DislikedHello friends, I decided to start this thread to see if I could generate discussion about a belief I have always had. Simply put it is this: Markets are Markets, and Trading is Trading. I firmly believe that ALL markets function pretty much the same way, and that is that people who wish to participate MUST do so by placing orders (be they buy or sell, market or limit, etc.) However participants which to "engage" with the markets via charts/graphs, fundamental and news research, advise from their cats, in the end they must all enter orders. This...Ignored
The only thing that changes from market to market, imo, is the drivers and the tactics. By drivers I mean the fundamental issues that move the market, and to what degree. By tactics I mean the operational strategy, like what are the best times of the day to trade, who are the best brokers to use, instrument mechanics (options, future, spot), what order types work best, seasonality, etc etc.
