Manage your emotions, then manage the trade |
Manage your emotions, then manage the trade
Traders spend countless hours paper trading, studying charts and dissecting fundamentals but they often fail to prepare themselves for 90% of the challenge...emotion. DeCarley Trading believes that success is only minimally determined by strategy and knowledge. As a result, it is critical to be aware of the potential emotional obstacles that come with active trading, attempt to prevent them, identify them when they arrive, and behave accordingly. Join us for a discussion on effectively managing emotions before, during and after a trade.
Some of the topics covered will be:
o Psychological preparation for leveraged speculation
o Steps to keeping a clear mind before, during, and after a trade
o Tips to avoid the feeling of panic while trading
o Examples of emotional trading decisions and how to prevent yourself from making the wrong choices at the worst time
o And more...

What Can DeCarley Trading do for you? |
|
What can we do for you? If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, we might be the right commodity broker for you.
1. Are you trading on your own at a deep discount futures broker and consistently losing money? We cannot guarantee that you will make money trading with DeCarley, but whether you prefer self-directed online trading, or broker assisted order entry, we can guarantee that we will work hard to give you the information that you need to increase your odds of success. If you let us, we strongly believe that through DeCarley Trading client newsletters and with our multiple years of experience, we can help you to achieve your goals by encouraging patience in market entry as well as utilizing trading strategies with higher probabilities of success. If you are already struggling to make money, what do you have to lose?
2. Are you struggling with platform choices, margin variations, and the confusion of data vendors and order routing? We've done the leg work for you! Just let us know what type of trader you are and what you priorities will be; we will be more than happy to point you in the right direction in regard to choosing an appropriate platform and clearing arrangement.
3. Do you have a full time job, but want to trade futures and options? Let DeCarley help you monitor the markets and your trades. We are available nearly 15 hours per day throughout the trading week. All the while we are available to give quotes and market commentary over the phone and even send emails and text price alerts*.
4. Are you trading savvy, but not familiar with the mechanics of the commodity options and futures markets? Let us help you navigate the markets by steering you clear of illiquid contracts and offering "tricks of the trade" when it comes to the best price execution. We have direct access to the open outcry pits to execute options and option spreads, most discount online firms can't offer that. In volatile conditions, this could make a significant difference in fill quality! In addition, our relationship with floor brokers enables us to provide our brokerage clients with opinions and commentary derived directly from those standing in the trading pits.
5. Are you an option seller that can't seem to find a cooperative brokerage firm? Many brokerage firms frown upon short option selling accounts simply because they tend to involve low trading volume and theoretically unlimited risk. However, we believe short option trading (the right way) provides traders with attractive odds of success and promotes a client base that will be around for the long-haul. Accordingly, we have worked hard to provide our clients with favorable clearing and margin arrangements for short option trading that both online and broker assisted traders might have trouble getting on their own or with other brokers.
6. Do the flashing lights of a commodity trading platform encourage you to over-trade your account and in turn promote trading losses and massive transaction fees? Some of our clients are experienced traders with years of market analysis and strategy under their belt. However, they find that placing trades through a broker, as opposed to clicking and trading online, is a useful mechanism to control the human tendency to stray from a trading plan or strategy or even become too aggressive (over-trading). If paying a few dollars more per round turn can avoid paying thousands of dollars in excessive discount trading commissions and market losses, it is money well spent!

Goldman broke the gold market |
****There is substantial risk of loss in trading futures and
options.**
****Past performance is not indicative of future results**
On the radar:
• In the aftermath of the LARGEST one day drop in gold,
many of you are asking what's next for the so-called "safe
haven". The best seat in the house is from the sidelines, but
here are our thoughts.
Goldman Sachs broke the gold market's back...but panic lead it
to slaughter
All markets are subject to emotional trade, but the precious metals
markets tend to be among the worst offenders when it comes to
exuberance. This is true in both a bull and bear market; even
worse, occasional chaos can be exaggerated by margin calls because
a substantial amount of gold trading is done on leverage.
Even unleveraged...

 The
Goal of Trading should be to MAKE Money, not to SAVE Money!
Click here to view Carley's Stocks & Commodities Magazine
column on this topic.
Everyone knows that commission is baggage; mathematically, every
dollar spent on transaction costs directly reduces profits and
increases losses but there is more to commission than math. For
instance, traders paying highly discounted rates are given
incentive to over trade and there is much more money to be lost by
overzealous trading than there is in paying for a...

highlights of the Second Edition additions:
- The new reality of the commodity markets and the impact
increased volatility has had on traders
- Discussions of the collapse of two major commodity brokers
and the long term impact on traders and the industry as a
whole

The decision to trade online or through a full service broker will undoubtedly make a large impact on your bottom line. However, the impact may or may not be what you had in mind. If you aren’t ready to begin placing your orders online on your own, despite saving money on commission it may be the most costly mistake that you ever make. 
Deciding on a brokerage firm is a significant decision and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Before committing to a firm it is imperative that you research their services, experience, trading platforms and commission structure but more importantly whether your trading style and personality will be compatible. For example, a beginning trader shouldn’t look to a deep discount online brokerage firm simply because they likely won’t get the guidance that they will need as a novice. Similarly, a seasoned trader wouldn’t want to choose a firm that focuses on high-end service with a hefty price tag.
