One of the worst things you can do as a day trader or swing trader is “force trades”. It’s a very real temptation give we are… traders… so we should be… trading… right? No! Sometimes the best trade we can make is no trade at all. We need to be selective in our trades and even more importantly is to trade what the market gives. Yes, being a day trader does create the opportunity to be your own boss, but the truth of the matter is, you still have a boss! Who? The market itself! You can not impose your will upon the market. It’s way too big and powerful for that. The sooner you realize you need to listen to the market and take what the market gives, the better positioned you’ll be for success. Let me show you what I mean using some of my personal day trading results.
