How I trade it!

How I trade it series

The “How I trade it” series is meant to highlight the things I use in my personal trading. This series of trading knowledge should serve your P/L well. As you know every trade is different, no matter the setup used. As such, you’ll need practical advice on how to analyze and close both winners and maybe some losers as well.

Do you even care how I trade it?

Well, you should for a few reasons;

I’ve been doing it for the better part of a decade.
I’m giving you free information.
It could make you money!

If that isn’t enough to peek your interest then I’m at a loss of words. The information given here will enhance your trading in a number of different ways. For instance you may like how I trade it and utilize some of the concepts yourself, or you’ll identify an area needing improvement, do so, and then utilize the approach.

No matter which scenario, the end result means successful trading. And I wish you plenty of that.

Thanks,

Bollinger Bands Trading Strategy

July 3, 2020July 1, 2020 by OptionBoxer

As noted in the title of this post, I’ll be using the next few paragraphs to discuss the Bollinger Bands trading strategy. Using the Bollinger Bands indicator I’ll uncover the potential power behind this simple but often overlooked trading tool.

Bollinger Bands were developed by John Bollinger to determine overbought and oversold conditions within a market. Additionally, for a complete breakdown of bollinger bands check out this post from investopedia.com. However, with some additional information you’ll soon see they’re capable of much more than that!

Options Strategies…Much Easier Now!

March 14, 2020March 14, 2020 by OptionBoxer

As the title suggests, options strategies are infinitely easier with volatility reaching these extreme levels. That doesn’t mean we should throw caution to the wind and trade every strategy known to man. It does however offer an opportunity to make some quick cash and in this market that could be much needed.

Are Trendlines worth the effort?

July 29, 2019July 29, 2019 by OptionBoxer

Many traders may agree, using trendlines is like trying to paint a Picasso. We’ve all seen the trading guru’s chart with them drawn in, they seem so clear, so ridiculously crystal clear about what to do next its almost painful. Why then do I and so many others struggle to use them? In the next few paragraphs, I hope to simplify trendlines and shed more light on their use.

When stop loss orders don’t work, do this!

July 1, 2019June 29, 2019 by OptionBoxer

Stop orders are a good thing. Understanding that will serve a trader well. They limit trading losses, and that’s great! The problem is…that seems to be the only thing ever said about stop loss orders and that isn’t great! The truth is, stop loss orders can fail and if you’re anything like me you may just have forgotten to plan for that.

An ultra short term trading strategy for quick profits!

February 5, 2019February 5, 2019 by OptionBoxer

So, generally speaking I don’t love any short term trading strategy.. mostly due to the fact I lose more money than I make but given the simplicity and potential power of this new strategy it seems reasonable to share.
