About the life and work of a day trader
What happens in the head and in the life of a day trader | http://nzonin.livejournal.com/

Sometimes I open his blog, sometimes I catch interesting things for myself, but everything is too biased and official, I don’t like when it’s like that. For the frank design “not OK”. Probably the person is just sorry […]

Book of complaints and suggestions…

I would like to hear from my readers and visitors, anonymous and those, who with an open visor, well-wishers and " well-wishers" all, so they would like to hear from me: continue , do not continue, close, give signals or give food for thought and so on.

SPIT IT OUT!

About risk management

I receive messages asking me to tell you more about the principles of risk management.

I believe, what is the main thing – tight control. Amount of deals, traded shares and clear stop loss.

If you are properly restricted – you won't lose much for sure.

The problem with overtrading disappears altogether.

Your Net is clearly linked to Gross’ y. If one grows – the other will not stand still.

Для начинающих – just super!

Broker Trade-Ua jointly with A. Gerchik developed an interesting system for trading in the American markets.

More experienced people can customize it for themselves., for other markets. Beginners should follow it clearly..

In our office, several people have remade this program for themselves.. The effect is noticeable.

The program itself:

1 stage – 1 Sunday. The trader is put at risk for the day 9$, autoclouse 10$, дается 600 шерс (i.e, if the trader's first deal is positive, then he can still do 1 deal, if plus and second, it can do the 3rd, if the trader made the first trade negative, at the same time did not even reach minus 9$ – should stop trading).

Upon successful completion – transition to the second stage.

2 stage – 2 weeks. The trader is put at risk for the day 10$, autoclouse 15$, дается 1000 шерс (that is, the trader can do up to 5 positive deals). Allowed 2 минусовые сделки, after 2 minus stops trading, even if it has not reached the stop loss.

Upon successful completion – переход на 3 stage, with negative net – переход на 1 stage.

3 stage – 4 weeks. The trader is put at risk for the day 15$, autoclouse 20$, дается 1400 шерс (that is, the trader can do up to 7 positive deals). Closes with 3 negative trades, even if it has not reached the stop loss.
Upon successful completion – transition to the 4th stage, with negative net – on the 2nd.

P.S. do not write angry letters. Nobody imposes anything on you. I believe, that it can help many.
Не нравится – don't follow.

Also important: если вы видите, that you are doing great and the statistics are in your direction – try to increase the number of transactions.

This system is for people, who are just starting.

Ideally – you must understand yourself, what do you do best, which is worse and create your own system tailored to your personal pros and cons.

The last days

 The last few days are very happy with homework. Lots of fluid and directional movements.

Almost no need for filters.

All this is good for morale and, respectively, on the results.

Сколько это продлится – fig knows, but for now we are happy :) 

My recommendation

In light of interesting events taking place in the states, as well as events , what happened in 1990 in Russia and even now ,I recommend to read, who of course didn’t read, The Robber Barons, preferably in the original. This is probably the first, что я прочел, when immigrated.

By the way, there are interesting points for traders too.

magazine of transactions from Sergey Silantyev

found a very powerful log template for keeping statistics. adapted for NYSE, but also works great for Russian markets. the most recent version the author distributes here
everything is simple – on the first sheet, white fields with transaction details are filled in, and on the rest of the sheets, excel calculates the stat itself…
I will list a few goodies of statistics: at what time is the best result in transactions, dependence of profit on being in a position in time, best trading day of the week – and worst trading day of the week, dependence of profit on the number of transactions, dependence of profit on the volume of the pose… и много чего еще!

some screenshots for clarity – clickable (the results are not mine:)) :



ps: одним словом – the strongest thing! at first glance, from the opening it may seem difficult, но это только на первый взгляд – everything is provided with descriptions… here on this link there is example of a filled magazine with trade parameters

At the maitrade seminar :) Good luck to everyone this week.)) p.S. More precisely, success to everyone, except for my counterparties!!! БУГОГО)кста) lottery ticket not

Watching some systems on Collective.

Подумал я, why don't I also subscribe to receive system signals from Collective. After all, there are good systems there., generating profit for quite a long time. And now, just such a moment, when you can check how these systems behave after a sharp decline in markets — whether they passed this test or not. Additional diversification for trading, I think, not prevent. Main, find such systems, which would be comfortable to trade, so that the signals come in advance, before the opening of trading sessions — to have time to place orders and forget about them until tomorrow. To hold positions for a relatively long time, at least from 2 and more days, and to close predictably — for example, by take profit or at the opening of the next session, so that not just like that, the author of the system was impatient and closed unexpectedly, and the subscriber was resting at this time and did not have time to close, and so that there is an exit plan in advance and it does not catch the subscriber by surprise.

Moreover, the signals are relatively inexpensive.. In addition, you can select systems, which have a low correlation with SP500 and even negative.

You can even create a kind of fund from these systems for greater diversification., pick them up like this, so that the profit curve is flat and growing. I have, By the way, there was a similar attempt in 2007-2008 year — subscribed to about 5-7 system — it went fine at first, but as you know, suddenly there was a crisis, the collapse of markets and systems began to drain, including those, to which I subscribed. It turns out, that I was in a hurry — if a few months later I began to make a fund of systems, I would have seen who withstood the test of the crisis, and who is not, and, accordingly, would subscribe to completely different systems.

Certainly, impossible to foresee the future and, may be, in the future, the system will start to drain. For this, it is necessary to comprehensively investigate the systems, evaluate its coefficients, see deals on the chart, you can even ask questions to the authors of the systems — they usually answer. And make a decision based on a comprehensive analysis. Basically, you can simply not renew your subscription at any time.

I have chosen several systems here, which I have been watching for a long time:
(to see more, нажимайте на картинку)

Допускаю, that many would prefer a system with a shorter-term position holding, that is, intraday. Especially if they sit at the monitor during sessions and have a guarantee, that signals will not be missed. Я просто, in this case I chose systems for myself, so as not to watch the incoming signals, but know for sure, that during my absence no action will be taken on system activity.
Well, in general, I have not yet decided on this step., but I'm in the process of maturing, especially since I don’t suffer from ambitions and I don’t think that, the systems by which I now trade are better than the above.  So why not take advantage of this circumstance and diversify your business :)

Who does not know what is Collective2 — raise your hands.
All in all, this is the most famous place on the internet, where investors and traders from all over the world converge. If you have a profitable system or are trading profitably in an intuitive way, but there is no money to trade for yourself, then just open an account on Collective, trade there for a while so that at least some account history appears and if the equity curve of your account creeps up, subscribers will be drawn to you, and there are immeasurable of them.. You set the price for signals yourself, considering the competition. It is possible in a month, for a quarter or for each profitable trade — there are many options. Think, very profitable business, and then many on forums spam differently, investors are looking for, and investors are all on Collective hang out :)
