6M ago26:23

26:23

Previously a lawyer, now a full time trader, Pablo Fdez Escarzaga from Spain told me he spent his first two years trading the markets "going nowhere". Then, quite by chance, he came across Alla Peters Plocher’s Fibonacci Trading Institute and, within a few months of applying her strategy, his trading improved. Massively.

How do you deal with bad days, the slow days trading? Who do you talk to? The cat, the dog, your reflection? Sometimes there’s no one around.
