10/30/2012 Trick or Treat!

Oct. 31, 2012

10/30/2012 Trick or Treat! Scary trading ahead of Halloween. I have noticed the ranges have contracted quite a bit on the signals which happens I believe when the market is missing people as it was because of Hurricane Sandy. Still monday was a good trading day and friday was the turn around after wend/thurs being […]

I’m Irritated with Markets World

Oct. 30, 2012

Hey everyone today was a bad day for my trading, and a lot of it is Markets World not filling my orders at the right time and when the expiry price chosen. I’m slightly irritated with marketsworld at the moment for some of these reasons. Anyways, I am trying a new indicator known as the […]

My trades on 25 Oct 2012

Oct. 28, 2012

25 October, 2012 So today I made two trades, one ITM one OTM. I didn’t trade much this week mainly because of work and I decided to focus on reading my price action books. I’m trying to weed out low probability trades and take only the best, but I’m having a hard time doing that […]

The Hard Road – Protect yourself from going bust

10/25/2012 Trading has very much SUCKED for me both weds/thursday. This is where money management/risk management is job #1. This is where you will most likely be tempted to go TILT as a trader.

Starting A Strong Equity Curve

Oct. 25, 2012

24 October 2012 Yesterday was more of a normal day as my win streak came to an end :( Every week or so I catch a 6-10 trade streak that helps keep the balance of statistics in place for my 80% average. This balances off maybe a day or two of lackluster results. I often […]

Too Easy: 8 trades 8 wins!

Oct. 23, 2012

22 October 2012 I headline this blogpost with “Too Easy” because it was an almost perfect day for my ALGOs. I had 8 wins with 8 trades 100%. I wish everyday could be like this. But markets don’t always flow as they should and that is ok. In the end you can only try to […]

The Google Flash Crash 10/18/2012

Oct. 21, 2012

Google was the poster boy for the extreme activity of the day and thankfully it helped make my day rock solid in the profit category. Google had earning released early by maybe a disgruntled employee or somebody that just did not set their watch correctly? Whatever the reason it sure threw the market into a […]
