Quick Tip: Best Fit

There are virtually countless ways to trade. Different styles, strategies, time horizons, tools to use, etc. 

How do you know which you should trade? 

Most traders go at this decision backwards. They hunt around for a strategy or mentor that has proof the edge is there and they imagine relatively easy success copying it. 

While there is nothing wrong experimenting with different approaches, successful traders find that they do better fitting the strategy to their personality, not trying to change their personality to fit the strategy. 

One obvious example is time horizon. You might find a solid winning strategy for day trading but once you do it you find it’s not fun. You don’t like the work. You get frustrated, bored, or impulsive much of the time. 

The same goes for swing trading. Maybe you’re not happy having to wait for days or weeks to close a trade. Maybe you like faster action. 

The solution is your viewpoint. If you focus on finding, through experimentation, a strategy that resonates with you rather than the opposite, your opportunity for success, and happiness, is far greater. 

Our trading teams focus on day trading futures and swing trading options. Maybe you'll fit right in. You can try either or both risk-free. 

Trade Fearlessly,
