Advice - separate your account into investments and trading.
One thing you must do is to DEFINE YOUR METHODOLOGY of
trading. Personally, I'm a hybrid trader with certain core
holdings/swings and the balance shorter term trades. One
place to start a formulation is to REVIEW past trades and what
works for you and what doesn't. It comes from your personal
experience over time. There is no short answer to the
question - just like someone approaches a way to get in shape.
Formulate a plan that works for you and adjust as necessary.
Once in place, you can incorporate some of our tools
in accordance with style of trading (including your preferred time
frames, risk tolerance, etc). For the trading portion you
can simply focus on the patterns that seem to work best for your
approach and then examine the watchlist for viable candidates.
Anyway, there are a few thoughts and now back to
trading.
