Trading profits are not equal on the 20 trading days of each month as a regular office job probably would. Experience shows that the results are asymmetrical in occurrence.

There are days where it runs like clockwork and days on which trading seems to produce only losses. In this fourth installment of the series "Scalping Is Fun!" The Heikin Ashi Trader looks at the right time to trade.

Successful traders know in specifics when not to trade. They focus on the times when market conditions are optimal for them. In order of events, the fun turns by itself, then the success follows suit.

In this state of "flow" discipline, this is easy to achieve. Fast scalping promotes the rapid close of loss positions and the quick takeaway from accrued profits, also of equal importance.
