The Trading Journal Do's and Don'ts

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Every time I ask Norman Hallett from TheDisciplinedTrader.com to "give us more" on a previous topic he's previously covered, he always delivers. What do I mean? Well, about a month ago Norman wrote a post discussing "Measuring your Trading Experience" and within the article he touched on an important part of many successful trader's daily routiens...a Trading Journal. So after many requests from readers Norman has come back to give us the BEST methods for writing and MAINTAINING a journal.

Here are two very popular basic questions about journaling that keep coming up in our Intensive along with answers that I hope will be helpful for your own journaling:

S&P 500 update (New Video)

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Today I'm going to take another look at the S&P 500 Index. It appears that some of the rose coloring on traders' glasses is beginning to wear thin. Many more traders now perceive this as a two way trading market as opposed to a one way street we witnessed in March and April.

I am going to be analyzing a daily S&P index chart and making some observations that I think potentially could work out if certain elements fall into place.

At the present time our "Trade Triangle" technology is indicating a neutral stance in this market. With the -55 reading our "Trade Triangles" are indicating a trading range which could possibly be an early sign of a reversal.

You can watch this video with my compliments and there is no registration requirements. I would love to get your feedback about this video on our blog.

All the best,
