  • Day Trading: THE Most Important But Overlooked Secret…

    Truly successful day trading is dependent on ONE often overlooked factor. Strangely, it's NOT the specific market you choose to trade; be it forex, stocks, bond futures, options or any combination of these. It is NOT the timeframe, i.e. day trading vs. long-term investment. It definitely is NOT how much capital you have got in your broker account.

  • Day Trading - Don't Lose Your Trade Capital!

    Novice day traders have little idea how to manage their trading risk, even as a concept. The typical pattern is that they put on a trade based upon some fairly poorly defined criteria, and when the market eventually moves against them, they are clueless as to when to get out of the position.
