Know These Trading Secrets
Trading can be challenging. Trading is not investing. It is speculating. Speculating is defined as assuming business risk in the hope of making a profit from market fluctuations. Successful speculating requires analyzing different market situations, predicting outcomes, and putting your money on the side of the trade on which you think the market is going to go up or down.
If you are a trader, you should appreciate the fact that if you apply the correct techniques for analyzing trades, manage your money and protect your trading account, you can be wrong 70 percent of the time and still be a successful trader. How is that possible? It is only possible by entering a trade where the risk/reward ratio is les than1/3.

A lot of people make the mistake of focusing only on one market. Many people end up spending time on only one market. In reality all the markets are interlinked. Successful trading requires mastering a strategy that enables you to trade multiple markets and multiple time frames. If something happens in one market, you will find the repercussions in the other markets.
They do testing, development, put on a million indicators, go and trade live. They do everything they can while spending all kinds of time trying to figure out one market and one timeframe.

There were so many stocks just a few years ago that were incredible to trade that either dont exist anymore or would not trade successfully today. So you really have to have the ability to be able to adopt the market conditions and not waste your time to really master one market which is critical.
This is counterintuitive. A lot of people will teach you that you really need to learn the ins and outs of one market. But the problem with that philosophy is that its very difficult to stay with one market and one timeframe. - 23226
