Hey Mate,
I think, in deciding what's the most suitable trading method (to cut some corners) you need to decide what scheduled time's suit your life style.
Do you,
1. look up news dates/times and trade only 1/2 hour each side?
2. schedule 1-2 hours on opening of asian, lse, us?
3. pick an hour or two each side of dinner?
4. pick only Fridays on reversal/close out of weekly positions?
5. trade only when your in the smallest room of the house??? (eww!)
Become familiar of the ebbs and flows of your comfortable time frames, pick a method which suits that time frame.
Stick to the method, risk,lots( to suit the bank) and trial it on DEMO until it works or doesn't (weeks-months)
Stick with with what works or move on.
Never discard completely, keep notes, it may come in handy for a different time or situation, blend learning with the new methods.
Suck up others success/failures and form educated opinions as to why they had those results. (FF, HC,etc)
You could keep learning indefinitely and never trade! (and be very happy with the adventure)
Or you find what works and milk it dry for the next twenty years!!
Looking forward to receiving trading tips from you,
Mike.
P.S. long trading time frames are not necessarily necessary
P.P.S Sorry if I'm coming across sanctimonious...first day of R&R, the tide is high on the suds front.
P.P.S F.F commentators seem to be very highly strung?? but on the whole incredibly smart.
P.P.P.S Listen to Rick. ((not only smart as, but he has a collected works book) read it!)
