I read a great post by Stephen Burns (@SJosephBurns) That outlined the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Traders.  It was a good list, and well worth reading. I’ve been quiet with my blogging recently, but I have been stalking you all nonetheless, and in my recent stalker-observations I’ve noticed two of these habits are being …

You’ve heard it said before that “Trading is not a sprint, it’s a marathon”.   Since it seems to be the done thing to compare trading to a running race, I’m going to jump on the bandwagon.  And mess it up a little.

Everyone knows the main thing that draws people to the markets is the promise of mega returns. Particularly when the banks are offering us next to nothing for our savings, there comes a point where we think there must be a better option – and what better option is there, than to manage our money …

Trend? I can't see no trend!

After having six weeks away from the markets, it’s great to see that nothing much has really changed. The trends are still trending, the traders are still twittering, and the perpetual $EURUSD bears are still trying to pick a top in a Forex pair that continues to climb.
