Feedback from a person who knew nothing about trading:
I thought it would be helpful to post my experiences as a person who is absolutely new to the world of financial trading. Like many who may be new and either who are members or taking part in a two week free trial as I did it can be overwhelming… Can’t tell you how many times during my trial I said to myself that this stuff was way beyond my abilities and knowledge levels. I mean look at Marilyns Charts how could anyone process that much information and actually comprehend what it means or how it is to be used ***(But you can and you will if you stick with it)***. I have always been a creative type so how could I possibly think that I could be a financial trader. Well I stuck with it and followed what Darrell Martin shares in his video’s. That if you put in the time and go through all the videos, spend time in the trading room, ask questions, you will be able to learn how to be a trader. Now as a “Newbie” I am no where new the level of trading knowledge and abilities of many people who are a part of Apex Investing and a part of the trading room and I am blessed with the fact that I have time that a lot of people do not, so I appreciate that the learning curve does take time each day. But each day I am gaining more and more knowledge and understanding more and more about how these systems work and how to apply what I am learning to the markets, and trade execution. And also learning how to use these tools to assess higher probablitity trades that have the foundation for being a successful and profitable trade. So this is my world hee hee!!! What I have done to help myself learn to be a trader and it has been fun, not easy by any means, but my work is paying off and their are many people here at Apex who give freely of themselves to help us all be better!!!
So this is what I do each day to help myself be a better trader:
I always attend the trading room everyday, then also print out the parts of the trading room discussion and charts, all charts from every trader and the chat that is uselful and focus’s on trading. Then I - print all the charts, then I review them to learn from others who executed successful trades and review why they were successful, and how they read the market and used the rules and system, then I review my trades and mark up my charts and see where I made good trades and also poor choices (100% of the time the poor choices are my error not the system or Apex rules!!!). I collect all my charts and discussion print outs and put them in a daily binder where I also keep all the print outs from Lori and Darrells forum posts (These are me cheat sheets during the day) I will also correlate certain comments from the room from Marilyn, Lori, TJ Yogi. Darrell etc to specific charts and discussions like setting magnets, dev levels etc so that I can review those charts with the coaching I received in relation to my questions. Then I write down my questions for the next day in the room and then on weekends I review videos, search the forum for info and again review my binder that I put all the info in from the trading week. And I also do replay on the weekends as I am really challenged in order entry not quick enough, and also learning how to process a lot of different pieces of info the puzzle to get a whole view of the market and to see if all the pieces align for a good trade with probability of success. But lets be honest I have more time then most people on my hands so I have that luxury because of some personal challenges to have time on my side and not have a job that I must also fit into the mix. So I am more impressed with those that have jobs and can still manage to det in here and to great work!!!
So if you are a “NEWBIE” like me stick with it I promise it will get easier and then one day you will look at Marilyn’s CL Elite Chart and actually understand what all that stuff means and how it will keep you in good trades, and out of bad ones and in the end make money which is what we all want to be successful!!! So blessings to you all!!!
