There is no way around it, if you want to learn this game, strap yourself in for 2 years and watch everyday and learn to pick up on patterns and correlations. Keep a notebook and write down observations and then cross reference things as time passes to find consistencies. It will take a BUTT LOAD of time and work and even then there is no guarentee you'll "get it" good luck
I recall judging my mood on a scale of 1 to ten and plotting the values on a graph. I remember my mood curve resembled the Dow Jones Industrial Average curve.
looks like nobody here that posted before me is smart enough to tell you about the VIX :eek: but this is "elite-trader" so I'm not surprised
