Do you know?

Do you know in the medical world, students participating in rotations covering each of the specialty field to experience them firsthand? After six weeks of pediatrics, six weeks of general surgery, six weeks of radiology, and six weeks of psychiatry, students begin to gain a sense for the kinds of medical practice that speak to their strengths and interests. Most of all, they learn which of the fields is fun. Students destined for surgery and emergency medicine gravitate toward active practice fields. Research physicians find their fulfillment in problem solving and the analytical process. Each group finds its own path through the developmental process.

Now imagine approaching trading as if it were medical education: trading baskets of stocks for 6 weeks, developing a trading system for precious metals futures over the next 6 weeks, and then spending 12 weeks building currency positions based on macro analysis.

And now you know what interests you most, what market and what time frame you feel most comfortable to trade in.

Practical? I think it is worthy to find your trading mate.
