Why you should only trade once a day
Flow doesn't know any all-day traders who are actually profitable. The winners trade once or twice; the losers take 10–15. The less you trade, the more you make.
Flow says he doesn't know a single all-day trader who's actually profitable. The profitable ones he knows trade about once or twice a day; the losing ones take 10–15. "The less you trade, the more you make — kind of ironic, ain't it?" It's about ingraining the habits of a successful trader, not chasing action.
Fewer, better trades
"We have to ingrain into ourselves the habits of a successful trader," Flow says — and in his experience the disciplined ones take just a couple of trades a day and walk away, while the losing crowd overtrades. Trading less isn't doing less work; it's the work.
