INDICES STRATEGY
Our Stock Index approach is exclusively geared towards initiating bullish trades. This is founded on the principle that stock values tend to appreciate over the long term: consequently, the indices tracking these stock movements are generally expected to trend in an upward direction over extended periods. To execute a buy trade, we will await a price pullback and buy at those dips.
TREND DIRECTION
· BULLISH BUY TRADES ONLY
· WAIT FOR RETREATS - PURCHASE THE DIPS.

MINDSET & PSYCHOLOGY
- Trade without Emotions (greed, fear, anticipation, impulse, bias, over-excitement)
- I trade what my eyes see & not what I feel.
- I'll be patient.
My responsibility does not include being the system!
It's not to make a decision which trades looks promising and which does not.
That's the job of my system. My system has a set of rules which tell me this is what I follow. Do not get caught-up in the price action & make your own rules as you go along.
MY JOB IS
to be patient and wait for my system to indicate when it's time to enter or exit. I then carry out the trade position as intended, with the utmost focus.
The typical results of making trades that the trade system doesn't provide, second-guessing the system, not taking trades that are given, hesitating and entering late, and anticipating and entering early are all due to a lack of faith in the system and a lack of urgency in carrying out transactions accurately.
Goal: Build full focus to master my indices system. Execute it with perfect accuracy.
The better you get at stepping back from market moves and watching calmly, the easier it is to spot your emotions. Wait for a clear trade signal. Don't let feelings pull you in and mess up your plan.
WEAKNESS
- I am greedy.
- I over-trade
- Make a list of all your weaknesses which are interfering with your trading. This is the first step to help you to over-come the these weak-nesses. Use psychology to help you overcome them.
Note: As you trade, you will start to notice your flaws if you write them down: once you do this, you will begin to avoid these errors, and your trading will get better.
GOALS
- To focus on the exit signal just as much as I do on the entry.
- Always protect my account using stoploss order, money management strategies, trading with the trend and always following the trading rules of my system & plan.
- Never second guess or go against my system. To always keep up my discipline.
- Follow all the rules of my system and never break them.
- Trade fewer times and execute all my trade transactions correctly. Trade what I see, what the trading system + charts are telling me.
- Sit patiently and wait out for signals from my strategy.
- Achieve consistent profitable results.
Write down goals and focus on achieving these goals and objectives on your trading
