DislikedOne thing that I truly believed help make me a better trader...
1. Open up your practice account.
2. Always keep a position open. Stocks are either moving up, down, or sideways. If you believe it is going down, short it. If you believe it is going up, go long.
If you feel a long is going to reverse... short it... you get the idea, but always keep a position open.
Why would you close out a correctly chosen direction if you didn't plan on getting back in? Because you thought it found the bottom? Well, if it found the bottom, doesn't that mean...Ignored
