Chart Diary
"Show me a trader with good record keeping habit,I will show you the successful trader "- Sir Alexander Elder.
We all here come together to become a successful trader.so start keeping our trading diary with our chart patterns to back test our results.
My views on state of art softwares are very clear.They may have facility of backtracking your system,strategy,success ratio,but they dont have back tracking system to detect the fault in your mental behavior.
Logic is Simple any master softwares in the world are not connected with your brain.when you see the signal on the chart which makes you interested then make a note on it,type why you like this signal,note the day,time and save it on separate folder on pc.
When you look back at charts after months,days,a specific pattern emerge through all those saved charts.
That patter will be pattern of your brain.
Now what you look in the chart? what you look in the tape? which signal to look for?what it must indicates?how we interpret it?Then i say dont bother wt u should see and interpret,just note it down what you felt,n keep studying the books,threads on market, you will see the filtering process of your technical analyst brain .You yourself will come one day with ur own system.
As long as i go .i am still learning markets,i am way behind to achieve the goal,i am just sharing the thoughts cuz we might help each other.
when i see my saved charts through years,only one pattern emerges.... trees and flowers,rivers and mountains
just kidding.
I may have skipped the homework in school,but this homework may costs me the fortune.
