One Way to Review Your Trades
July 9, 2009 at 4:47 pm
If you’re at all like me, every now and then certain aspects of your trading will stand out as having changed. Sometimes that’s for the better, other times for the worse.
While it’s fun to see improvement over time, one key to trading success is the ability to modify one’s approach periodically in order to stay on track.
I think of it like that statistic you’ve heard about how much of the time an airplane is just a little off course when in flight, with the pilot constantly putting it back on line toward its destination.
As traders, we have the same responsibility. We maintain our direction by reviewing (mentally or physically) how we’re doing, and then by making the necessary adjustments.
Well, last night I recognized that one particular strategy which I happen to trade has been off a little lately.
So what did I do?
I got up early this morning (that’s part of preparation) and spent some time going over some of my historical trades when this strategy was really on, and I compared what I found there to how I’ve been trading this strategy lately. It was an eye-opening exercise, and so far, a profitable one.
This same clip is posted over on the Trading Videos site and perhaps you’ve seen it there, but in case you didn’t, I wanted to put it here on the blog.
Let me highly suggest clicking the “HD” on the video player and then going full-screen for best quality.
Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you here soon with more. Until then…

Trading Videos to Make You Better – TheStockBandit.TV
January 14, 2009 at 2:26 pm
For some time now, we’ve been producing a free newsletter over at TheStockBandit.com for those who are on the email list.
What started out as a free written newsletter ultimately morphed into free trading videos – and for good reason! Not only does the video format make the experience much more fun and exciting, but also far more insightful and informative.
There’s simply no comparison when it comes to video vs. the written format, which is why last year the Bandit Broadcast (our premium stock newsletter) also switched to video format.
Through the videos, I’m able to show & tell what I’m talking about. As a result, the feedback has been outstanding.
Introducing TheStockBandit.TV
In recent weeks, we’ve been working on a new way to distribute the free videos, and I think you’re going to love it. The solution is a brand new, stand-alone site set up solely for the purpose of these videos.
TheStockBandit.TV is a location where you can watch trading videos to your heart’s content! It’s a site where each video will be archived and available to you 24/7. Jump from clip to clip, or search for a topic and see if it has been covered. If not, just use the contact form and submit your request for what you’d like to see in a future episode.
These are trading videos, so each one you view is designed to help you become a better trader. Sometimes they’ll cover general trading topics or discuss a concept which is vital to your success. Other times, they’ll introduce helpful tips and tools for streamlining your trading process and narrowing your focus for better trading.   Every video is concise, brief, and helpful, so that your time is always well-spent.
You’ll find new videos added regularly, so you will not want to miss what’s coming. Therefore, be absolutely sure to subscribe to the RSS feed, or join our free email list to be notified anytime new episodes are posted.
Here are those links once again:

Market View Video January 4, 2009
January 4, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Although 2008 brought about one of the worst bear markets in history, it ended on an upbeat note with the indexes climbing higher in the final sessions. That paved the way for some additional upside as 2009 got underway with a solid rally last Friday.
That rally produced an important breakout from multi-week trading ranges which had prevented the major averages from making any meaningful headway. With resistance now broken, on a technical basis this market should be free to continue north for a little while before the next important levels are approached.
The biggest key will be volume, as we’ve seen considerably light trading activity around the holidays (which is typical and expected). This week as traders return to their desks en masse, we should see some marked improvement in participation, which could also shed some light on whether or not this breakout will prove trustworthy.
So as you start to build your trading plan for this week, be sure to stop by and check out this week’s Market View video over at the main site for a close look at the levels to keep an eye on.

Market View Video December 7, 2008

Following a solid rally off the recent low, the market has been able to put in some needed rest by actually digesting those gains rather than quickly giving them all right back. That’s encouraging price action which not only allows for further upside to come along soon (if the bulls want it), but it also has enabled many individual charts to start forming some quality chart patterns from which trades can be made.
While the trading landscape remains a tricky one with higher volatility than usual, it seems that things may finally be starting to settle down a bit. If that’s the case, then we’ll see many more opportunities begin to emerge for swing trading, particularly if the frequency of large morning gaps starts to subside.
Before you dive into your trading routine for this week, be sure to check out the Market View video over at the main site for a closer look at some key levels for the indexes to keep an eye on.

Market View Video November 23, 2008
November 23, 2008 at 5:32 pm
New 52-week lows were seen last week across the board, and in spite of a Friday rebound, the market suffered another setback.
The technical picture remains far from pretty, but as we head into a holiday-shortened trading week, there’s a chance for some upside in the short term. Historically, the bulls have been able to produce some strength on these typically light-volume weeks, so we’ll see if this week is any different.
As you start piecing together a trading plan for the coming week, be sure to stop by and check out this week’s Market View video over at the main site for a closer look at the current conditions.

Market View Video November 16, 2008
November 16, 2008 at 4:59 pm
More recent tests of key support came last week, and thus far they’ve proven successful. However, with the major averages still lingering near those support zones, it places a lot of importance on the price action we’ll see in the days to come. There’s no doubt all eyes will be on the bulls this week to see whether or not they will lend support to the averages.
As we’ve seen time and time again in this tape over the past several weeks, no scenario is out of the question. The day to day volatility continues to run extremely high, offering many opportunities for nimble traders, while simultaneously placing a premium on high levels of cash on an overnight basis. Needless to say, we’re at another interesting juncture as we face the week ahead!
So before you go placing any trades this week, stop by to check out the Market View page over at the main site for a closer look at the overall market as you start to formulate a trading plan.
