Trading for a living? My take.

There have a been a few posts on movethemarkets.com about becoming a trader and trading for a living. This, together with some improved results over the last few weeks made me think about going fulltime. I think I need to determine for myself what would it take for me to go that route. I know […]

Late day entries

There were some good opportunities out there today. I’ve missed several good trades which were on my watchlist because I was involved in other trades instead. 2 of them were stopped out and I had some time to look at other opportunities but I’m having a hard time entering trades later in the day.
