I will be posting my Journal of my daily trading as Video Logs on my mini blog type website that I have created. In keeping with the dog theme :) and in memories of my beloved earlier companion, I have chosen Doberman Trading as a name for my vlogging platform. My Journal is long overdue, and i feel now is the time to start. I want to Journal to pressure me in accountability and keeping with my Plan. As a lone trader I fell that its very tempting to transgress my rules and journaling will surely help me with this. I have nothing to sell or push, I want to improve and continue to learn every day.
Instruments
Right now a mix of Forex pairs and CFDs offered by Forex Capital Markets (FXCM), but as time will change I am open to everything. Initially I wanted to trade the SET Stocks but that market seems pretty thinly traded and my testing results did not give me a green light to trade them.
Trading Style
For now, I focus on mostly Mechanical Medium-Term trading, I tend to look for pullbacks, momentum and breakouts when creating my strategies.
Background
I traded US stocks, futures and a bit of Forex about 4 years ago, with limited success. At the time I did not have a lot of capital and I felt that the returns were not satisfactory for the time invested each day. I have no formal background in Finance, my professional career being in the energy industry.
Behaviors that I am looking to improve on
- Easily distracted from my tasks
- Poor math skills
- Basic programming knowledge
You can comment at will on my journal posts, in fact I encourage it (good and bad comments) :becky:
N.B. My English is not that great, sorry for speech and typos
