Next Trader Development Course Begins July 26, 2010

I wanted to remind you that the next TDC begins Monday, July 26, 2010 at 11:30 am EDT.  It is a 10 week course so the next one won’t roll around again until the last week in September. Here is the summary of the course, but it really doesn’t do it justice.  If you want a high accountability, kick in the pants to get you focused on making your system work for you (or building a new system... [Read more]

Judging Intuition’s Place

Judging Intuition’s Place

I got an email from a student this week asking about using intuition in trading.  He gave an example where using intuition worked in his favor (by keeping him out of trade that signaled then lost), but then wondered if that is really a good idea. One of the reasons I recommend SO much backtesting is because of the intrinsic learning that goes on while one is testing.  (Stay with me here…it is relevant,... [Read more]

Fundamental Report for Week of July 12, 2010

Fundamental Report for Week of July 12, 2010

Monday, July 12, 2010: Slow news day left nothing more than a pullback against the USD as the market awaits some news that gives them the thumbs up to trade again. The Euro was lifted to new highs on Sunday’s positive outlook for the week, but quickly returned to last week’s levels at 1.2620 and then lower through the NY session.  It seems that the Euro Zone’s efforts to put the onus for financial... [Read more]


Knowing What you Want – Part 2 of 2

Knowing What you Want – Part 2 of 2

Last week I talked about the importance of really understanding what it is you want.   I wrote about the importance of nailing down what you want; not just out of your trading, but what you want out of your life. This week I want to make an important distinction that could have easily been missed in last week’s article. I used the word “want” a lot in that article and only near the end did... [Read more]
