Reach Your Goals By Getting Better At Trading Smaller
Team TRADEway • May 7, 2019

Get better at trading smaller and build up your confidence, so that you get momentum moving forward.
Start with trying really hard to make $100 on a trade, because if you can make 100 with one contract, if you do the exact same thing with 10 contracts, you would make $1,000. If you did the exact same thing with 100 contracts, you would make the $10,000 you desire.
If you aren't in a position to make $100 with one. then what makes you think you're ready to make $10,000 with 100?
What you will find is that if you consistently make money, month after month, with a few contracts, you will naturally be inclined to trade with more. You are building positive momentum. This is the way to reach your goals. Get better at trading smaller.

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.
