Look for impulse moves that are greater than the failures should you be wrong. The numbers are what they are. Trading does not have to be complex, in fact simple is best.
Gloria, I think I read everything there was to read but the lights didn't come on until I spent countless hours watching price development on the charts. Better IMO to build off what you see rather than try and see through another's eyes.
Octopod, I should qualify my statement. I day trade futures, if I traded stocks, I would not hold into earnings announcements. For a portfolio of stock holdings, I would parse financial statements and listen to and interpret conference calls.
The only "news" i pay attention to are economic data reports and they don't figure into my signals...other than I will not hold a position into a Fed rate announcement.
This is a Denise Shull deal. Consider it a marketing tease. She is a trading coach out of NYC. I believe coaching can be of help to some but these services do not come cheap and may or may not help you.
