Your personal views on economy should not influence your trading decisions.
Time spent on research, work and effort in preparation while the market is closed is more valuable than time spent watching the market while its open.
Build a watch list and wait for the correct trade set up to show in the stocks in that watch list.
Trade execution and risk management are far more important than finding the best stock.
Its better to wait for the right set up than to force something that isn't there.
There is no rule like you have to trade everyday to make money.
Keep a trading journal so you can go back and review your actions.
