The Only Way to Beat the Market in 2017

If you want to have a profitable 2017, you need to get your trading rules in order.
Your trading prep starts now. Because ignoring your process leads to failure.
Hate to be so blunt. But it’s true. Sloppy, undisciplined trading will cost you money. Sure, you might get lucky now and again. But you’ll never achieve consistent success shooting from the hip or trusting your gut.
But there’s help. The wisdom of Ned Davis, founder of Ned Davis Research Group, can make sense out of the inanity. He’s been in the research business 35 years. He’s seen it all – booms and busts, bulls and bears. And he’s proven he knows what it takes to make money in the market.

The next year it’s Ukraine, the Middle East, Ebola, because that’s affecting the market. In this business, if you like to learn, you’re learning something new every day.’

To help you out, I’ve added my own comments to this trusty list. That’ll help ‘translate’ Davis’ rules into our own Rude trading strategies.
Let’s get started…
