Quick Tip: Need to Know

Curiosity leads to learning and discovery. We want to know the “what, why, how, when & where.” 

All good. Except in day trading. 

Any time you see the price plunge or skyrocket on high volume your first impulse is to find out why, what happened?

But does it matter? As a day trader your setup likely lasts less than an hour. Do you need to understand the reason if you’re only trading price action? Do you even have the time to find out? 

If you’re a day or short-term trader the better time to be curious is during your review process. You have the time to do proper research then. In fact, it’s essential to be very curious during review. You might find an edge you didn’t notice before. 

During live trading just follow the rules. Afterward, invest the time to find meaningful evidence to improve your plan.
