Next trade is more important

by 2 Comments

I was having a walk after buying food from the supermarket with my fiancee.

The next trade is more important

I told her about my recent trades, I was pretty happy with my performance. She smiled and told me ‘ It is good, but the next trade is more important’.

This gives me some thoughts. Exactly, the next trade is always more important. And the very next trade has totally nothing to do with our recent trades which we turned a profit or loss. However, human natures make us think it may. We will end up with overconfident, or timid when making the next trade.

Forget about your past trades. Keep the focus on the price action, and the next trade is always more important. You have to give the best performance for the next trade, it might not be perfect, but it will be your best shot!

Sierra Chart sharing: ChartDom Entry chart

by

Chart DOM is one of my favourite Sierra Chart features. It gives users the flexibility to synchronize chart, and DOM. Chart DOM has all features of traditional Sierra Chart DOM, with ability to attach (and synchronized) into a chart. Sierra Chart DOM is higly customisable, and light weight.

In my trading, I always have a chart, which I call “Entry Chart”. It is a simple Footprint/Numbers Bars with Chart DOM attached. I have customized the Chart DOM with additional columns such as Bid/Ask Market Pulling stacking, Recent Bid/Ask volume etc.  The main purpose is to have a quick view of price movement (from Footprint/Numbers Bars chart), while trading on DOM.

I have attached the chartbook here. Please feel free to download, customize, and share it if you found it helpful.

You can download the chartbook HERE.

Enjoy!
