Welcome and thank you for visiting the Stockchart caddie!

The name alone says a lot about what makes Stockchart Caddie different from others.  Golf and stock charts are two of my passions.  I have been trading in the stock market for 15 years and found that I had a knack for looking at the charts.  After a while I started helping others understand the charts and really enjoyed seeing their consistency and mindset about trading change. We are always taught that the percentage of return is what matters when choosing where to put our hard-earned money. Percentage of return does have its place, but consistency is what we should strive for, just like playing golf.

Golf, my other passion.  I learned how to play about 20 years ago and wish I would have learned how to play even earlier.  One of the first things I was taught was that consistency is important.  Like how you line up, your back swing, and keeping your head down, and so much more.  When one action is off, your whole shot is in trouble. 

“Conformity in the application of something” is the meaning of consistency.  After working on my golf swing, putting, chipping, and keeping my head down over and over again.  I started thinking about the way I was trading.  Why do I keep judging how good a trade is based on my percentage of return? What if I start being consistent in how I trade?  

When first starting anything, you should always practice right?  As a new golfer you wouldn’t go out and spend hundreds to buy brand new clubs if you didn’t have any idea of how to use them.  What a waste it would be if you absolutely sucked.  With today’s technology, TradeStation and other platforms give you the ability to practice trading and executing in the market. In my eyes this is like going to the driving range.  Where you practice and learn consistency before you head out to the course to play a round.  It is not that expensive new driver that makes your drive straight and go far.  It is the consistency in your swing and practice that will get your ball where you want it to go.

Building your confidence in reading stock charts and learning what to look for consistently is how I teach.  My passion for golf and the stock market merged and so I love to share it with others. Golf and the stock market have so many things in common when it comes to practice, concentration, and consistency

Yes, will you sometimes have bad swings aka trades.  Several things can be key factors in this. Rushing, not thinking clearly, or doing your pre shot routine for example. Sometimes trades just don’t work and that is ok.  But just like a bad shot in golf, you move on to the next.

A book that has helped me as a person and I highly recommend to you is Mark Fisher’s ‘The Golfer and the Millionaire: It’s About Having the Drive to Succeed’.

You must change your mindset if you want to succeed sometimes.  Just like Bryson Dechambeau has entered the golf world taking a new angle on how he plays the game, yet the game is still the same.  This is what I did when I created the Stockchart Caddie. because of Bryson Dechambeau. Golf is still the same, Bryson just took another angle to play it and that is what I did in creating the Stockchart caddie.
