10 Types of Traders Based on thier Psychology . What type of a Trader are you?


In the markets there are many different types of traders and many motivations that drive them.  Everyone has heard of  different types of traders based on their trading method: Swing Traders, Day Traders, Momentum Traders, etc. But what about different types of traders based on their psychology, their very purpose?  Some trade for fun and excitement, others trade purely for ego. Other love the game and still others are in it only to make money. In the greatest game on earth it is surprising that many traders have different motivations, in reality the only correct motivation is to make money, that should be the real goal of any trader. Here are a list of ten types of traders I have observed on social media. We have all likely been more than one of these types at some time or another while trading. But we need to focus like a laser on the only real reason we should be trading: to make money and once we have made it, to keep it.

  1. Greedy Traders: They trade too big and risk too much because their only goal is the easy money.
  2. New Traders: They have no idea how the markets work so their only goal is knowledge.
  3. Arrogant Traders: Their only goal is to prove they are right and satisfy their fragile egos.
  4. Trend Traders: Their only goal is to ride a trend and make money.
  5. Scared Traders: Their only goal is to not lose their capital.
  6. Perma-Bull Traders: Their only goal is to go long stocks.
  7. Perma-Bear Traders: Their only goal is to short stocks.
  8. Prophet Traders: Their only goal is to rightly predict market movement then let everyone know they did.
  9. Paper Traders: They love the market and study more than anyone but never quite make the plunge into real trading.
  10. Rich Traders: Their only goal is to consistently make money and grow their capital over the long term.
  11. Which of these are you?

1. U.S Markets closed higher on Friday. 2. Right now , dow futures are lower. 3. Asian markets are mixed. 4. SGX Nifty is up 30-50 Points. 5. There's no point discussing Global markets today. 6. As we are dealing with our own local issues as of now. 7. The talk of the town is Adani Group. 8. Every stock Market participant during last 2 days have not spent as much time with their wife /gf /husband /bf as they have spent on researching Adani stocks. 9. They shouldn't have wasted so much time in research and should've spent their time with loved ones. 10. As Ultimately my Pre Market report would clear all. 11. Now , the Adani stock price has gone below the FPO price. 12. FPO price is in the range of 3100-3200 and stock price is around 2800  13. Who will subscribe to FPO when they can buy shares much cheaper from the Market? 14. Also over the weekend Adani has come up with a 450 page report addressing one by one the allegations made by Hindenberg.  15. I haven't

Pre - Market Analysis (16th June 2022)

U.S Markets closed higher Yesterday. Right now Dow futures are higher by 140 points. Asian markets are higher. SGX nifty is indicating a gap up opening. Yesterday as anticipated Fed increased the interest rates by 75 basis points. This is the largest increase since 1994. There was a relief rally due to the same in U.S market and U.S VIX crashed 10%. How long will this relief rally go on is a big question. Our Markets were terrible yesterday. Everybody is shorting left , right and center. Yesterday all Put options premiums raised in last 30 mins. Even 15200 PE which is 500 points away from spot rose from 4rs to 13rs. Today we might get some short covering as we open and even head higher. 16000 should be a firm resistance for the day. I won't chase this gap up because when Market reverses it's with great speed. I'll look to short near 15950-15980 with a stoploss of 16020. In Bear markets the rallies sre quite ferocious but again markets make fresh lows. So remembe

Pre - Market Analysis (18th August 2022)

U.S Markets closed Flat Yesterday. Asian markets are mixed. SGX Nifty is close to 17940 right now. Yesterday markets broke out of 17900 and now are closer to 18000. 18000 is important as 18000 CE has the highest open interest. Highest amount of calls have been written for 18000 CE strike price. Plus round figures always act as psychological resistance too. Today is the weekly expiry and as of now the range is 17800 to 18000. 17800 is a strong support level and 18000 might act as resistance. Markets will gain steam once 18000 is taken out. Today could be a side-ways expiry. But nothing can be said as markets can always surprise you. IT Index has crossed 30k. Sensex yesterday hit a landmark of 60k. Sensex and Nifty both are now just 3% away from all time highs. So this isnt just a Bull Market , it's a raging Bull Market. India VIX closed below 18 yesterday. Bank Nifty is close to important levels of 40k. Once these important levels are taken out then we move towards all t
