Just learn the technical terms, study the market and current global and local news which are likely to affect the market. Trade on your own. Don't read any books for advice but only to know the terms of trade. Because the stock market behaves illogically most of the time. Go ahead of it, it bites, go behind it, it kicks. You are the sole master of your stock market destiny. Unconrollable or immeasurable features make the market beyond the reach of any formula. It is partly science and mostly art specific to the trader and his intution borne of long term experience.
