agreed. All the good traders at banks and hedge funds don’t EVER read any trading books. Most of them don’t even go to college or high school because education is for eggheads who don’t know how to take risk. You and I get this. Because we don’t understand Venn diagrams. That’s why we are traders and not boring eggheads!
agreed on a journal. I keep two sets of diaries: an emotional one and a rational one. While I rarely go back and reread the entries I find just getting the thoughts on paper allow me to get past the first level of thought and come to a better conclusion on my next course of action. But everyone processes information differently.
Nice attempt at sarcasm (actually it was just asinine) but that wasn' my point. And most traders at banks and hedge funds underperform the market anyway.
Yup, I do have a trade-journal I have been finally writing this year. Though to be honest a lot of why I do this is so I know WTF I was doing/thinking when it comes time to do taxes again. Haw!
it was good. Most of it I knew but the study on strangles vs straddles was fascinating. I need to study that one myself.
