A stock makes it onto your watch list, but does that mean it’s a trade? In fact, most stocks on your watch list are unlikely to even be considered as trades. There are a lot of hoops to go through, and that’s why watch list formation is so very important. In this episode, Paul discusses how going from watch list to an actual trade is a long journey and why, surprisingly, the best watch lists may include stocks that moved in the opposite direction from what was intended.

Understanding price action, finding good chart setups, and identifying reasonable target areas are among the first skills every new trader needs to learn. But turning the profits you see on a chart into real gains in your account is a different challenge: making appropriate money on good trades while limiting losses on bad ones.
In this episode, Paul discusses three major obstacles that keep traders from getting to their targets—and why the reason most traders blame first is rarely the real one.

After years of coaching traders, Paul has seen certain problems surface again and again—often without the traders themselves recognizing them. In this episode, he shares the top three of the most important lessons to emerge from those sessions and explains why traders who genuinely want to improve often remain stuck. If you have been working hard at your trading but are not seeing the progress you expect, this episode may help you understand why.

Does successful trading always require taking action? Many traders feel they should be doing something whenever the market is open—but that instinct may be creating problems they don’t recognize. In this podcast, Paul explores why taking no action can be a deliberate decision based on knowledge and discipline. He also discusses the question every trader should ask before entering, exiting, or managing a trade.

On the Disciplined Trading Strategies resource page, down at the bottom, I have what are called 21 Trading Quick Tips. These have slowly accumulated over recent years, with no particular schedule.

I feel these have incredible value in them, even though they are mostly only one-line snippets with powerful trading lessons. So what I am doing is taking them seven at a time over three podcasts and explaining them in more detail, giving some history, and showing you how you can use them to your advantage.

This is the third and final episode in that three-part series; Trading Quick Tips 15-21.

On the Disciplined Trading Strategies resource page, near the bottom, there is a section called 21 Trading Quick Tips. These tips have slowly accumulated over recent years, without any particular schedule.

I believe these tips have incredible value, even though most of them are only one-line snippets with powerful trading lessons. So, I am taking them seven at a time over three podcast episodes and explaining them in more detail, giving some history, and showing you how you can use them to your advantage.

This is the second episode in that three-part series: Trading Quick Tips 8–14.

Most podcasts are on specific individual topics. I know a lot of you have listened to many or all of them, but even if you have, it is sometimes difficult to pull the topics together in a meaningful way. So, occasionally, I like to do some podcasts that tie a few topics together.
This is one of those. Is this everything that can hold a trader back? Of course not. But it's a quick, off-the-top-of-my-head favorites list. And by the way, notice it doesn't say what holds “new” traders back. It says all traders.
