Hitting Singles
Traders who track their results should be able to improve performance by
focusing on what matters most–the profit and loss statement after the closing
bell. …Try for consistency. Hitting singles regularly, traders are more
likely to exceed their expectations, while eliminating large swings in both
profits and losses.
