Quick Tip: Your Niche

Dr. Brett Steenbarger, in his book Enhancing Trader Performance (must read), writes about the importance of FIRST finding your niche in trading. 

Too many new traders spend their time and money trying to find a strategy or indicator that makes money. They think that’s all there is to trading successfully. 

The more important aspect is style. What style of trading resonates with you. There are so many different markets, timeframes, and styles of trading. If you could experiment with several different “niches” you’d be way better off than simply trading just like the guy in the YouTube video. 

For example, our trading room runs 5 different strategies with edge; trend, volatility reversal, breakout, and spreads. No one trades them all. And within each I’m sure there are nuances that each trader attaches to their personalized trade plan. There is plenty of individualism. Exactly like Brett suggests. 

If your trading is not up to par, if you’re not passionate about your style, step back from active trading. Read Brett’s book. Get re-started the right way by finding your niche.
