WHAT DO I EXPECT NEXT WEEK (Dec 2 – 6)?

During this holidays season I was lazy at home and had not have much time (and will) to do any review of the market and our positions.

WHAT DO I EXPECT NEXT WEEK (Nov 24 – 29)?

WHAT DO I EXPECT NEXT WEEK?

The market rallied to 3100 as I expected last week. It was probably a bit too fast though. Now, that we are at this level, what’s next? I think, we still have some room to go higher, unless Trump spoils it with his trade wars, which I think is less likely since he now has Continue reading →

There will be time when one strategy stops working and another strategy has to be used while waiting for new opportunity to trade the first strategy again.

Quarterly reporting

August is over. My trading was in a “damage control” mode as my trades got whipsawed. I made money, but not as much as I wished for. I also adjusted my trades to long term trades (45-60 DTE), although I take 0-2 DTE trades too but very little. I also reduced amount of trades to Continue reading →

These adjustments were not necessary and could potentially endanger my efforts to become financially free. I am aware of this deficiency and Continue reading →
