Its all good moffy, the ASX can be a frustrating market to trade especially when O/S is pumping hard.
For me, based on a general obeservation when it comes to day trades I usually drop it down a gear for any week which involves a public holiday such as Anzac, Easter, x-mas etc.
Not sure why, but our market likes to fizzle out during these times yet amongst all the riff raff there are a few hidden Gems to play with if you're lucky enough to find them.
I like to keep multiple watchlists with countless stocks ranging from various sectors, mostly to keep a scope on things for quick trades.
It's like watching paint dry most the time but it certainly helps to spot the movement for sure.
