Are mondays usually slow for your strategy?

If not, what is your strategy?

If you're curious about Monday, what about the following:

1) First trading day after a holiday
2) Mid day trading sessions
3) Summer trading months
4) Summer Fridays
5) First trading day after the New Year
 
There will always be slow days. you never know when they will come.
But you need a new system or strategy or way of thinking...that's more actively consistent on a day-to-day basis, if you find yourself just sitting there.:mad:;)

i could tell you my strategy, but i'd have to kill you
 
Longer you do your job, and yes it does turn into a job at some point, what was once "the market is changing" is just another time that it happened before. Everything cycles, one day in a while not many trades or outcomes are just ticks, but then you know you are doing it right. And if I gave you my strategy, you most likely not have the knowledge to understand it, cause if you did, you would not have posed the original question.

Disagree, patience is a virtue, particularly in trading, very good setups can be as rare as a blue moon, but one or two, and you make your month.

This is actually a problem with many traders, they think the market is an ATM, market opens, ready to kill it, like a predator, and at 4PM the market killed you.

It can certainly be an ATM but not on a daily basis, far from it.

If you're counting on one or two setups or trades to make your month...then that's kind of dangerous -- because it can also be a vice versa.:):(

Oh well, we agree...to disagree. What's new. There's so many styles and ways of trading -- who's to say what's right.
Everything with trading is rather open-ended and very ambiguous.

Keep killing it on a daily basis then, hard to argue with that right? :)
