The purpose of this is to serve as a closet, or attic, or self-storage facility. A place for me to store what I don't want to lose, all in one place, partly for me, but largely for those who may be interested in what I think about market stuff and trading stuff.
I've reserved the right to moderate comments. Assuming that this works, the point of it is to keep the blog on task as much as possible. Substantive questions will be answered, if I can, but good wishes and so forth will not be posted, not because I don't appreciate them, but because all of that is a lot for newcomers to wade through after a while, so please don't be insulted if you don't see your comment posted.
The first post is a link to a preview of my book. This may be of no interest to you whatsoever, but I do encourage those who are interested to at least look over it before plunking down any money for something that may be of little or no use to them.
Good trading.

Making High Probability Trades

.
Use a variety of bar intervals and timeframes to confirm and time trades.
Trade in the direction of the primary trend.
Have a predetermined exit strategy.
Plan trades before the market opens.
Have a reason for every trade.
Predetermine the amount of risk you’re willing to assume.
Stay focused.
Maintain discipline.
Be patient and wait for the best opportunities.
Incorporate the inevitability of loss into your system.
Don’t chase trades. Any entry subsequent to the best entry has a lower probability of success.
Adjust your risk according to the probability of success of the trade.
Trade more heavily when the odds are in your favor.
