The last 5 weeks of trading have been intense. It seems almost like I’ve done a year’s worth of trading during that time, but ironically, I’ve only done a handful of trades — quite a change from trading upwards of 20 swing setups a week. Why the change…? Because I had to. “The secret of … Read more
The price action that we’ve seen in the stock market the last three weeks, is largely driven based on emotion — and at least initially, wasn’t driven on fundamentals.
