The very best traders it will give profits, dont doubt some people got magic in their finger tips.   We're talking a rarity though, assume its not you as most people should not expect to win trading.

   The dedicated trader I know who is regularly able to capture trades and walk away from it win or loss without being too caught up also rises at 4am every morning, watches the Japanese markets onwards for the best clue on how global sentiment is rebounding in markets that day.  Most of us lack both the clarity and dedication to really listen for the smallest clues how to proceed that day which might be completely different to the next.

The reason I caught this thread again to read is the basic premise is with us once again, dont forget the mantra hold whenever you can.   Times like this the grip can get tiring and we may slip  Markets want to test strength, its a positive eventually to have an active market even if that might be a lower price sometimes during a bull market.
  I think we are traversing a range mostly for now, now looking for a direction given beyond that bounce back and forth we've had many weeks now.
