Whether you are a day trader or you trade once in a while, you have to align yourself with the smart money, not the dumb money, surf along side the whales,not against them, trading is war and you have to choose your battles correctly
I am a day trader. Being in it, any day trader can say, yes, can profit out of even at any situation. Just get in and out setting a minimum profit. This would at times bore you but when you count your profits at end of the day, your profit will be minimum of 30 dollars to the least. I at times, get out of system for other personal works. If one spends minimum 10 hours, he/she can earn around $100 a day.
