trade when there is trade , don't trade when there is no trade. A good trader waits patiently , for the quality opportunity , the trade has to be backed by fundamentals , in the mean time he will do nothing for weeks and months.
Sometimes traders get 5 quality opportunities in one day , but nothing for the next fewdays or weeks.He may only be in those trades for a few hours or days. Professional trading is waiting for the edge trades , so patience of sitting and waiting is professional's edge.
