Trading Blog
Live trading Series
This trading blog will be the real deal journal documenting each and every trade I make. Whether going long the shares or shorting a call spread you’ll get my rationale and decision making as it happens. You’ll get to see my mistakes or successes on each trade. In the future I will attempt to provide this blog in video format each day but for now work doesn’t afford the time off during market hours to prepare and post.
In any case, I hope you enjoy. They are meant to highlight many of the steps required to become a proficient options trader or trader in general.
HOWEVER, do not mistake these blog posts as recommendations for you to ever buy or sell a security. I DO NOT suggest you follow my trades. You must perform your own due diligence or consult a registered advisor prior to taking any investments. The information provided here is for educational enjoyment and my own transparent record keeping procedures.
