best blogs for trading ideas

  1. The first and last blogs are definitely worth a bookmark - the second blog, however, is devoid of any real substantive content.

    I might have a bias but I like my own blog:

    www.listentoyourchart.com


    I've gotten some good feedback from readers so far.

    Cheers!
     
  2. xtrends.blogspot.com is pretty good. Except he's been on a cold streak lately. I tried to let him know some of his errors but he wouldn't send me an email address.

    Ah well
     
  3. I actually follow

    http://pristinetrader.blogspot.com/

    as the blog made a good call on a short in the spy and xlf and made some good money, look at the chart.

    I like www.slopeofhope.com

    I'll definitely keep an eye out for yours. I'm not really looking to be educated or for a lesson but good ideas.
     
  4. Agree that X is on a slight cold streak but in light of their overall track record, it's still a very insightful blog.

    Definitely one of the better trading blogs I follow.

    Don Miller has a good blog as well: http://donmillerjournal.blogspot.com/

    Cheers!
     
  5. Gil,

    I looked at Don's but it seems more focused on the eminis. Is that correct?
     
  6. Yes, you're correct. I like reading Don's blog for his trading insight - I usually wind up thinking of a new addition to my own personal trading and coaching process after a quick visit.

    I enjoy blogs that focus on a static set of financial instruments (i.e., XTrends and Don Miller............).

    I believe that if you trade a single stock, ETF or Index Future for long enough time, you develop a 6th sense for its movements - thus are better able to "feel" trends.

    Which is why, I personally trade the SSO the majority of the time. My traders have also benefitted immensely from taking this "get to know my cash cow" method as well. I was never one for scanning like a mad man for "in play" stocks...


    Cheers!
     
  7. I agree with that. I am also the one who uses a few methods (but constantly revise them), and use them well, to milk a few cash cows only everyday. Instead of trying to "scan" to find a new girl to date everynight. LOL.
     
  8. My own of course :D

    No but seriously, I follow Slope of Hope, TraderFeed, Don Miller's blog, and Emini Addict.
     
  9. I like a certain few and I will be checking out others, I keep an RSS feed for some like www.slopeofhope.com and http://pristinetrader.blogspot.com/
    It's good to diversify and listen to others who know what they are doing. Thanks for the advice guys, I'll keep looking through them all.
