There are many things to remember when you're a new trader who is just beginning to learn how to trade the stock market. So many things are foreign that it can sometimes be easy to get confused and forget what needs to be done. BetterTrades was created to help educate newcomers how to trade the market. Better Trades wants its students to conduct business in the smartest, safest possible manner.

BetterTrades explains its strategies for trading the market in its Market Essentials education workshop, a comprehensive two-day class that helps students learn how to trade the market.

Here are some basic "do's and don'ts" to keep in mind when following the BetterTrades system of potentially making money in the stock market.

• Don't put all your trading capital in one trade. If you go "all in" on a trade that doesn't work, you could quickly find your trading fund depleted and find yourself sitting on the sidelines.
• Do your homework. Make sure you set aside time every day to review the educational material you've obtained from Better Trades. The more times you review the material, the more likely it will stick in your brain. Your confidence will likely grow, which is essential for the time when you become an active trader.
• • Don't forget to practice. Don't even think about getting involved in a trade with real money until you've established yourself in practice trades. Virtual trading plays a key role in the development of a trader and allows you to master the strategies and make the mistakes when there's no real money on the line. BetterTrades coaches encourage new traders to successfully complete 10 consecutive winning non-funded or virtual trades before they begin to trade real money. If you have a losing trade, go back to the drawing board and start over.
• Don't skimp on tools. You wouldn't buy a faulty hammer if you were going to build a cabinet, would you? Then don't skimp on your trading tools. Make sure your online brokerage and charting program provide the access and technical analysis capabilities that your need.
• Do take your time with your education process and learn properly. Don't get excited and rush into action unless you're properly equipped. It's very easy to get hurt unless you have the proper education and know what you're doing.

BetterTrades can help you answer your questions and fill the education gaps. It can help get you going in the right direction and help give you the confidence needed to become an effective trader.
