Trading Plans By TradeSmart University

Here is the dirty little secret about “Big Money” trading. They have an advantage that most retail traders do not. It’s not the advantage that you’re thinking about though. The primary advantage of the “Big Money” is the system within which they are required to function. You might call this their “plan.” Fund Managers who are operating within a firm (ie, “big money”) are forced to follow a prescribed plan and face substantial consequences if the deviate. Now, let’s talk about what reality is. Retail traders have even more advantages afforded to them than their big money counterparts. If traders simply had a trading plan they followed with discipline, they would find the gap between them and big money reduced or eliminated.
