Lescor:
When you trade non-correlated strats, do you ever trade same stock but maybe on different time frames, etc? You mentioned your SWM trade last week, did you trade it only in one strat or several? I'm trying to add non-correlated strategy to my trading but end up looking at the same stocks.
Thank you

hey lescor i see you use sterling and you do swing some big positions do you use dark routes for liquidity or just use displayed orders. if you do use dark what is the best routes for sterling is there one particularly that goes out to multiple pools. i trade mostly illiquid stocks and these pools are essential now, i dont see the need for dark routes in very very liquid issues. thanks
lescor,
Could I ask you this. With regard to your strategies... Do the rules and concepts actually make sense as to why you believe a stock should go up or go down?
Like the opposite should be star formations. If the the north star was visible you should go long, if not short. That doesn't have any logical meaning to expect why a stock should go up or down. If someone looked at the rules of your strategy, would it make logical sense as to why the stock should go up or down?

Lescor,
Do you have a fixed universe of stocks from which you trade everyday (and which would give you signals during the day) or you select stocks for trading every morning again from all stocks available on the market based on some criteria?
Are there stocks that are, so to speak, your "friends", which are quite predictable and easy to trade, and also those you have never been able to trade as you expected? Or it's irrelevant for your trading style?
Thanks.

Lescor, I was wondering if you could address a particular psychological aspect of trading, that of watching the pnl swings of an individual trade. Did you ever have an issue with that? Wondering, worrying as to whether the trade was right - letting the concerns of the pnl dictate the actions within the trade. If so, what was it that helped you overcome it? If not, why not?
Enjoying your input.
Chris

Thank you lescor for your answer.
One more question if you don't mind.
On ave. how many stocks do you trade in a day for opening orderes and RTM? How many RTM positions are you comfortable managing at the same time ?
Thank you
It varies widely depending how active the market is. Most days it's only about half a dozen for openings and mid-day trading, but can jump a lot when it's busy. I have an app that manages my positions so all I have to do is watch.
