If trading wasn't unpredictable, everyone would be millionaires already.
In wolf of wall street, mathew mcconaughey says no one knows if the chart is going to go up, down, or in a circle.
I think people can predict general market trends, but no one can predict with a high degree of accuracy.
My statement exactly. That is why in stocks, brokers charge fees for every transaction, be it a profit or a loss.
No one and nothing can give you a confirmed answer to buy or sell. The best method so far is only to be up to date with the news and reading market trends.
But I do know of day traders who has an almost excellent portfolio. If you can control your emotions (greed included) with regards to profit margin, you are already half a winner.
