I've read several places that poodles are the smartest dogs out there. A few people I've known that had them agreed. Mine is a corgi. He's got a huge vocabulary and he's pretty smart. Very routine oriented as most pups are. Your pups just need to figure out what you want them to do - and where.
I've never had a Poodle until inheriting one and it's obvious to me that they're at the top of that list. Our 12yo has a distinct bark for #1 vs #2 which is just nuts. The twins are insane. Constant monitoring and now treats when they do their biz seems to be working.
if you trade on predicting direction you should get into another profession. there is no successful trader who makes a living that way.
I don't really like these kinds of cliches. There is at least one trader succeeding in every different way imaginable. Good technical traders know when direction is about to change. More volatility is just more potential money. Try to adjust your trading approach (take profits earlier) for different levels of volatility (some advice I need to take from time to time myself..)
Well maybe we don't try to make outright predictions everyday, but from time to time, the market tells you exactly where it is going..
