Making CFD trades is all about making quick split second decisions. Your success boils down to how and what you trade in the moment of truth. You can't always wait until you feel comfortable with a trade before you make it.
Become More Disciplined
Discipline is a very important in the trading world. You have to do research at the right times, make your grids the night before, keep a trading journal and so much more. You even have to have the discipline to eat right and work out.
Be A Visionary
It is virtually impossible to know future pricing on all trades. However, you have to be able to assimilate as much info as possible. So study as much as you can about markets you are trading. That way you will have a better idea of what will happen in the future.
Use Your Intuition
Your intuition is extremely powerful. It is nothing more than a by-product of the analysis that has been performed in your subconscious. When you have a strong intuition coupled with a very solid trading strategy, you will constantly produce great results.
Have Heart
