Intraday trading is widely misunderstood. It is often perceived as being high-risk, involving hours in front of a computer screen every day peppered with frantic buying and selling activity. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. We trade intraday because, when managed properly, it is the most conservative of strategies. Our risk is strictly limited and, because we finish every trading day in cash, we are not at the mercy of events outside of our control when the market is closed. Nor do we involve ourselves in a frenzy of trading activity. In Reminiscences Of A Stock Trader, Edwin LeFevre famously stated "It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!".
With a reliable strategy and the ability to 'sit tight', you can identify and trade high-probability setups on a regular basis.
If you would like any further information please contact us. Please note that the seminar will be strictly limited to 25 candidates to ensure that everybody takes away as much as possible from the day.
