The way I handle it;
In Australia there are a HUGE amount of listed mining companies, many are gold, then there's iron ore, lithium, copper, nickel, but the predominance is gold. So in a way, the ASX has a niche in the world on unique type stocks.
My wife is Asian and prior to being married she had a several year live in relationship with a geologist.
Anyhow my wife enjoys trading and geology research.
A typical trading day for me starts with me scanning ASX announcements prior to market open while eating breakfast, it's relaxing, no stress, no hurry, no pressure.
The market opens and I have 2 laptops running, what I'm watching out for a large moves, again, I'm not under any stress or pressure, because I'm just observing, mainly out of boredom and because it fills my day.
Whether a large move(s) happens or not in actual fact is rather inconsequential, I'll explain.
95% of the time I won't take any trades, I'll watch for maybe 30 minutes, then either walk out or drive for coffee, this kind of breaks up the trading day.
When I get home I'll look again at what's moving and then do some reasearch on Co's.
My wife loves gold stocks and she has a terrific memory, so we may discuss certain companies while she's pottering in the kitchen, typical Asian, loves cooking.
Most of my day is scanning and researching and going into my back garden to tend plants or fish or try and spot one of several frogs hiding in the greenery.
I'll take a trade most often near the end of a day when several stars have lined up.
Good fundamental story of great future prospects, relatively new breakout situation, my algo is on one laptop giving me signals.
If a new trade over the next few day fizzles out due to lack of market interest, I'll most often dump.
I look to hold trades which kind of jump out the gate like you see at the races, the stocks have to propel, not languish.
Sometimes I'll take a day trade when something goes ballistic right on open, but it's a seldom event.
