These things sound simple, but it requires patience. Lots of study and a keen eye for detail. Think outside of the box it doesn't all have to be analytical charts and graphs, but they do help. Familiarize yourself to what these things are so when you see them you can utilize them. Most importantly use STOP LOSS whenever you trade. Please, don't make my mistake and think you can react faster than the market lol (you can't) if it goes south cut your losses short and fight another day. Utilize stop losses! that is your greatest defence. You want to protect your capital after all you need it to make you more. So, don't sit there watching them burn into the abyss when all you had to do was set it to a 3% loss limit.
