Been too easy for most people.
I have been trading long and short myself. Mainly swing trading short term.
But if one can't trade the cycles. If you learn how to trade and buy the corrections!
You will do very-very good! Tested it back into the late 1800's! Works every time!
During the worst down moves ever. It works great!
Myself? I would rather trade the cycles. That way no worries or down-draws.
I would say? That if one has been trading the stock market for over 5 years?
They are probably rich by now? ;)
