The Daily Market Forecast
Wednesday’s Best S&P Turning Points Results: Shorting Buying 3736.75 delivered 55 points to the suggested short @ 3791.75 which stopped out.
Quick Tip: Banking it…
How traders approach their craft is very individual. Three traders using the same strategy may have different beliefs that vary their results, yet they follow the same entry and exit rules.
For example, yesterday’s buy at 3736.75 soared to the suggested short at 3791.75 for a 55-point gain. That’s a big win for a day trader. Would you bank your day or keep trading? This decision has nothing to do with the strategy rules. It’s personal money and time management.
One trader banks the day to research other strategies.
Another trader works the entire day, taking all setups and gives back half the gain.
Another trader banks the day, turns to simulated mode and trades the remaining day for practice.
This type of decision and others like it are part of their trading plans. Their individual approaches to the same winning strategy significantly affect their performance and progress as traders. Whichever you choose, documenting and reviewing all the setups will give you insight to improve your decisions going forward.
