The last post begets the question of when I will enter trades: when are those sensible times I’ve designated for trade entry? There are two blocks, really: these take a trading rhythm that accommodates family, work and living in the Eastern time zone (and needing ~8 hours of sleep!) into account: Asia: 9 p.m. – [...]

I’ve incorporated Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (IKH) as an ongoing feature of my analysis regime for about 6 months; and while often including the overlay on charts posted, my conception of what IKH is communicating is something I don’t usually mention.

Whatever the case, that trade was taken in sub-account 2 (SA2) to fade the full extension of the trade that stopped out in SA1. [...]

And yet another incredibly busy couple of weeks have past, this time with nothing to do with the tax deadline. Hopefully “issues” cease cropping up with such frequency, or else I’ll go missing one of these days only to find my way to a different country where I’ve taken up another identity. Maybe the UK [...]
