    tips for become a good trader?

    I focus on the best 10% with one goal: Being able to replicate the same trades, during the same context, with at least the same results. I also focus on the worst trades, to be sure I understand why they didn't work: I don't want to make the same mistakes. I am always concerned about the...

    tips for become a good trader?

    We just have a very different approach. I am results driven and I focus on my 10% best and my 10% worst... Results. My goal I to make money, not to make good trades.

    tips for become a good trader?

    Fortunately, this thread is not about "how to make money with the right mindset". A good trade is a trade that makes money. A good trader just found a way to do it over and over again.

    As a day trader scalper is the trend is your friend?

    I don't know if you used the word "move" on purpose instead of trend. If it is the case, I agree. I scalp on momentum on specific areas.
