Listening to talking heads on TV blab endlessly about where the market will be by the end of the year is a waste of your time. Always be measuring whether the conditions are ripe for your style of trading, and only take action when they are. Don’t get seduced by big point moves in the averages or fear that you need to just buy something in order to participate in a run. Stick to your method and know that your discipline will get you through bull markets, bear markets, and everything in between. [...] […] If you’re a trader, I’m sure you can relate to this.

Improve your odds of success by exercising good discipline, and don’t just buy something for the sake of activity….only trade when the conditions you like are present. Everything else is just noise and a chance to give back those hard-earned profits! [...] […] Why be aggressive just for the sake of activity?
