Bull.
Sunday, generally, it turned out to be stable. General account of ALCHI portfolio +20,33%.
An important level for bulls on the MICEX – 1360. It needs to be held, as an important foothold, to continue the rally :)

research level up
I had a significant research level up, which happened quite spontaneously after communicating with one trader on Skype. in fact, he briefly dropped the approach of one of the other speculators: "if I see three points in the last 5th minute of the session, where would i go for sure – ставлю на лист". I just softened a little for myself –
if a I see one point, where I would be guaranteed to go in the last session and see one for the penultimate one OR see two entry points only for the last
if a day is not torn, more or less smooth and adequate in general
… then put this action on the list
even after watching half of the lighttrader seminar by Albert Azimov, I began to look at the same 5m as the action was going relative to the gap, how the high or low went relative to the previous session.
all this catalyzed yet MORE understanding what is happening!
what , Certainly, begins to affect the result.. minus – takes more time to research, on 30-40% than before.
resume:
5m:
– I look at the smoothness
– I watch how I acted in and out of ranges
– I watch how the intraday levels went
– I see how the hi-lo went for the last session
– I watch how I moved relative to the gap
daily:
– Adequate, Smooth
– not torn, ie. few gaps
(in general, I give the daily less weight).
all new, this is well forgotten old
it happened before, .
Again, the idea is good. for the investment bank, of course.
Expensive testicle…
And the MICEX index today still updated the hai, resolving the dispute, arisen after this post
Well, the percentage of hits voted (strange, that rusmarket voted for Armageddon, probably lured the bears)
With Sberom, and even more preferable, In general, everything is clear too. Shorting them at those levels was crazy. Will the index go higher 1400 or collapse, I do not know yet, need to see further price dynamics, but time, direction, and the target was chosen on time and to the place.
I was wrong
Not so long ago, summing up the results of the month, i wrote, that there is no desire cut down quick dough. Apparently this is not entirely true. It's about the scalping nature of my trades. How fast profit-taking differs from "cutting down quickly"? For two weeks I have been writing that I should be short, short… I write specific goals. As a result, from 600 points of movement took about 30. Well, not fucked up?
The roots of the problem, of course, lie elsewhere. To overclock a small account, you need to use huge shoulders (read big risks). And with high risks, every tick against you is a huge stress.. And when the position becomes profitable, I think: "Uh, carried away "and close faster. BUT! Stsuko, Max! This is not what the trader is paid for!
Least:
1. The trader is paid to, that he knows how to wait. Knows how to wait for the moment to enter a position and (what is more important to me) knows how to wait for the moment to exit. If a trader can't wait - fuck him (to me), not profit!
2. The trader is paid to, that he knows how to objectively assess the situation in conditions of fucking psychological stress. In a fit of panic and doubt, a trader must make decisions and act! Otherwise, not only will nothing work, and most likely will lose.
Wait for the moment to enter, I'm more or less successful. But with the release - full peh.
After entering a position, maintaining composure is not about me.. I remember perfectly . Lena asked something like “what do you think should go?», and I said straight out loud: I think, I can no longer objectively assess the situation. True, there was a load on almost all shoulders and a maximum drawdown of the position 35%, but this does not change the essence. Exam not passed. crap yourself. I couldn't.
Now I enter a position with the minimum lot, but still sykatny, already kick-ass! I can't either 15 minutes in a position to sit ): Gotta do something about it. Somehow it is necessary to treat it.
what kind of tin is the canopy
Pizzeeeeec))) Che creatively that.. I don't know what's going on, but I earned)))))))))
While busy
While busy in the morning, but I give you a link to the article, where does Greenspan talk about, what i mentioned earlier wealth effect
Forex test.
so, test counter, which I drove on miniforex (systematically without stops, using averaging) successfully merged, was not covered in principle, for the purity of the experiment. Profit at the moment reached several hundred percent, which as a result, went to the dealer's pocket anyway :) Nevertheless, the system as a whole showed good results, I would even say excellent. It remains to calculate the size of stops for this vehicle, to minimize the possibility of their triggering, and at the same time, so that they do not become detrimental to the deposit.
Already something
Lots of non-market affairs.
The situation repeated again: I open the terminal and I feel I urgently need to short it. This time, without hesitation, shortnul. But I didn't have enough courage to hold the position. ): Came out with a little plus (practically breakeven). Already something. I continue to work on myself.
