In this part . . .

Every trade has two parts — the security and its technical characteristics, and you. After you master a few key concepts, exactly how you apply technical methods is a matter of personal preference. No one technical method is “right” — the right method is the one that consistently makes you more money than you lose. To do that, your chosen method must match up with your risk profile and be practical — you have to be able to execute it.

This part — the legendary Part of Tens — gives you easily digestible tips and tricks to do just that. I cover some of the tricks of the trade many top-performing traders use on a daily basis, as well as some basic rules for “playing well” with indicators. Finally, I wrap up this part with ten ways that the market has changed and what that means for technical analysis and you.
