We asked pros the #1 lesson they learned while trading. Here’s what they said…

By Lauren Schmidt

Recently our readers devoured James Altucher’s post "Top things I learned about life while day trading millions." So we asked more professional traders to share their wisdom with us--and you.

We asked some of our contributors to write in with their personal insights on trading the markets. Their responses are varied and interesting, and perhaps there are a few of these tips that you are not following.

First, there is no one "right" way to trade. As they say, there is more than one way to skin a cat. And two, observing market activity will provide clues on where a market will go. You must learn how to listen to what the market is trying to tell you. These are their answers. (dun dun)
