on the state of their positions at any given time. By learning the Priceline System, any investor can experience more “green days.” Priceline can educate you in timing the market and making the most profitable choices. After ten years of research, we have discovered the best possible price entry method determined prior to market open. It only takes about one minute per market to plot your entries for the day.
At Priceline, we trade our program live and teach our exclusive members how to harness the key support and resistance levels in the market, and to create the highest probability entry points. We also show how to calculate to the tick where the market has the highest probability of making a short/long-term correction. Knowing what your entries will be in advance with no indicators prevents stress and results in more confidence and peace of mind.
With our staff of great teachers and experienced day traders, Priceline is fundamentally different than any other educational investment system. By shadowing our trades and using our “turnkey system” to plot your entries before the trading day begins, you can gain a significant amount of income, even as you are gaining an education.
FUTURES, OPTIONS, AND THE FOREX MARKET
The U.S. futures markets began in 1865 with agricultural futures contracts traded on the Chicago Board of Trade. However, these markets have expanded to include a variety of instruments, including metals, energy, financial instruments, foreign currencies, stock indexes, prediction markets, and event futures.
A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset, such as a stock index, physical commodity, or financial instrument at a date in the future. This type of investing can result in huge rewards, but it can also produce significant risks. How can we know for certain what the future holds? Estimating the future can be scary and produce stress and anxiety.
An option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell a certain asset at a specific price at any time during the life of the contract. A futures contract gives the buyer the obligation to purchase a specific asset, and the seller to sell and deliver that asset at a specific future date, unless the holder's position is closed prior to expiration.
As with other types of investing, off-exchange foreign currency trading involves a high level of risk, and investors need to understand the language of the Forex markets before trading. Whether you are trading on exchange or off-exchange, the Priceline Trading System can aid in your success.
Rather than becoming stressed by the ups and down of the financial markets, look for wisdom in time-tested, academic methods. Once your high-quality investment plan is set up, relax and let your investments compound, understanding that your plan is rooted in knowledge, not guesswork. Knowledge is primary when investing.
