About Day Trading: Are You Listening to the Market?
| from Adam Milton Professional traders have various trading systems that they trade every day. They are also aware that the market might speak at any moment, and provide them with a trading opportunity that is not part of their trading systems. This week's day trading newsletter explains how the market speaks, and what you need to do when it does speak. The newsletter also includes: - a discussion of why the last price is missing from forex market prices, - how to react when you make a trade by mistake, - and the weekly economic calendar with volatility expectations.
