About a month ago I have already reported on the results of trading, after returning to the old, slightly modified trading system (conventional reference point – 1 July), now I will add some more statistics.
Примечательно вот что. I didn't have time to trade in August, Market Analysis, tape reading. At first, due to the solid amount of work, and in the second half, at sea, I was just too lazy. used to, the terminal did not open for a couple of days. This did not affect the performance. At all. To my mind, met Williams saying (don't remember exactly, but close in meaning), что когда мы долго созерцаем charts, then we do intellectual masturbation… I'm ready to subscribe now.
Rapid price movements on a 5-minute interval can hypnotize, seems, what you need to enter / exit right now, otherwise it will be too late… In August I worked, mostly deferred. Sometimes I took my shoulders, но маленькие. Positions were held for up to several days, but intermediate profit taking (again deferred) has always been performed.
Satisfied at the end. It was possible to achieve the optimal ratio of profitability (set the bar for myself 10-20% per month), little risk, and minimal labor costs. I have repeatedly written about the comfort of the position volume – is he (volume) should not be excessive (for a manual intuitive trader naturally) – this important rule was also respected. At all, came to this conclusion – the volume should be like this, so you can not think about him, when you transfer overnight position and go to bed. And more conclusion. Many argue, you can live with trading / you can't. Think, you need to have an additional source of income, business, Work (although many dream of quitting the hated service, занимаясь спекуляциями). It's just normal diversification. Do not trade day / two / week, allow yourself such a luxury, otherwise, become a slave to the terminal for a short time.
