Trading Edge, Less is more

by Gav Leave a Comment

A couple of blog posts that I found it to be useful. Enjoy reading.

I am quoting this from Tremble Hand Trader.

you don’t need more stuff you just need to practice what you have. That the endless search for market knowledge is wasted time. You are better taking what you know and testing and practicing that to death. After you have the basics everything else is just another layer of wasted complexity. What’s required is working on your strengths – niche development.

Sometimes, we just forget. Again and again we spent time readings books, blogs, forums to search for new strategies, new systems or the worst, new indicators. Focusing on what we’ve already known, practise repeatedly, enhance it and develop it to become our unique edge. I like the term, niche development.

Here is another post from TraderFeed

It could be argued that the mechanical accuracy of the trading method would be less important to long-term success than the trader’s ability to adapt to market shifts with risk management that takes maximum advantage of periods of valid signals and minimizes risk during periods of invalid ones.

I fully agree with the importance of developing the ability to adapt to market shifts. Nothing is going to work forever, being able to see the change and develop a plan to work in the current environment is the way to go.

CNBC Gives Financial Advice

by Gav Leave a Comment

I might be slow on posting this. But I just wanna keep a back up of this hilarious video. It reminded me John McCain/Letterman lessson 🙂  And it shows you how wrong the media can be when it comes to trading/investment.  So, do you still looking for ‘Advice’  from the ‘experts’ ?

2008, a year to forget, yet a year to remember

by Gav Leave a Comment

It’s been a year to forget. With only two work-weeks left in 2008, the dollar’s year-to-date changes range from drops of 20% against the yen and 2.5% against the Swiss franc to gains of 5% against the euro, 23% against the Canadian dollar, 28% against the Australian dollar and 33% against sterling. Ten-year bond yields are down by 191 basis points in the U.S., 139 bps in Britain, 132 bps in Germany, and 28 bps in Japan. Among major equity indices, accrued losses amount to at least 34% for the Dow, Ftse, Dax, and Nikkei with the latter two down by 41.8% and 43.9%.

Quote from Currencythoughts.com

At least, I “witnessed” and “experienced” the meltdown. 😆 I thought it is really a year to remember.

Posts worth reading

by Gav Leave a Comment

I haven’t been posting links for long. I was just too lazy, as always 🙂

Anyway,  here are some writings in which I think it is worth reading.

  • Quantitative Easing 101 by Kathy Lien – Something you really need to know if you are going to trade in 2009
  • The moral of Madoff’s tale by Tim Rutten – Maddie craps continue
  • Your purpose of trading by Trader Gav – a short one by yours truly. I thought it is the right time to read it again
  • Bailing out the porn industry by Scholars and Rogues – LOL..awesome post
  • After 30 years of reform, economic perils on China’s path by iht – but I am extra cautious when reading articles about China written on ‘western’ papers..
  • Be nice to the Countries that LEND you money by James Fallows — So, please be nice. You know what, I might ask my money back soon 😆

That’s it!  Have a good weekend!

H/T to Kathy Lien

Other than Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen,  almost all currencies are beaten by the rising Dollar.
