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.

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.
