3. How to decide which style is right for you
Ask yourself:
Do you have the time and ability to constantly track the market?
Are you able to withstand the stress of rapid market fluctuations, or do you prefer stability?
Do you have the patience to keep trading for a few days, or do you want to make a quick profit?
Is your goal to make a quick profit or to build sustainable profits?
No one style is better than another. Success comes from choosing a style that suits your personality and nature.
