Have you ever noticed the game of chess? The players rely upon anticipation to analyze their opponent's (other player's) next move and make their move accordingly. Day trading is similar to the game of chess in that it uses anticipation as a major strategy. The only difference being that you are up against a group of players, not just one. The analogy would be clearer as we go along.
