Technical Strategy

My chart stopped at at 20:15 GMT. I thought it was a problem with NT, so I logged off and on a couple of times.

Then I remember that our clocks went back an hour last Saturday. So US clocks must still be on summertime... no wonder lunchtime came early!

 

Heh, just read your message after I posted mine.

Thanks for the links.

 

This is what my market day looked like (missed the 1st hour).

Definitely felt the transition, moving from Beginner level drills, to Advanced Beginner in real time.

I foresee many hours of working smart to bridge the gap.

I'll post a debrief later tonight.

 

Debriefing

First the overall debrief.

Approximately 20% of the day accounted for 50% of the trades.

The optimal number of trades today (for an Advanced Beginner who missed the bus and started an hour late) would have been 8.

Another consideration with regards to volatility (and it's relation to volume)...

This is an older matrix (read outdated calcs) but may provide some seed for thought.

p.s. Jack if this is OT please request that the mods delete.
