    Something Fishy With This Market?

    Aphie- There is no right or wrong week to begin trading. You must learn from every mistake you make. Learn from every zig and zag in the instument you are trading. Yesterday's game was a good example. A few false breakouts early , then chop suey. I'm sure some people got long out of boredom...
