Kim - Thanks for these words. But does this mean I should be more worried or I should be less worried? Or just have another glass of red?
Please be judgemental: I hope for critical views here of what I do - so I can make it work better. I don't try to time tops and bottoms: my...
You're right of course, exit needs as much or more planning than entry. Recently had issue where multiple trades went well into profit but none...
I've only taken one really big loss on this scale, which was when I had shares in a biotech that was expected to announce good news. I bought more...
I trade mostly by following long-term trends, using daily and weekly charts. My two main reasons for trend-following have to do with related but...
