Consolidation days are well tradable for smaller p/l. So I trade them also. It is more the price action that is happening at the moment that concerns me. Just use the right setup and tactics for that price action.Great points, again the one thing I learned from a technical trading standpoint about markets is avoid trading much when the stock market is trading inside the previous day's range and the same for anything your trading, mainly because institutional volume and volatility is much stronger outside of prior days high low ranges - that's the single most valuable tip I could share from 20 + years of experience. And trade very small very often versus big positions with big stops, law of large numbers.

After you have read the trading books, go.....
Then develop your own holy grail.

I would start by following trading signals and try to analyze why the signals did what it did and play off or trade off of it. And eventually be able to make your personal trading rules to trade by!what information would you pass down to new traders now that you have become consistently profitable
and i dont mean generic stuff like"mindset is everything" "its all about psychology bro"
i mean technical bits of information that are good to keep in mind when trading
