Learning To Function In The Nasdaq Stock MarketProvided By Ultimate Trading Systems Successful Trading In The Nasdaq Stock Market Requires A StrategyNothing we do in society prepares us to function effectively in an environment with no real boundaries, like the nasdaq stock market. But most of us are brought up to function well in society, so we've acquired strategies for fulfilling our needs and desires that are geared toward social interaction and acceptance. We dont just take what we want we take other people into consideration, too. Not only have we learned to depend on each other to fulfill our needs and desires, but in the process we've acquired many socially-based techniques for assuring that other people behave in a manner that is consistent with what we want. The nasdaq stock market may seem like a social endeavour because there are so many people involved, but they're not. While we may have learned to depend on each other to fulfill basic needs, the market environment is different: its every person for themselves. Not only can you not depend on the nasdaq stock market to do anything for you, but its extremely difficult to manipulate or control anything that the nasdaq stock market does. If you've become effective in your personal lives at fulfilling your needs and desires by learning how to control your environment, but are existing as a trader in an environment that does not know, care, or respond to anything that is important to you, what do you do? You take control. One of the principal reasons so many successful people have failed at trading is that part of their success, outside the nasdaq stock market, is due to their ability to control their social environment. To some degree, everyone has developed techniques to make their external environment meet their needs and desires. The problem is that none of those techniques work with the nasdaq stock market. The nasdaq stock market doesnt respond to control and manipulation, unless you're a very large trader. However, you can control the way you deal with nasdaq stock market information and your own behaviour. Instead of controlling your surroundings so that they fit your idea of the way things should be, you can learn to control yourself. Then you can view information objectively, and choose to behave in a manner that is in your own best interests. You do this by creating rules to trade by, and following them. Nearly everyone agrees that you need to have rules to be successful in the nasdaq stock market, but most traders have no intention of following any. Most people who are interested in trading resist the idea of creating a set of rules. The resistance may be subtle, but its still there. Often this is a response to how we acquired our first set of societal rules. Most of the guidelines we live by were given to us by our parents, relatives, teachers, or friends when we were children. These guidelines were taught to us, we did not create them, an important distinction. During this time, many of our natural impulses to move, express, and learn about the nature of our existence through our own direct experiences, were stifled. Some of these impulses were never reconciled, and can still exist inside of us as frustration, or disappointment. The accumulation of these types of feelings can cause people to resist anything that keeps them from doing whatever they want, whenever they want to. The very reason most people are attracted to trading in the nasdaq stock market, (the unlimited freedom of choice and decision-making inherent in trading in the nasdaq stock market), is the same reason they feel a natural resistance to rules and boundaries. The need for rules may make perfect sense, but its difficult to generate any enthusiasm for these rules when you've been trying to break free of them most of your life. It usually takes a great deal of effort to break down a traders resistance to establishing and abiding by a trading regime that is organized, consistent, and reflects prudent money-management guidelines. But once they do, the possibilities for attaining consistent trading success in the nasdaq stock market are limitless.
