"Learn what is true in order to do what is right."

Unfortunately a very high percentage of those who try trading index futures, perhaps as high as eighty percent, eventually lose money. However, this does not necessarily mean that your chance of failure is that high. If, before you begin, you identify correctly the reasons why most people (amateurs) lose and a few people (professionals) win, you can improve your odds significantly. Because successful trading is not easy, you must approach the task very seriously. This is what separates professionals from amateurs. Unlike amateurs, who look at trading as a form of gambling, professionals look at their trading as a business. So in order to succeed in trading you must treat it as a business. You must also know the ingredients needed to give your business a good probability of becoming a successful venture. First of all you will need a good knowledge of your business. Also you will need to have a detailed and tested business plan with clearly defined goals and deadlines. Most of all you will need a self discipline to follow your plan and a lot of perseverance so you do not give up in difficult times. So a good knowledge of the business, a solid business plan and a self discipline in carrying out your plan will give you a confidence that will help you to stick to your plan and to be successful in a long run. That's the professional attitude and the only way to make your trading business successful in a long run.
