Notes August 13

  • 99% Trades this month, complete nonsense, almost no competent and reasonable.
  • One of the worst months

Just tired, I want to leave soon to go and away from it all. For 4 years I have had 4 days off and undermining it in the new year, the rest work. Output is nice, but it’s not. Since January 2008, missed a maximum of 10 trading days. There is now no desire to trade, just want to leave.

Before leaving the remaining 3 days.

In September, with renewed energy and a clear head will conquer new heights Stock Exchange, and while I ***** it all =))))

Good luck =)

ScalpTrader: Style Guide

The team is updating our Trading Style Guides to reflect current market conditions. Almost every experienced trader I speak to talks about the impact high frequency trading and Black Box trading has had on the market. Some have been unable to adjust and have been pushed out of the business. From my perspective, oppty continues to exist in spades, but individuals must adapt their style to reflect the new conditions. Here are some of the adjustments I’ve made:

  • Positioning for smaller moves: Instead of focusing on the 0.75-2.00 moves, I’m now seeing more consistent success trading for 0.25-1.00. Because I’m positioning for smaller moves, I’ve had to increase my size. With this change comes the need to increase my knowledge on the names I trade and to use tighter stops. I use Briefing.com columns such as Emerging 50/Liquid Momentum and Emerging Growth to help me stay on top of the fundamental/technical developments in some of the names I trade. I’ve also found that by focusing on 0.25-1.00 moves, I am seeing far more opptys over the course of the day. read more

Thoughts on the mathematical expectation

Let’s apply some theory by taking the average results and see what we can achieve compliance with only the expectation of our trading system, without the super deals.

Initially, we 10C stop in the action, but given the slippage on the average 12S
Commission set 0.006S
Profitable trade is 45 °
Ratio of about 1 to 4 obtained
The position of 1000 shares with us
Consider the 2 options:
A) The first 3 deals with us always in the minus 12C for 1000 shares is $ 120 to $ 132 commission. The fourth transaction, plus 45 ° always.
B) The first 2 deals with us always in the minus 12C for 1000 shares is $ 120 to $ 132 commission. The third transaction, plus 45 ° always.

Suppose that on average we make 10 transactions a day.

Notes on August 4

he results of a little experiment: Strict compliance with the trading system

The results are very impressive. From 2 weeks of compliance was one of only a small sub-zero day.
True primordial was negative in the early days, but this is due to the fact that trading in the first hour.
According to its results surpassed the best month in 2 times, but then broke and was unable to strictly observe the rules and lost more than half earned through his own fault.

Conclusion: Keeping Trading System can achieve phenomenal results, the main enemy is the discipline and emotion. The main problem now in this, but not in the shopping method.

Notes:

  • We should not too aggressively to raise the position is best to increase gradually by one third, rather than in 2 times more.
  • Discipline was lost, there were stupid deal. We must return to the old style.
  • The market gradually calm down, the season comes to an end reports
