Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:50 GMT One of the most common problems I see among intraday traders is that they end the day flat in their positioning, but not flat mentally. That is, they have no overnight risk, but they have a strong directional opinion on a swing or larger time frame. http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/10/if-youre-fighting-trend-youre-defending.html del.icio.us/tradermike/trading http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/2009/10/if-youre-fighting-trend-youre-defending.html?
