Some Trading Resources I Find Useful

I have spent a lot of time researching, reading and watching various different sources of information on trading.

While every single one of these has some value there are very few that really resonate with me and fit the way I think about things and process information.

Here are a few that I find useful

Tradestation 
Tradestation is the Broker I use, but they are more than just a broker.
They have probably the best charting platform with lots of tools and gadgets for learning.
They also support their clients very well.
Fees are relatively low.
I used Tradestation back in 2000 when I took my first run at trading.
The fundamentals of the platform are still very similar and it is easy to use.

IReallyTrade
This link takes you to Larry Williams site.
Larry is a long term trader.
His logic is compelling and his style I can understand.
He lays out a balanced argument for trading and does not sugar coat anything.
He has a lot of stuff for free on his site and there are a number of You Tube videos that are good to watch. Just search no his name.

Chris Dunn
Chris is not necessarily a trader from my sense of the word.
He trades things I may not be interested in like BitCoin.
But, what I like about him is the practical no nonsense approach he takes.
Everything seems possible if you do the work and are smart about your business.
Her is a young guy with lots of positive energy and I find it inspiring to listen to.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Opening Comments No market moving events over the weekend. The markets opened about where they closed and have made a small upward move continuing the Friday late day rally. Prognosis for the week from our advisory subscription is for the market to rally in the first few days then pullback towards the end of the week. Our daily target in the Real Money account , for this week, is $250. Real Money Trading S&P 500 e-Mini Missed a long signal at 1:04 and the market is running higher from that signal. Waiting for the next one. The 2,000 tick appeared to be setting up for 2 consecutive sell signals. I placed an order in anticipation that was filled, then the sell signal did not follow through. 3:40 - Sold 1 short @ 2438.00. Target @ 2437.00 Since this is already off plan and does represent a possible reversal point in the market I am going to adjust the target based on the open and Fibonacci numbers. The mid point between the 23 and 38% retracement levels brin...

Opening Comments The market  rallied out of the open continuing Monday's afternoon rally. In the short term, next couple of days, we should expect a rally to take back some of last weeks losses before continuing lower. Our mid term prognosis based on the cycle and inter-market analysis, that we follow, is for the market to decline into October. The forecast provides general direction, but not magnitude. However, looking at the market activity we anticipate the correction could come back to the 2360 levels. Flipping & Recovery Strategy (Modified 21/08/17) Going back to the Plan B Concept for Flipping failed trades and recovering losses. The fundamental  logic of this strategy is to recover the losses of a previous trade, not making a profit. The guidelines are as follows: 1. The trigger event is when a trade does not follow, 2. The trade is flipped in the opposite direction taking the required number of contracts to recover the losses with a one point ...

Swing Trade Strategies Yesterday I mentioned a Swing Trade Strategy that I follow that needs a bit of work to improve it's performance. This strategy is based on the Naked Close concept. First of all what is a Naked Close? There are 2 types of naked closes. For a show of strength the close of this bar is higher than the high of the previous bar. I call this a Naked Close Long signal. For a show of weakness the close of this bar is lower than the low of the previous bar. I call this a Naked Close Short signal. In the chart below, a daily chart of the S&P 500 e-mini, the green dots indicate bars with a Naked Close Long signal and the red dots indicate bars with Naked Close Short signals. You can see that generally the Naked Close proceeds some sort of move in the direction of the signal. My strategy rules are pretty basic. Enter on the open of the next bar after the signal. Exit on the first profitable open or exit on a reversal or exit at a $3,000 Stop for...
