Which trading strategy should be used totally depends on market conditions. One should prefer to use strategy which is comfortable to use and easy to understand. Using strategy with which you are not familiar with will not help to succeed in market as you would not have any idea what to do if market shows some uncertain movements. To be on the safer side best intraday tips can be used.
The blog has described good points about the navigation impact on investing.
