I will feel that it is important to have the latest news of the market, industry and overall stock market direction.
after all, fundamentals are way more important than technical calculations which are mainly projections based on rules and calculations. After all, who can calculate when the next virus mutation will strike?
I started off short term trading by observing 1-2 stocks that I am keen on, how they move in market, do lots of reading up on them before attempting with a small trade, getting ready to average out if need to, with a target % of cut loss and gain sale.
