Having spent quite some time around and after the moment finally came for me to start trading full time I will be posting here some past and still open trades, analysis, ideas and anything that may seem interesting at the moment.
The reason I don't do this in my personal blog is because I came to realize that I want to separate trading from personal life, otherwise emotions will surely kill both.
The purpose of this journal is for me to be able to look back and see what I did right, what I did wrong and eventually what could be improved. I tend to be very inconsistent with blogs and journals but hopefully I will keep the energy and desire to post here on a regular basis.
On another note - I do realize that this is a public forum but this thread is my personal journal and it follows a specific purpose. Anyone's welcome to drop in, ask questions, etc, but I will not tolerate smart asses or (which I finds very common around the FF) people coming here and behaving as if I owe them anything (knowledge, answers, etc).
Having that said here are a few ready answers for any newbies that may come by this thread:
- I do not use system, I try to approach and understand the market each and every day
- Market is ultimate, period
- I scale in and out (more rarely) - I do not advocate this, I simply do it
- I don't use any indicators other then eventually a MA
- I follow a large number of markets, some of them on multiple time frames. I think this is crucial for anyone who's looking to stay alive in this business on the long run - you need to understand that this is game of capital flows and emotions on a global level so if you want to be good in the game you need to know the rules.
This should be a fair start I think. The rest will come with time. Or not
