4.9.21 Avoiding contracted markets. I am sure most beginning traders discover that the spend a much larger amount of time at the monitor than they would have ever anticipated...and that they are very frustrated with their results despite the amount of efforts. Trading in contracted markets and not recognizing the significance of this may be a large factor...and you can spend ALOT of unnecessary time and not really understating what is happening. You only have so many things you can look at at a time>>>you want to avoid markets that have low yields and poor profit potential.
