Questions
Da Roolz
G'day All (yup I'm one of those Australians... so no jokes about another kangaroo on the barby okay :))
I am a profligate trader and poster over in Australia, and have recently spent a short period of time (three weeks) going at futures day-trading full time.
(I generally trade international Indices, FOREX and commodities futures)
During this time I managed to repeat a lot of mistakes I have made trading part time, but, I recorded every trade and made notes on what I was feeling and thinking and then spent some time analysing what I had done, why I had done it and pinpointing certain things I could do toimprove mey results.
In doing so I put together a document which outlines a bunch of rules and guides for myself.
As I have just logged on, subscribed, registered here, I thought I would take the opportunity to put what I wrote for myself (and have posted elsewhere in Aus based forums) as my first contribution here.
Apologies as I am not too sure how to highlight headings... (does HTML work?) so th readability is not as great as it could be. However I hope this is of some interest/help, and I would love to hear other's rules n guidelines that they employ.
as an aside, since writing this thing up and obeying it (pretty much) I have significantly reduced the number of mistakes I make ans as a result have definately improved my trading "bottom line"
I have just discovered the text is to long so the rest of the post is after this one.
