If gut feeling is your strength, go with it. Math is my strength so I use it to trade, but I don't believe it is requirement. Math done improperly can end up hurting you more than it helps you.
Regarding when to sell, the first thing everyone should learn is to not expect to always sell at the best possible price (in retrospect). You have no way of knowing exactly when the bad turnovers are going to occur. Try to get a price that you think is fair for your sale, regardless of whether that makes you a winner or a loser on your round-trip trade. This might be tough for the gut feeling player, to find the point at which "his team" is relatively most vulnerable compared to it's price, and I can understand how it might be harder than figuring when to buy. |
