It there’s one thing that I observe among successful traders that I talk to, its that they are highly methodical and disciplined in what they do, almost algorithmic if I may say so. They have a defined trading methodology: a simple, uncomplicated way of looking at markets. In my experience, it doesn’t really matter if you use the Turtle trading system, Elliot Waves, RSI, whatever. But you need to zero in on what constitutes for you a ‘buy’ or a ‘sell’.
The second thing is discipline: you need to have the patience and persistence to follow the model you have defined for yourself. If your goal is to develop a model for investing over a one year time horizon, you need to give it a year before you discard it. It may be painful if real money is involved but StockViz makes it easy for you to build a portfolio and track its performance over a period of time.
StockViz also provides you with a world-class technical Screener and an Alerts system to setup your methodology for the stocks you follow. Use these tools to develop your two things.
Good luck!
