5 Tips to Becoming a Better Trader

Sharing concepts that have helped me become a better trader

Rising to the Challenge

The world of investing can be overwhelming. It’s difficult to find a good place to start when there is so much to learn. When I started building Food for Theta at the start of 2016, I was a total beginner and had only learned what
were in the fall of the previous year. Through time, experimentation, and a bit of an obsession, I slowly but surely began to find my bearings as a trader. I've adopted several handy techniques over the years but five practices in particular stand out as invaluable to my success:
  1. Distance Over Speed
  2. Winning is a Gift, Losing is a Skill
  3. Cost Basis Improvement is the Heart of a Good Decision
  4. Creative Documentation
  5. Stay Small, Stay Liquid
