les mythes en matière de trading selon Les Schwartz

1.  Le premier mythe est que vous devez vous classer dans une catégorie
    de traders: je trade le Russell eMini ou le FOREX. Non, selon lui, 
    on trade là où il y a de l'argent à faire.  

2.  Le second mythe est que vous devez être capable d'identifier «patterns», 
    «waves»,«retracement levels» etc pour être un bon trader. 
    Selon lui, tous les instruments que l'on peut inventer pour prédire restent
    imparfaits et faillissent peut-être autant qu'ils réussissent.  

3.  Le troisième mythe est que vous devez payer un fournisseur de signaux 
    de trading et suivre ses directives pour être gagnant. Ce mythe, 
    personnellement je ne l'avais jamais lu ailleurs sauf sur les sites 
    des vendeurs de ces services. Mais si vous lisez les mises en garde
    de fin de présentation de tous les services, logiciels et autres que l'on
    vous offre, vous verrez toujours qu'il n'y a aucune garantie de succès 
    vu le caractère «imprévisible» du marché des devises ou de tout autre 
    marché financier.  

 Il est d'intérêt de lire ce genre de texte pour se remémorer les divers autres
 textes que nous avons lus antérieurement et ainsi faire le point. D'ailleurs je vous fais aussi ma mise en garde. Je vous informe de cette documentation 
 pour que vous en disposiez à votre guise et selon les convictions qui vous animent dans 
 votre activité de trader de devises. Il nous faut en tout temps faire notre critique personnelle 
 de tout ce que les autres nous offrent. En complément, je vous transmets les textes originaux en anglais. «The first myth about trading is that you have to identify what kind of 
 trader you are. ("I trade the Russell eMini" or "I trade Forex.") Wrong! Trading is about making money, not putting yourself "in a box." There is no rule that says someone who usually trades stocks can't trade 
 forex. There is no reason why a forex trader can't take advantage of a run-up in 
 crude by buying oil futures. I can't tell you how many times someone has said to me something like 
 "I trade the Dow eMini on a one minute chart and I'm getting killed!! 
 What should I do?" The answer is obvious. "Don't trade the Dow eMini 
 on a one minute chart. Trade something else." Successful traders must have open minds and be versatile. When you are 
 looking for something to trade, you should have only one demand: "Show me the money!" The good news is that with DecisionBar, you can trade any true market. 
 All markets show a basic rhythm based on supply and demand, support and
 resistance, momentum and exhaustion. The second myth about trading is that you must be able to identify patterns,
 waves, retracement levels, etc. to be a successful trader. Wrong! This borders on insanity and is the last thing you want to concern yourself 
 with. For every successful pattern you show me, I can show you five examples 
 of the same pattern that failed. This is an invention of the Trading Mafia(those guys who line their pockets 
 by spreading misinformation) to keep you convinced that you need them 
 and can't possibly be a profitable trader on your own.
 It kind of reminds me of a book I saw once: "99 Ways to Beat the Horses." My though was that if just one of them worked, you wouldn't need the 
 other 98! After you learn how to consistently take money out of the market using 
 DecisionBar Trading Software, you can experiment with chart patterns to 
 see if they can improve your profitability, but as a means of attaining 
 profitability, they are useless. DecisionBar is the culmination of my 19 years of trading experience. It 
 generates trading signals in real time so you can get in on the big market 
 moves and ride them for all they are worth. Learn more about how you can

 The third myth about trading is that you will benefit by paying a trading 
 service and following their trading selections. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! You must understand that trading is a solitary endeavor. You are trading 
 against other traders. If you were a boxer, would you discuss your next punch with your opponent?
 Of course not! When I day-trade stocks, I often buy a thousand shares of a
 stock for a trade. If just one other trader is trying to make the same trade, it could push up
 the price of the stock I'm trading. On a thousand shares, a difference of 0.01 in price means that I must pay an
 extra 10.00 for the stock. A difference of 0.10 means I have to pay an extra
 100.00 for the stock. If I tried to make the exact same trade, at the same time, as say 100 other
 traders it could cost me thousands of dollars a week in missed trades and
 bad fills. If you don't think that the same thing can happen in a huge market, like the
 forex market, think again. The forex market is segmented by broker, and any
 forex trader will tell you that bad fills can be a problem. Trading services and trading chat rooms are filled with "wanna-be's." When
 you purchase DecisionBar Trading Software, you become a real trader. Stay
 away from the wanna-be's. Just to give you fair warning, the membership fee to become a DecisionBar 
 trader is the lowest it will ever be. I may be raising the rate soon. To lock in the lowest price possible, please go immediately to: >>> http://www.DecisionBar.com Good Luck & Good Trading, Les Schwartz P.S. Those who become DecisionBar traders rarely ever leave. Why? Because
 they are making more money trading than ever before. You'd pay for trading
 software that actually worked, wouldn't you?»
