I do agree that you need to be willing to tolerate and accept failure in order to be a great trader but learning to be a loser is just misleading advice. Your money is at stake so why should you not play to win?

Although it's sentiment and opinions, I usually follow commodities on Stocktwits: http://stocktwits.com/topic/oil http://stocktwits.com/symbol/GLD?q=GLD

Collective2, eToro, etc. "Good" trading systems are a dime a dozen these days. I actually recommend looking at some of them, finding one with a good track record AND a trading style compatible with your personality. Then instead of blindly following the system, actually dig deep and...

As for my strategy, I check CNBC and other major finance news the evening before and assess the performance of the markets in Asia (since China and Japan are major trading partners of the US; major changes in their equity markets tend to affect us.) Of course, the correlation isn't completely...
