Trusting Your Gut As A Day Trader

05/31/20 • 12 min

Learning to trust your gut as a trader is something I am starting to learn more and more. I mean trusting your gut in life is something I have learned from as well and I guess I shouldn't be surprised it is the same in trading. In this episode I share with you all how my progress has been in May since I decided to trust my gut and pursue this new style of trading...Price action/momentum. I am happy to say there has been great progress so far. I have found myself making most of my return on longing trade setups on occasion which is something I have never done before and some days where I both short and long the same ticker. I will discuss with you the feeling I have been having while trading this new way and how it has created a sense of openness.
