Experience has taught me that keeping tab on what works for you is the best strategy, you could practise all the tips from the pro all you want and you have will still end up losing. Find your own method and stick with it.
Just like there aren't any "pro methods" there aren't any custom methods either. People need to understand that they are far more likely to lose than to gain anything here. In case people do actually gain something it's more related to luck rather than any research. I personally always wait for the market to become obviously overbought or oversold in order to act, which thus far has been a great indicator. It still doesn't mean it will work every time, but at least the odds of being right are higher, especially when you can apply buy the rumor sell the news, which is what trading is a about.
