Well, I could go on for years, hiding and using my SIM account without scrutiny.
However after reading some great info both here on this forum and in a few books, I find it all leads to the fact that without a comprehensive trading plan, some goal setting and detailed records of trades, Im waisting my time.
I might as well gamble on the horses or give all my spare money to my 15 yr old son who would be only too willing to spend it on my behalf.
So.... I have spent several hours writing a comprehensive trading (business) plan.
Thanks to some genius over on the Trade2Win forum who provided the template
I have spent many hours getting to know Perry's trading method and I am confident that I will trade it profitably
Thanks Perry.
So I will be trading it .... SIM only at the moment, for a few months with a view to go live no later than January 2011 (all going according to Plan) :becky:
I have found a massive and comprehensive spreadsheet which I have added a few things to, which will enable me to keep detailed and thourough records of all trades.
Attached is my Trading plan.... a few personal things have been blanked out but these will not effect the detail
which readers will find important
19570
My goal is to post my weekly progress (at the end of each week) directly from my trading journal and all are encouraged to comment
I am looking for advice on the best way format and attach my progress.
I will have a " weekly sheet" from excel that will show all my trade details. I could realistically have 40 trades per week, so should i display this here, as an attached excel file, or should I just do a screen shot of the sheet?
Here is a sample screenshot of the excel sheet 19573
Also I will be doing a screenshot of the the trades along with comments written on the graph so i have a visual record of each trade as well. Would readers be interested in looking at some of these?
If so should I just attach a seperate screen shot? I think attaching a seperate screen shot of every trade may be a bit repetitive, time consuming and take up an heap of space in each post
Let me know what you think?
looking forward to sharing my progress with you
