Traders prep for Manufacturing News


Professional traders appreciate the value of live price action when they are learning, it can never be replaced by reading books or post-market review.  Too many new traders fall victim to the idea that hindsight and back-testing can be used in replace for watching the real-time price action as it develops, and it cannot.  While you’re watching price action, always asking yourself, where we are, where we’ve been and where we’re likely headed in the future.  What clues are you getting from the market?  Is the price action saying anything to you?  Look closely, if you don’t see it, focus on thinking about the people behind each candlestick and let time be the best teacher.
