A. Hi Paul, yes I can relate 100% and I used to do something similar for the first five years as a trader.
Basically, I would follow my trading system by taking around two trades per week. But this wasn’t enough, as I would analyse the markets for around 8 to 10 hours per day.
And so, as a compromise or as a side hobby, I would also take a couple of trades based on upcoming news events and fundamentals that were released to the public that week.
I called it the ‘Trading-ants-in-the-pants-syndrome’…
If you feel the need to take on more trades, other than what your trading system lines up, here’s what I would suggest for you…
Open a separate trading account and round up some money that you’d be comfortable to trade with.
This can be anything from R1,000, R10,000 or even, in my case, R75,000…
Whenever you feel the need to take an impulse trade, based on a subjective trading analysis rather than your main proven strategy – then go for it…
When you have another trading account, you’ll be able to take as many trades as you’d like without anything stopping you…
It would also be interesting to compare your subjective results versus objective, to see which portfolio does better…
As fun and liberating as this sounds, I just need to extend one important warning – from personal experience…
Please make sure you keep to your consistent risk management rules… So even though you are risking money you can afford to lose – don’t go and blow more than 5% per trade…
You’ll not only blow one trading portfolio but you might end up blowing a couple which will become a dangerous gambling habit…

Did you miss ANOTHER triple-digit gain this last week?
Those canny Pickpocket Traders didn’t - this time a 323% gain from a US500 index trade.
And this isn’t a one-off lucky strike. In the last week, Trader X and his followers have banked gains of 15.80% from Merck... 51.57% from Brent Crude and 323% from the US 500!

Q. “As a 56 year-old man I think it’s time to start investing in shares. When I join South African Investor or Real Wealth, when I buy shares, how will I profit from the service?”
1. Capital Income –
This is where you’ll buy the share at a lower price and sell it at a higher price for a profit…
The increase in share price will determine a hefty profit for you, depending on how many shares you bought…
2. Dividend Income –
This is when you’ll be entitled to receive a portion of the company’s retained earnings (profit after tax attributable to earnings).
Note: Some companies don’t pay dividends, so make sure first before you decide to buy a company’s share…
Trade well,
