Trading choices: Using a trading journal
We frequently refer both in the articles we publish and the weekly “Inner Circle” sessions we present, to the benefits of a trading journal. However, the reality is that many traders make the choice not to measure trading despite the logical benefits of doing so. Whether you do or don’t currently, the bottom-line decision you are making is not only whether you do or don’t but how that...
Trading choices: Open positions and economic data release
Market sentiment towards a currency pair, Index, commodity or share, and hence price, changes when new information comes into the market.

Trading requires a commitment of time.

Quick trading Tip…Be Calm and Develop Trading Patience
When we first start to trade, or subsequently (as a more experienced trader) when we trade a new symbol or system we are often “excited” as we see a “hope” for better results.
