Reacting to negative news today and shorting the market in the opening makes a nice quick paycheck.

Trade what you see as they say.

The e-mini futures

Trading is all about finding the right niche based from one's individual skill.

It's all about where you're comfortable with.

It's about finding the right approach where your mind or intelligence fit.

There are many ways to explore the stock market but one has to find it's own way where they're suitable for.

It has a lot of considerations, i.e., like the time; (learning) skills and knowledge; capital; and the commitment of course.

But it all comes to what market has to be traded.

Comparing individual stocks; etf's or the futures especially the e-minis.

As for individual who trades by themselves (especially those at home) it is preferable to trade the e-minis.

In the e-minis, you just have to tracked the main four core of the market and if you want, just one market.

These are the S&P (ES); the Dow which is the YM; the Nasdaq (NQ) and the Russell which is the TF.

Selecting one of these four and mastering one market is the right approach as compared with the individual stocks or etf's.

Keep trading

As experienced the system or the process of trading, one has to work on him/her self the "mind aspect" of any aspiring individual (in trading) to make a good successful trade.

And what are these mind effect or aspects?

I think they are the ones trader's "mind/thinking" during the trading scenario.

Like the trader's emotion - one has to learn to wait and find the right approach in putting a trade. This is hard, but that is trading is all about. Waiting for the right timing and spotting the right location that has a potential to make a gain.

It takes time to psyche oneself in trading, but the desire to make a good trade should be there always. It cannot be done in days or months, and possibly in years.

But I think and I'm sure it can be done!

It's just a matter of "keep" trying.
