With my fun money I trade once a week or every few days or even every few months depends on how the trade goes. I was supposed to be out of XTC after a huge 15% gain but it looks like a snapped this really early and there is a huge run to go so I'm going to hold on for this and if it advances past 2c then I'll hold on for long term minimum 1 year to get the 50% cgt discount.

it sounds like you are really new to this, I would be trading more often with smaller amounts of money that you don't care to lose it's the best way to learn.

I would also refer you to a few books, The intelligent investor & Reminiscences of a stock operator.

if you really want to take this seriously and that's the only way to make money you need to also keep your ear on the market in general around the world and in Au.

Goodluck and this is only what I would do not advice
