I understand the concept of trading stock, I have played around with demo accounts before but I don’t understand what I am doing when i do it. Is there actually a strategy to it all? How do I know how to “look before I leap” and make the correct trade decision. If I trade on something and it dumps, is that ok? Am I supposed to just hold on to it until it goes back up? or is there a trade “time out” where I can’t just hold onto it and wait it out?

I would like to learn investing as it seems like an important thing to know, I am amazed public schools don’t teach this stuff.

I have been researching the stock market for close to an average of 3 hours a day for two months. Everything from basics to technical analysis to fundamental analysis to options, strategy, and all the infinite sub-divisions of each of those categories. Every night, I go to sleep with the feeling that I learned more than I usually do in a year. Eventually, although I constantly have to push it back, i want to begin doing studies before I trade (which will also take a few months itself I’m sure). I want to start this period when the amount of new information I learn from research is finally less than what I can learn from studies. I know it is a really abstract question, but anyone have any estimates on how long this will take, or how long this took for you?

ok i just read a book by Curtis Faith the best turtle trader… i have been trading for about 3 1/2 years and i found out that me and him use about the same strategy.. What i do is look for patterns on a weekly chart… i see where the lows and high are and make a bet so to say.. i put in a trailing stop order for 3% that way if the stock goes up i make money but as soon as i drops 3% it sells… sometimes i just let it run for a week or 2 as long as it dosent start a reversal in the pattern as soon as it does i short the stock and cover when a reversal is reached but by cutting loses at 3 - 5% and letting the profits run you can be wrong 7/10 trades and still come out ahead… i have been doing this consistantly my average annual return is now 192%! i am up 392.2% YTD before the crash i was up 350% then during the crash my account went down to about 330% and now im up!!! do you think i could become a hedge fund manager with this strategy??? im gonna practice it for the next 10 years and if successful i should have atleast XX millions to start a fund.. but will investors invest in a fund like this??? i mean technically im taking little risks right?? i never put more than 30% of my capital in anyone trade if i did tho i would make even more!!
however im not an ivy league grad im a simple trader with no life LOL
would hedge fund investors love to invest in my fund could i be the next like paulson
but im mostly right like 6 or 7 times out of 10 trades
i do it with real money and as a turtle trader we trade without emotions we dont care if we lose or win as long as we stick to the strategy and cut the loses and let profits run and yes i do it both long and short
