Do you use a watchlist, or trade whatever's moving?

A watchlist is a short list of instruments you know and follow daily. Without one, beginners tend to scan the whole market and trade whatever moved most recently — usually right before it reverses.

Share:

• how many pairs or markets are on your watchlist
• how you decided what belongs on it
• what you do when nothing on your list is doing anything

The discipline side overlaps with overtrading, and the pair choice side with majors, minors and exotics.
