Its early, but my day is going to end around 8 am. I can live with that! I have a lot of inner chatter going on because its 5:19 and its one minute to game time. Its time for my morning ritual to calm my inner chatter: If I follow my game plan, I am a great trader! If I adjust to my opponent, I am an experienced trader! If I follow my game plan and adjust to my opponent when necessary, I am a master trader!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eADJUSTING TO YOUR OPPONENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essence of this article is captured in the part of my ritual when I mention adjusting to my opponent. Who are my opponents in electronic trading? I cant see them. As market commentator Rick Santelli points out, Electronic trading is like playing a game, but you can only watch the scoreboard, so who are we playing against? When I talk about my opponents in electronic trading, they are either buyers or sellers. When I am a short player (seller first), my opponents are the buyers and my teammates are the sellers. When I am a long player (buyer first), my opponents are the sellers and my teammates are the buyers. I am always interested in the health of both teams.","brand":"store-traders-com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52133910839665,"sku":"\\V27\\C11\\244CLOSE.PDF","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/3843\/6209\/files\/unnamed_49f273f2-ff68-4b63-b1de-8c9b52d047f0.jpg?v=1739656652","url":"https:\/\/shop.traders.com\/products\/stcov27997at5","provider":"Stocks \u0026 Commodities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
