Perceptions.

Successful trading often involves doing the opposite of what everyone else

is thinking and doing. If it’s logical, and everyone is thinking the same

way, it’s not likely going to make money. 

The edges lie in looking at the obvious and many times

looking to do the opposite. It helps to have this philosophy…and it further

helps to have the statistics and experience to back it up with confidence.

VIX

There are many, many strategies you can use by applying the VIX to the

market. The key thing to remember is that you want the VIX to be extremely

stretched from recent levels in order to give you a lower risk,

higher reward opportunity to enter the market

Ed's wisdom.

"I prefer not to dwell on past situations.
I tend to cut bad trades as soon as
possible, forget them, and then move
on to new opportunities." - Ed Seykota 


I think it's an idea that could be applied not just to trading, but to all aspects of our lives.
