The psychology of trading | Alessio Rastani | TEDxManchester

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Alessio trades the markets by using a proven and tested trading plan (similar to a business plan) which sets out in detail the following: (1) a precise entry and a precise exit into and out of the markets -- no guesswork!; (2) when to take profits; (3) how to limit risk; (4) money management on every trade and; (5) maintaining a healthy trading psychology.
Alessio Rastani is a 10 year Financial Markets Trading Veteran, and at the age of 34 has become a widely followed and respected trading mentor releasing countless reports and online training on subjects ranging from stock markets, technical analysis and day trading. Alessio hosts monthly free online training sessions where he gives the most up-to-date information on trading.

Thank you Alessio Rastani and TEDx for this info it is sooo true. Knowing when to buy and sell in the stock market is the key to success

[@scottybroker]

This was EXTREMELY interesting and understandable. Thanks

There is a big difference between preparing for a storm and hoping that a storm comes.

[@goldencatpat]

not if your a storm chaser

[@conundrum11]

Love this guy for he has the balls to be honest but his *BIGGEST MISTAKE was to give a specific timeframe: "2014"* Is there a financial collapse coming? yes. but NEVER give a specific time/ year/ etc as to when that will come because the world can now hold you to it/rub your face in it. As I write this, it is now more than half way into 2015 and the crash isn't here yet. But look who has a permanent reference for their being wrong?...you do, Mr Rastani. Anyway, keep up the good work

[@Param-roy]

July 2016 2018 And this corona year May be he was wrong about the correct year but every word he has said is indeed correct And if you have any knowledge about stocks then you won't have said it..

[@maderastuff]

Both valid points. But catching a falling knife is hard. Let's all consult our Crystal Balls and see what they say. Y'all first though. Volatility broke my crystal ball sadly. Still waiting for that Nigerian Prince Advisor with the awesome "Maddoff" fund to call me back about the crystal ball repair...Supply chain delays are really hurting my business here.

Wow, this is a very useful info

Is this G-Easy?

[@1wordOneWord]

Today is 8 Nov 2018. 2014 to till now no recession sign yet. Never try to time the market. If some is sorting since 2014 after listening this guy, he is bankrupt till now. RIP for that guy.

[@LawKVideo]

He was right. The oil crisis happened along with the China stock market crash. It wasnt a big crash but he was sort of right.

[@XFeuerFestX]

This guy predicted that the same way nostradamus predicted 9/11. Just vague broadly applicable statements that sond specific but aren't

[@infiltr80r]

He predicted an US stock market crash, nothing happened.

Exactly what happened 2023

[@suhas9699]

watching in June 2020 after Covid crisis

[@ScrapMetalJoe]

seems logical? however, the buy and sell cycles are so far apart how are you expected to survive on your profits? Seems that you buy every 7 years? or sell in between those seven years? at certain points (percentages ie:- sell at 75% top and buy at 15% bottom) anyhow just thought I would flag this. what's your thoughts?

[@ronaldjohnson7905]

You can go to his site and try to download the stuff, but there is nothing about the trigger to sell. It's great to know when to buy, but it's just as helpful to know when to sell. The second chart is a 50 day moving average, not a sentiment. I prefer to look at stocks that are at a 52 week low that are paying good dividends. Usually good to buy.

[@ronaldjohnson7905]

+Ronald Johnson I will, however, say the advice from Buffett is sound.

[@thuytran8359]

gg

[@daim831]

I'm watching in October 2020... And buying when the SPXA50R was going below 25 (end of Feb, S&P 500 @3'000) would have been too early for this crisis. Only around mid March when the SPXA50R hit 0 (zero!) the third time the S&P bottomed out at 2'200... Successful long therm "Family office type" investors tell me we should watch bond yields (risk premiums) shooting up, as they naturally do when the crisis is at it's worst, and the bottom is in. They went 90% in on 19th March, retrospectively not bad...

[@MrGunnarPower]

Interestingly the market peeked in May 2014 and fell as he predicted at 12.23. Dow lost over 2600 points from may to August. A little under 15% of its value.

[@Rico11b]

Sadly most of the morons commenting on this video fail to see that fact. He never said it would crash and go down to zero. He said he was expecting a 20 to 30% drop in 2014. Then he said he "believed" a major buying opportunity would come between May to September. 15% is pretty close to 20%, then a bigger drop happened the following Oct 2014. The Dow losing 15% IS a financial storm. And he never said it would last a long time. Also the "major" buying opportunity happened in Oct 2014. But I guess they missed that too. I did not miss it.

[@further_up6575]

the term is "peaked"

[@MrGunnarPower]

+further_up term is Grammer Nazi

[@further_up6575]

Gunnar Power haha, yeah, ur right about that, but the more accurate term is a Grammar, with an 'a', lol

[@Rico11b]

That is precisely why you will continue to be poor. Because you waste time focusing on the wrong things. I suppose it is okay since someone will have to be there to say, "welcome to Walmart". At least your Grammar will be spot on.

[@technosandy5239]

rip for those who are feeling confident and winner after watching this video... remember its share market.

[@jayaybe1]

Lol, I think he thought the audience was a little flat but this is in Manchester, UK. We don't really go for the American razzamataz "say aye", "repeat after me" stuff here ; ) It doesn't mean people weren't enthusiastically and respectfully listening though, just a different style : )

[@MrSupernova111]

[@tyndni]

he was right about the financial storm only came this year though :P

[@electricchris6687]

React don't predict. Yes become more cautious and nimble when warranted but Alessio's poor market timing is a good example of the downside of predicting market turns. His was wrong in 2011 and he was wrong again in 2014. In essence he has been wrong from at least 2011-2017, that's a long time to be wrong. Will he be right, yes eventually, even a broken clock is correct twice a day. I do agree that we will see a very bad recession, but until then, best just to be cautious and nimble and go with the flow.

[@govindpolisetty7812]

the next crisis is now which is covid 19 , im gald im watchin it

[@zenforever6886]

Great video, though sounding simple is the right way to invest and make money.

[@gregoriohb]

The data in the principal slide of him is innacurate. Black Rock alone has more than 1,5 tri under management. It's a bit more than the 20 biggest fund according to this trader.

[@slaphaddalztick]

This guy talks a lot of sense, but his predictions are way off, which makes me wonder whether he knows as much as he claims to know about trading.

[@Raison_d-etre]

+Tim Fouraker No, he doesn't talk a lot of sense. Most bad stocks perform poorly for a good reason. If you can't even find good stocks that are going up, how are you going to find a needle in a haystack?

[@vinny1010]

+Tim Fouraker He rips indicators from others and sells them as his own - TTM and ValueCharts being the most common indicators he steals from, makes slight edits to the code and tries to make money of off them inferring that he created it. He's way too reliant on indicators - huge red flag to me! Indicators are great, but nearly every free webinar he offers, he's always selling some ripped indicator. Based on this, I don't see him as a great trader and nor do I respect him as much. He doesn't have much integrity. This is not to say that he doesn't provide good services, just that I wouldn't see him as my trading mentor. Good traders in my book are Charlie Burton from eZeeTrader and John Carter of SimplierOptions/TTM

[@slaphaddalztick]

vinny1010 Well I've never bought anything in this business apart from a few books, and to my mind, anyone selling an indicator, strategy or whatever is a charlatan. Everything you need to begin a career in trading is there for free, the main investment being as with anything else, time.

[@vinny1010]

+Tim Fouraker There is nothing wrong with charging services. Money IMO is just a form of energy and I'll rather pay money to gain another's experience and strategies vs doing it on my own because the benefits outweigh the costs, especially with trading and the amount of emotions that are generally involved. You're entitled to your opinion, but I don't feel it's a bad thing for people to charge. Nothing wrong with investing in yourself and no, nothing is for free - you have to pay even to your broker. Free stuff will always be given, but the real good stuff, the stuff that works, there will be a charge

[@slaphaddalztick]

vinny1010 Problem is though, how do know what the really good stuff is before you pay for it? I'd ask, if it really works, then show me in real time. As for experience, if I'm a successful trader presumable making loads of money, why don't I just share my experience for free?

[@nafism6969]

this guy is speaking the truth but his predictions didnt eventuate

[@MichaelNguyenVita]

i dont think this guy has actually traded.. but, some nice pictures and suit. It was just a cherry picked situation, hope nobody loses a lot of money doing this :/ Edit: actually, if your a new trader, this is ok i guess

[@chavruta2000]

the spxa50r is not a market sentiment chart, it's a moving average index. it's just a number. it's not reflective of people's opinion. i don't understand. It just means they are below average.

[@rally_chronicles]

That's when you buy.

[@onewxrldmusic7303]

Technical problems?

[@CoreyChambersLA]

May 2014? There was no such stock market crash anywhere near May of 2014.

[@vijayasarathi7770]

If everyone starts buying at the crash means then how the crash will happen ,if people started buying all the stocks then there is demand in market if market demand is there,then the price of stocks will increase ,if demand a always there means how the big crises will come ,anyone kindly explain me regarding this ,iam new to the investment part ,just started

Any leadingtrader members are here?

[@TheTraveler2222]

+Will Hunting Yes

[@vinny1010]

+Will Hunting He rips indicators from others, make slight changes, and renames and sells indicators as if he created it. He has done this by copying the Squeeze indicator and renaming as Pulse Indicator, and has copied countless indicators from ValueCharts/SmartSetups, with his recently one, which he will be selling shortly - named "Turbulence" Besides, he relies WAY too much on indicators. Some of his paid webinars mimic that of John Carter. I rather learn from JC than him though Alessio seems to be a good trader. I just don't like his practices

[@set_app]

Thought he’d say 2023

[@osvaldoreyes9005]

Simple and concise presentation. It's October already, feeling the crash will occur before the end of the month.

trading the down to me is easier than trading the up, but the real skill is trading the flat, if you can make money on a flat market that is where the kudos is.

Okay so today was one of those rare opportunities to be a buyer. US Markets down 7%+ in last 2 days and at the close today (Friday Aug 21, 2015 ) the $SPXA50R is reading 21. Lets see what happens!

[@goshapopov3393]

+Bruce Heuskin Maybe has to sink even lower

[@NDPdEport]

+Bruce Heuskin what happened since than?

[@OptionalBMH]

+NDPdEport Ha ha.... The mkt rallied about 13% in the two months following my original comment.

[@NDPdEport]

Bruce Heuskin very nice, where did you keep track of that? is there a nice website? if you could link the tool I would be very thankful

[@OptionalBMH]

+NDPdEport Sorry but I actually didn't keep track of it. I just went back to that Friday and then measured the mkt move to the top using a chart of the SPY after reading your post.

[@erajjoan4587]

interesting video, i enjoyed watching it but the advice here, technically, isn't very insightful. sure, there are times when you can make a generalization on current sentiment. but that doesn't mean you should wait 7 years for a business cycle to be up on profit. I dont know who this video is intended for, realistically. it cant be for experienced investors and new investors would probably be turned off by today's HFT dumps. 2014 was a different world i guess.

[@Rittley]

Didn't happen. We're still waiting for it in 2024. Next time just don't make predictions...

[@haydenharris3059]

[@sirvapalot]

[@RA-kl2sp]

4:50 he expected a big crash in 2014 and did not happen. lol

[@javierRC82857]

Ros Londo it did occur at the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016, was divided in two, so the fall doesn't saw spectacular, but the profits and losses, were equivalent with crisis in 2011. The mega crash of 2008-2009 was something huge, the latter are becoming smaller.

[@HaruSakamoto]

I'm watching this is 2019. At that moment he said 2014, I stopped the video and moved on.
