Absorbing the book the hard way

I have about 20 hours invested in reading the book. (Which means I'm in the middle of page four now.)

I understand about how he enters a trade, sets a stop loss, sets breakeven, and somewhat...

I truly have a great deal to learn

I started paper trading today with a shell of a system based on price action, ala Al Brooks. I watched the bars for a half hour or so, looked at the past day, and then started up. My rules for entry...

Chicago Mercantile Exchange

For several years I worked in the same building as the Chicago Merc, and watched the trading many times. I enjoyed it as theater then, but now I need to go back and take a better look. Thanks for...

Learned something today

I was practicing on Oanda FXGame tonight. My goal was modest: execute market orders on EUR/USD, with stop loss, using Bollinger Bands, Candlestick charting and 30 second time frame.

Thanks for the suggestion on books

Big Mike,

I bought Market Wizards and started reading it, but still don't understand the points they are making. I put it down, but I'll pick it up again.

As for Brett Steenbarger, I read a...

Mostly reading, some sim trading

At this point this is more of a diary than a trading journal. I've made a few sim trades, but they have all been somewhat pointless; i.e., I have not employed any rules or strategies. The value has...

5 steps of a trader

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.

I've seen this in other contexts, for sports, and most recently in a Dale Carnegie course on managing people, but never in a trading context. It's a great...

Ignore thispost

Completed my first sim trade this morning.

First Part of My Trading Plan

I have about 5 hours of reading and thinking in today.

One of the things I wanted to get done was a start on my Trading Plan (I hope it's deserving of upper case letters. I'm not sure yet.)

I appreciate all your suggestions. Obviously you have reflected on this a great deal.

Great question. I don't know the answer.

This is a thoughtful question. I haven't responded because I don't know the answer. This is not a good reason not to respond.

I believe I could argue either way, but my math knowledge is...
