It'd help if I put my finger OVER the trigger! |
Of course, the losers always get filled as they are going against the direction you are trading in...
Given the above, why try my hand at a Trading Room?!?
Well, the reasons are many :). Roughly in order of importance:-
1) Accountability/Verification- If I'm able to give entries, stops and exits live in repeated fashion and end up net profitable at the end of the week, I really ought to be taking every trade- by talking out loud and committing myself, I avoid half-ideas and concentrate on the expectancy of the verbalized trades. I want to prove to myself, in a live public setting, that my ideas are (or, as the case may be, are not!) actionable AND profitable.
2) Passing It On- Lots of people have helped me (some for free!) to be able to reach the level I'm currently at in my trading. So, if I can be of any help to somebody still trying to find their way, I'm more than happy to do so.
3) Being Social/Having Fun!- Trading is lonely and can even be boring when your setups are few and far between. It'd be nice to share some stories- trading or otherwise- while looking for those few pips.
As I've mentioned before, there is a strong element of discretion in what I do. I have little doubt about the long-term profitability of my personal approach but, apparently, enough to make pulling the trigger in a consistent fashion difficult. Number 1) will either strengthen my resolve, or show me where the holes are in my real time decision-making. I'll welcome either outcome.
PLEASE read the disclaimer before doing anything stupid!!! If you have the time/desire and feel like playing along, I encourage you to SIM trade the calls.
Due to the points covered in 1), It is very possible that I won't be taking all of the ideas vocalized. Although highly unlikely, it is possible that I may not take any of the trades.
The room will be open as my schedule dictates between 07:00 and 23:00 CET. The most active hours will likely be 10:00 to 13:00 CET - Just click on the link entitled "ENTER OTM TRADE ROOM!" at the top right of the homepage.
