Over-Analysis Paralysis
Team TRADEway • May 10, 2019
Anytime you make a big, important decision in life, you want to spend some time thinking and praying about it. However, at some point you do have to act or you're going to miss that opportunity.
As a trader, you have to understand that action becomes very important. Many times, there are going to be terrific opportunities that present themselves. You have to make the choice to act on the knowledge and training you have received.
You may begin to overthink everything at a time that you should simplify the process. Do not over-analyze. Keep these basic tips in mind:
- Start with market tone. Make sure you understand what the market is doing.
- Look for individual stocks that have patterns that line up with the overall movement of the market.
- Once you find a stock that's at a good buy point and lines up with the market tone, you have the three legs that you need for the trading table. So go in to your broker, push those buttons and get into that trade.
One of the worst things a trader can do is become paralyzed by over-analysis. Use what you have learned. If you do not put to use the skill sets you have learned with TRADEway, you stunt your potential for growth.

The long-term investing industry hasn’t really changed that much in the last 50 years as far as their message goes: ”Don’t worry about bear market crashes, just stay the course…” Many people argue that the average person on the street would be way better off if they just bought the S&P 500 and held it rather than trying to buy and sell individual stocks themselves. Well, that may be absolutely true if you have zero trading skillsets. But if you do have the kind of trading skillsets that TRADEway teaches, then the old line philosophy of buy and hold isn’t the best strategy for you. In today’s episode we’re talking about some common myths that buy-and-hold-ers propagate. Let’s get into this important discussion…

We all know that feeling… A trade is going well and you’re feeling elated anticipating taking profits. And then out of seemingly nowhere, it tanks. Man, it’s frustrating! And if this has happened to you–maybe once, maybe many times–just know, you’re not alone. You might be wondering, why did this happen? It turns out there are three common reasons why trades stop working. Once you learn these three reasons it will be easier for you to analyze your past trades and figure out what went wrong. But more importantly, once you learn these three reasons why trades stop working, you’ll be better able to prevent a trade from going south in the first place, because you’ll start to recognize the warning signs. So let’s dive in. Here are three most common reasons why people’s trades stop working.

What do you do if you’re excited about learning how to trade in the stock market but your spouse has reservations? Today we’re going to be talking about how to integrate the skill set of trading into the family, and providing some suggestions about how to share your excitement for trading with your spouse. Here at TRADEway we teach families how to take advantage of one of the most dynamic markets in history, the US stock market. But you can’t incorporate something like stock trading into your household unless there is a shared mission between husband and wife. So what do you do if you want to give stock trading a try, but you’re not sure if your spouse is “all in” on it? That’s what we’re going to talk about today.

Today we’re going to be talking about three types of traders. Over the past 15+ years we’ve trained a lot of traders through our courses, and more recently our memberships and mentorship programs. And throughout that process we’ve noticed that at the end of the day you can reduce all the various trading styles and personalities into three main groups or types of traders. My hope is by sharing these with you, it will help you identify which group you’re in, and how to advance forward in light of that.
