Bubba and his guests discuss their trading model.Don and Dave discuss the importance of having the right style of trading that fits your personality. It is important to understand that you can give a great strategy to an undisciplined trader and they will find a way to lose money. Bubba asks them to comment on the difference between a C.T.A. and a Commodity Pool operator. They mention that a C.T.A. trades for an individual account and a Commodity Pool operator combines accounts to trade in a single entity.
Bubba talks with Dave about handling the losing parts of trading. No method will produce all winners, and winners take care of themselves, but it’s the losers that must be managed. Dave maintains that you can’t fall in love with a trade and must look at the bigger picture. The most important thing to realize when you are a trader or investor is to realize that you must have capital to go to the next trade.
The Purple Valley Partners discuss how important it is to maintain the customer’s best interest when you are trading for them. All customers are not the same and their individual goals may not be the same. It is important to realize that as the goals of customer’s change that you are in tune with their needs. You must keep the client’s goals first.
