About Pick of the Day
Each day, I will try to find what I believe is the best looking short term trade setup for the upcoming trading day or week.

My goal is help you understand the psychology of price movements so you can learn to analyze your own charts and trade on your very own. I will post my ideas and/or reviews through out each session right here, on Twitter and on Facebook.
