"In the market, every day is like a minefield littered with gold bullion, but there is no map to lead you safely to the gold. What�s worse, if you managed to grab a piece of the gold yesterday without stepping on a mine, the tactics used to get it may not work today because, while you slept, somebody rearranged all the mines and the gold."

That�s how Kassandra Bentley puts it in her book, Online Day Trading. It is a pretty good description of the odds most day traders face in the market. But there is actually a way to improve these odds significantly. I would even go so far as to say YES THERE IS A MAP, and there are many traders using it and reaping big profits.

Most of the day trading coaches and books about day trading will tell you something like "Use both halves of the brain, learn to trust to your intuition, follow your instincts - you will be pleasantly surprised". They will also advise you to trade only when you are feeling confident and optimistic. There are coaches who believe that successful day trading is 80% psychology and 20% methodology. Some, like Dr.Van K. Tharp, say it is 100% psychology. In my opinion they are right, although I would say the methodology percentage is significantly higher. Without what they call psychology it is next to impossible to day trade successfully, a conclusion they have reached through their own long-term experience.

The purpose of this site is to help day traders to become more successful. The way to do it is to take a closer look and shine some light on those instincts, intuition and psychology, how we are affected by them and what impact they have on the results we are getting in day trading. Even though most of the coaches and book authors are claiming that this is the key to the success in day trading, they cover it only superficially and sometimes even confusingly in all those books and courses on the subject. The way to understand how this really works, how we are affected by it and what we can do about it - indeed the best tool for the understanding of human potential and behavior - is astrology. As Carl G. Jung put it, "Astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity". The only thing I would add is that astrology is much more than that.

First let�s put astrology and trading in the right perspective. Lots of traders and investors use Fibonacci numbers, retracements and other applications of Fibonacci numbers. What you probably didn�t know is that Fibonacci was not only a mathematician but also an astrologer; his famous sequence of numbers is based on astrological principles. R.N. Elliott was not an astrologer, as far as I know, but his Elliott Wave theory corresponds to Fibonacci numbers. And what a surprise - all the waves he described are closely correlated to the planetary cycles. W. D. Gann was an excellent astrologer and most of his findings were based on astrology. That�s also the reason why it is so difficult for a person without an astrological background to read his books. The theory of N.D. Kondratieff correlates to planetary cycles in a similar way as Elliott Waves. I could continue but I guess you got the picture. Maybe just one more quote, this one from J.P. Morgan, founder of the Morgan Bank. "Anyone can be a millionaire, but to become a billionaire, you need an astrologer".

If you are an experienced day trader you probably know all about them. If you are just starting out you have probably heard of them. The best advice you probably got is take a few days off, go back to the basics and reevaluate your trading style, or something of that nature. Well, let me tell you something different. These losing streaks are perfectly natural, everybody gets them and they usually don�t have anything to do with your trading style or system. When I say everybody gets them I mean not only traders but also everybody else. These are periods when we are under negative and discordant planetary influences, as explained below. For most people these periods and times manifest themselves in numerous ways: depression, aggression, various types of accidents, conflicts with other people, setbacks, or just plain bad luck. If you are a day trader, putting lots of money on the line every day, guess how these streaks will effect you.

These streaks are the result of influences that are active at the any given moment between the planets (plus some other bodies) and the sensitive points in your personal natal astrological chart. Here I should probably explain the personal natal astrological chart. Every person has his or her unique and distinct natal astrological chart, and this chart is a representation of the planets and axes, as they were positioned and could be seen, at the time of birth of that person and at the place the person was born. Because every person has his or her unique natal astrological chart therefore every person is affected differently by these planetary influences.

Now for the good news. Astrology has the means to analyze and forecast these influences and dispositions. It is actually pretty close to technical analysis. To a large degree it is based on statistics. There isn�t really anything psychic about it. The trick is how to work with these influences and dispositions and how to use them to our advantage.

What can be learned by doing an astrological analysis and what I can tell you about these streaks is when they will start, how long they will last, when they will end and eventually how bad they will be. I can tell you something more: this does not apply only to streaks. There are also some single days or periods of approximately 2 days that can have just as bad an effect on you. I can identify these unlucky days and let you know when you should expect them. Let me add one more thing: there is nothing wrong with going though these periods. It is how the Laws of Nature work and it is supposed to be that way. We are not supposed to go to a candy store every day.

As you probably know, a basic tool of risk management is to get out of losing trades. I will give you an even a better one: limit the number of losing trades in the best possible way - avoid them, do not get into them, do not trade during those days or periods when you are disposed to be on the losing end. Indeed, don�t do anything else where you can possibly let yourself in for bad luck. (And don�t speed that day!)

The news gets even better. You probably noticed that there are some days or periods when you feel lousy (those described above), and there are other days and periods when you feel wonderful and everything works for you. Yes, you guessed it right. Just as there are influences that effect you in a negative way, there are also influences that effect you positively and harmoniously and they also can be identified and forecasted. These are the days when the stars are on your side, working with you and you are pre-disposed to making some big, fat profits if you will take an advantage of it. That�s what I call the ultimate money management tool.

Having an edge is absolutely necessary for a day trader who wants to be successful. I presume you are watching charts and candlestick patterns, indicators, oscillators, etc., just like the people you are competing against. But that�s not what is going to give you an edge. It is an astrological analysis that will help you to get to the next level of day trading. You will not have to depend just on your intuition, instincts, feelings of confidence or optimism or on your Power of Belief. These are often misleading. Astrology can give you the map that will let you see the broader perspective and tell you when to step in and when to get out.

There is something else I would like to make clear. It is actually possible to rely solely on astrology as the only tool for making trading decisions, to be profitable, as proven many times, and outperform the Indexes. This is actually practiced by many traders and investors. However, I recommend using astrological analysis as just one of the tools in your toolbox, along with fundamental and technical analysis.

As you probably realize, there are numerous ways to use astrology for trading and investing purposes. What is described on this page is only one type of astrological analysis but it is the one most appropriate for day trading.
