"Piggybacking" tactics and the fight against gaps
While speculating in the market, the trader can fall into prostration, which is very dangerous for his purse. This happens mainly in two cases.
The "pig" way of trading
Case One: the speculator entered the market very large lot. Этот способ торговли называется «свинским». Таким методом можно достаточно быстро заработать крупную сумму денег, конечно, можно не меньшую потерять. Вот как это происходит. Коммерсант ищет точку входа. Когда подходящая ситуация появляется, он мгновенно действует. Если трейдер заходит непомерным лотом, он абсолютно не прав. График в краткосрочном периоде очень хаотично движется. Можете спросить об этом у каждого профессионального трейдера, он это подтвердит. Побледнеть при крупном лоте до невозможности просто. Допустим, у вас на счету была крупная сумма – 80.000 долларов США. Вы «скупились» на рынке огромным лотом, например — 80! Ваши деньги сначала начали увеличиваться. 85 тысяч, 90 тысяч…но потом рынок развернулся. Снова 85 тысяч, потом 80, потом 70. Вдруг вам становится дурно.
You realize that you can lose all your savings in a matter of minutes. Your face becomes pale as chalk. What to do? When you took this step, we did not advise you to do so. And this time it is too late to advise. The schedule can both destroy and multiply your money. "Piggybacking" tactics is not at all effective - in case you earn, you will soon lose all funds anyway. Don't speculate in huge volumes, and you won't have to go pale! Under no pretext, ever in life, under any circumstances do not be a "pig"! Only beginners do that. Be collected, sensible and thoughtful! Don't forget that "pigs" are slaughtered in the marketplace.
Fighting gaps
Case Two: The speculator ran into a price gap. Gaps are common in the grain market, other commodity markets, and the stock market. Very dangerous are the stocks of companies. No one knows what goes on behind the scenes of beautiful company buildings. The stock of a world-famous company was slowly going up. Suddenly, one day, the stock market opened down, a stock that was worth $61 suddenly opened at $53. For many speculators, this can be an extraordinary occurrence. A trader might immediately go pale.
What can be done to prevent this from happening? First: you have to diversify. Don't bet everything on one or two stocks. Trade a lot of instruments. Let your portfolio have, for example, stocks, soybeans, silver and gas. Those commodities that will go up, you will buy more as they go up. And for those that go down, you will reduce their volumes.
It's not complicated! But traders will continue to pale. Why? For the reason that they get carried away!
