One of the key elements of any trading system is market timing. Many traders fail to account for timing when making trading decisions, and those who do often rely on their instinct of market timing rather than empirical data. The sophisticated investor uses advanced timing techniques to optimize market entry and exit. |

Movers and shakers in the stock market on Friday, June 10, included Polo Ralph Lauren (up 6.5%), Intel (down 2.7%), and General Motors (up 7.7%). Could using the Wave Principle with the charts of these individual stocks have helped a trader ride them up or down? Maybe, but take care. There's a good reason why the Wave Principle does better with market indexes than with individual stocks. But there's still a good reason to use the Wave Principle with individual stocks. Bob Prechter explains why in this excerpt from the 2004 edition of his book, Prechter's Perspective. |

1. Adopt a definite trading plan. Because of the emotional stress that is inherent in any speculative situation, you must have a predetermined method of operation, which includes a set of rules by which you operate and adhere to, thus protecting you from yourself. Very often, your emotions will tell you to do something totally foreign or negative to what your market trading plan should be. It is only by adhering to a preconceived formula that you can resist the emotional temptations and stresses that are constantly present in a speculative situation. |

If you are experiencing a run of wins, don't get getting carried away in the flush of success. You don't want to give it all back. Over Trading is the greatest single cause for losses in the markets. Whether you are winning now or losing now, ninety-five or more percent of all traders trade too often. Even a daytrader trading a five minute chart has no need to trade every day nor to trade all day long. You should be filtering your trades so that you take only the best of the best. |

The whole concept of odds and probabilities is a subject that most beginner traders avoid, but is absolutely one of every professional trader's secrets for success. Trading the financial markets is all about managing risk, nothing is 100% accurate or works 100% of the time. There is always a certain chance, certain odds, certain probability that a trade will work or wont work. Even if a trading system generates 99% chance of success, there is still that 1% chance of failure. Nothing in trading is black or white, everything is somewhere in the gray. It is the job of the trader to determine how gray the trade is, what are odds of success. The trader can then adjust their trading based on the probability of the specific trade and the probability of the trading system that he uses. By figuring out exact odds of success, the trader can figure out his edge and maintain it. |

Hey Joe! Do you think adaptation to the realities of the market is the most important thing? Many times in the past I?ve written about the need to adapt, the need to be able to change your behavior relative to the market because the markets are ever changing. I've stated that mechanical systems may be workable, but for only a short time relative to the life of markets. You must learn to trade what you see and to understand what you see on a chart. |

Bob Prechter has done a lot of thinking about how to trade successfully. One startling conclusion he's come to: traders should often avoid using stops. Here's why: If you analyze the market you're trading, you shouldn't need a stop to tell you when to get out of the trade. In fact, the point of using Elliott wave analysis is to determine where the market is in a wave count, so that you are able to see where the trend is most likely to turn. (This excerpt is taken from the March 2003 Elliott Wave Theorist, the publication Bob has been writing for more than 25 years.) |
