![About <![CDATA[Day Trading]]>](http://www.weeklyfinance.com/rss/rssfeed.png) The Trading Psychology of the Days of the Week
A trader's emotional condition on Monday morning and Friday evening can be a very reliable indicator of the condition of their trading. If you are a new trader, or an experienced trader that has not yet made a significant profit, my article explaining the psychology of the days of the week could be very useful in determining whether you are ready to make trades using real trading capital or not.The Trading Psychology of the Days of the Week originally appeared on About.com Day Trading on Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 at 07:31:40.

How To Choose a Brokerage
Choosing a brokerage is one of the first decisions that all traders have to make, but it is a decision that only experienced traders have the ... well, experience, to make correctly, therefore I am going to tell you exactly how to make the decision.
My profile and review of Interactive Brokers (often known as IB) includes a variety of information about Interactive Brokers (e.g. their accounts, their trading software, the reliability, etc.), and by the end of the article you should know which brokerage to choose.

Trading Systems or Trading Gimmicks
Professional trading techniques and trading systems are based upon the underlying principles of financial market price movement, and are the trading techniques and trading systems that are used by professional traders.
Trading gimmicks are based upon the underlying principles of taking advantage of new traders that do not know any different, and are often the so called trading systems that new traders use to blow up their trading accounts.
If you do not know the difference between a professional trading technique or system and a trading gimmick (which is the case for most new traders), my article explaining the difference between professional trading techniques and systems and trading gimmicks will help you avoid falling foul of a trading gimmick.
