Can you explain this method of looking at EOD charts, or getting in the market close to EOD and trying to make a exit/entry to me? I keep seeing people say this, and I'm trying to understand it. Thanks.....
Pick one or the other. I devote a chapter to this exact topic in my book "Failed Traders: The 20 Common Mistakes Committed By Over 1000 Losing Traders". Definitely don't try to day trade! That is a recipe for disaster.
If you have a "real job" aka a "day job", then IMHO swing trading is the only way to go. Paper trade first whilst developing your trading system. Don't get terribly excited about back tested results. Use back testing as a screen to identify viable trading models. That's just my own 2 cents, YMMV.
