"way to win this game is to use a service like freetrade or some other low cost service so jumping in and out of trades the phycological commision cost won't even have a chance to play in the back of your mind.
I like to call it sparing: i like 2 spar with stocks throw a few shares at em and see how they responed to it just like boxing so i can get a feel of what the market makers are doing. are they flash filling or they taking 4 ever to fill.
I can do this with freetrade because it doesnt cost but a measly 1.00 to find out the action is on a stock.
if and when I get the beat on it then I start wanting to buy more.
if i lose or wrong on the trade I take a small loss. I dont show my true intentions upfront.
