I was considering doing a more comprehensive year in review, but the beauty of my monthly retrospectives is I’ve effectively already done that. My “year in review” would merely be a re-hash of the tales I’ve already laid bare on a monthly basis anyway. The key lessons have been chronicled, my highs and lows spelled out.

These monthly musings take quite a bit more prep work than my usual weekly commentary. I have to review all my closed trades, identify the winners and losers, and make sure I understand precisely why I made or lost money.

As is always the case in October, earnings stole the show. The largest companies on the planet stepped up to the plate to reveal whether their ongoing ascensions were built on fluff or actual earnings growth.

Ever wonder how a billionaire hedge fund manager defines progress? I have. All the time.

Today’s post continues a long line of retrospectives. But unlike its predecessors, this one is bound to bring pain instead of pleasure. And that, friends, is because September was my first losing month of the year. Was it because I was a dum-dum? Or was it simply because market conditions soured for my systems and a loss was inevitable? Read-on and you’ll find out!

The close of each month provides a time for reflection. I scour my trade journal in search of clues, lessons left by winning and losing trades. I’m convinced that there are only so many mistakes you can make.

Well someone hasn’t been minding the store. Here we are in mid-August and I’ve yet to do my monthly rumination. Just think what lessons I might have lost from July’s trading!

With the Cash Flow Condors launch now settling down it’s time to return my monthly retrospectives. It’s already the middle of July and I’ve yet to give June its due. If you’re a newcomer to my home then welcome, friend! I’m the Technician and these are my Tales.

Adios May. We hardly knew ye. But you will go down as the second best month of the year for my trading account so thanks for that! I’ll commemorate your contributions by unleashing yet another in a growing line of insightful retrospectives.

Another month is in the books. And with that, I’m ready to roll out my fourth monthly retrospective. One thing I was reminded of last month is the reality of diversification.

My mindset is completely different now. How I approach my finances and manage my businesses plus how I talk to my kids about money and their future is no longer the same.

April is upon us, and you know what that means – another monthly retrospective! I can already feel the good vibes bubbling to the surface. Lest you are unaware, I’ve started a new series this year here at Tales of a Technician.

Time for the second installment of our monthly retrospectives. If you missed last month’s, then your life is half as joyful as it should be and not nearly entertaining enough.

To extract every last ounce of goodness from market movements this year, I’m launching a new feature here at Tales of a Technician. It will be a retrospective where I look back on the previous month to highlight what I did right, what I did wrong and key trades that defined my bottom line.

Trading can be a lonely sport. I needed community, a place I could go for inspiration and accountability. A place where seeing others trade made me want to trade.

You, friend, are your worst enemy. And if you don’t discover the elixir for staving off self-sabotage quickly you’ll suffer the fate of so many traders who have come and gone before you: Death and destruction.

This action plan is meant as an introduction to both Tackle Trading and trading itself. Let’s begin!

When Steve Andrus graduated from college to play basketball internationally, he didn’t expect he’d really need to worry about money management. Even at $40 commission per trade, he could either buy and hold particular securities or put moneys into mutual funds. Unfortunately, an unscrupulous money manager was Steve’s contact for investing, leaving Steve withREAD MORE

The world of “what-ifs” is exciting, but often becomes an endless stream of time-wasting if one forgets to bring along a dash of moderation. Sometimes excessive tinkering yields the complete opposite result than originally intended.

Un saludo de España! Coach D sends warm regards from the southern most tip of the European Continent, in Tarifa Spain, just a stones throw from Morocco on the northern tip of Africa… The sun is warm, the air is clean and we’ve been running with the bulls… in Oil and Silver that is. Don’tREAD MORE
