CALM Secrets - Market Behaviours © "Dedicated to trading with good feelings."                                      All services are free.
	Successful traders seem to understand some general behaviours of free markets. Such understanding is checked by testing with extensive data, in multiple time-frames, across various commodity, equity index and currency markets.     This gives an understanding of the extent to which a behaviour is a feature of all markets or just a class of markets.     This provides a key benefit of self-confidence, critical to later successful use of the knowledge during an inevitable run of losses. Successful traders then differentiate their understanding of general behaviours of free markets from an understanding of the market specific behaviours of both the particular market(s) they trade and the behaviour of the specific instrument(s) they trade in those markets.     An equivalent amount of effort is then undertaken to understand the behaviours of the specific markets they trade and the specific instruments they use to trade in those markets. Many CALM traders feel that an understanding of general market behaviour is particularly critical to their success.     Contrast this with the energy some seem to invest into understanding a specific markets' behaviour in the context of tuning their favourite trading system.       Please show me some examples of market behaviours.
