Web Admin 17 November 2015Latest, TraderPetri

Some people chew their lips or fingers while others eat pens (I am guilty of this one!). Bad habits come in all shapes and sizes and most of the time we are hardly aware of them until someone points them out. In trading though, our bad habits don’t just annoy those around us, but directly ...
