So, you say you are not one for reading. Well, unfortunately, with trading and investing its just part of the game. That is, lets say you want to read this morning's issue of the Financial Times - or your new subscription to TASC??! Follow? Reading is just part of the game.. Not necessarily reading to learn how to trade either.. If you can't read or won't read - whatever the reason.. Go to Youtube and watch the thousands of videos that people have posted for free. Which, I've heard you mention before. You have been given the tools.. its now up to you to do the rest. Here are some answers or suggestions to your queries:. (And, I would sincerely ask anyone else who's reading this to offer their input - to see if I'm correct or giving him suitable advice or suggestions?) Comment: "im not one for reading at all. im very much a practical person and looking on the forum and learning" The Forum will only get you so far. It mostly discusses OT. And does not discuss certain elements of how to make you a better trader! If you are not one for "reading".. then I suggest maybe you make a feature request to Nirvana perhaps to add an "Audio" feature in the forums.. b/c these forums can have some rather vigours and extensive content that may take some time and patience to read.. not being critical. For someone such as yourself, who is not one for for reading books to learn how to trade - it would be very practical for someone like you to ask if there can be an audio or even video section within the forums that other users can post which may make it easier for you to interpret!! Comment: "I would like to say when i have the time i have been tweaking my strategies ive made and i think have good results. ok as yet not run them thru SW" Many OT users work very long hours. so your definitely not the only one. So when you do have the time, its rather imperative that you fine tune your strategies or system and run them thru SW. However, your saying you have "Good results", correct?? Then, what's the problem? If you have faith in these good results, why are you on a search to continually try and improve them? Tho, it is human nature. but you have something here that very well seems to work - and you wanna fix it? .... Don't fix whats not broken! 1 - "my next step is to make sure i am using the right indicators cos im a guy who likes to confirm him signals with indicators" How can ANYONE tell you if you are using the right indicators or not to confirm? I'm sure you know this, from what you have learned about trading - is that its subjective. It is literally and figuratively, IMPOSSIBLE to say if you are using the "right indicator". Because as I have read some other responses to you in the past, you have been given a resposne to this very same question you have posted in the past - if you get 10 people to respond telling you which "right indicator" to use.. your going to get 10 different responses! You then went on to describe your system and what you do to take a trade.. There is NO issue with what you are doing. So, I'm really struggling to understand what advice you are seeking - maybe you should elaborate a little bit more? Otherwise, you don't even realize this.. your actually a pretty darn good "novice" trader. You understand what it takes to put a strategy together..and to use indicators to confirm.. From what I see, I see someone who is not confident in their approach. That you still do not understand certain elements of trading. It will be a very difficult road for you Jason if you don't teach yourself these concepts. |
