Another mistake in-experienced traders make is focusing on one particular trade versus trying to juggle a basket full of items.. While I generally trade about 7 items, my main focus goes where I feel the EZ money is..
The EZ money stuff no one showed any interest in for over 2 years so I stopped mentioning them. But I don't get it!!!!!!!!! My account cares less what makes it grow. But this is where I focus most of my stuff while my nephew does the spooz and a couple other swings.
Doing the EZ money trades allows me to go on about my business and check the market a couple times a week.
I take my trading very seriously, even with the PMs mess in July, the escape valve I posted kept my win rate over 95%.
When I get bored or have a couple spare hours I'll cruise around some of the boards. There are some ideas out there that will make many throw in the towel.
Good luck
