Hi All,
I swing trade stocks using algorithms based on:
(I'm not much on traditional patterns, but find these two to be strong)
I'm developing a personal trading program focused on:
I'm now trading full time and working to funnel the perspectives I've acquired over several years of sporadic part-time trading into a daily trading plan that adapts changing market conditions, selecting from numerous algorithms and implementation approaches that I've used and am familiar with.
At this point, I think the trading algorithms that I'm familiar with are quite good, and while I'd like to continue to improve them and learn new ones, I find that day-to-day what I need to do most is:
The above can be summarized as an attempt to develop, maintain & apply trading knowledge in the most effective way, i.e. w/ the greatest profit over the least time expended. The stronger that foundation, the more confidence I should have in risking money in markets, and the more profitablly I would expect to trade.
So I hope this site helps me think through questions like -
o Is scalping a good strategy for these goals ?
o Are multi-week positions also appropriate for these goals ?
I hope that people here are interested in similar things, and I'd like to contribute to discussion when that could be helpful.
