OK... trend started this trade the market stuff and it's the individual's perspective that trades it.
So today's rant's title:
Trading Style, Methodology, and Edge
Honestly, I'm changing some styles. I've been through a few transitions from system trading to now scalping (which is temporary). In a sense, I don't have a style. I'm confident I can go back to system trade anytime (it's just putting orders in, though I think I can do better now because I'm getting better at reading depth). But here I am scalping 15 handles of ES today (thank you, I did good today... I wasn't in the chat room so... you know... there's no credibility
)
But I still think I have continued to pursue myself as a trader, within a common theme.
I started trading grains using Gann and failed. Then I went for Turtle Trading Method and had moderate success trading multiple commodity futures. Then I went into systems, signal picking, Gann, then here I am trading with a blank bar chart, only using chart patterns.
But I still think I have continued to pursue myself as a trader, within a common theme.
Honestly, I don't know what the core theme is in myself. I was just trying to become a better trader. The way I'm going towards trading under simplicity wasn't my intention though it might have been. It was the conclusions I got based on each problems I had at the time of my trading....
So I guess trading style, methodology, and edge isn't so important after all. It's more of who you are and how you represent it. It might be represented through edge then methodology and finally style. My conclusion based on my experience is that the more you trade and more you struggle, you get better at expressing and relating yourself with the market, little by little.
