Dear Traders, Another volatile week has commenced, with the market gapping down over 1% but then rebounding in the Open session.

Dear Traders, My apologies for the long absence from trading. I was completely offline at Burning Man in Black Rock City, Nevada. This was my 3rd burning, and it was an amazing experience.

What Is Day Trading? As the name suggests, day trading is based on buying and then selling stocks within a single day, and sometimes within minutes or seconds. Unlike traditional investing, which usually involves thoughtful market analysis and long-range planning, day trading focuses on the countless up-and-down price fluctuations that characterize a typical trading session […]
The performance problems you have in trading are not caused by anything “out there” in the markets. Depending on what emotionally-based mindset you are in at a particular moment, you will “see” your charts differently.
