1.Trading 102: Daytrading Mind traps
"One way our brain helps keep us safe is to protect us from an awareness of our weaknesses. The brain believes that it is better to be falsely confident than recognize the real risks. This protective mechanism tends to work against us in trading." Kenneth Reid, Ph.D
MINDING THE MIND
The mind can play tricks on us. Intuitive Trading is an attempt to mind read the market, which makes us susceptible to whipsaws. Hindsight Bias causes traders to underestimate the difficulty of trading, while Competency Bias causes us to over-estimate our abilities. These are mental banana peels that set us up for a fall.

The world's major government bond markets are seeing their yields rise (prices fall) as the first month of the new year winds down.
Rising bond yields hint of rising inflationary price pressures amid ideas world economic growth prospects are on the upswing. If bond yields continue to rise in the near term, such would be a bearish development for world stock markets.
Rising bond yields (rising interest rates) should at some point become a bullish element for the raw commodity sector (hard assets).. Make 2017 a great year!!
