Position size (2)

Yesterday I was writing something about position size and today I read this interesting article about the subject.

The author sums up various position size variants along with some very usefull links. He comes to the conclussion that a fixed percentage would be the best way for his trading.

Although I trade futures on the DAX with a fixed lot, due to margin I can't vary my position size in my daytrading, it is a must to be awere of the importance of position size to all traders

Two very quick trades today. The first trade came into a nice win position but the market turned immediately. I felt after seeing those spikes in the chart the market could be at a reversal point. I had to close at entry. I tried again and the markets again pushing north to give me 5 points. I didnot trade the rest of the day and I was right about my suspicions, later on the day an evening star in th 60 min chart and a downward movement followed after this pattern.

Two easy trades today. It is not my trading which worries me today but the work I have to do with my main website. I want it to be, beside a place to kep track of our trades, a resource for my trading with some articles and thouhgts about trading. I have now four articles in preparation without having enough time to complete them.

This morning read something about Position sizing which I liked very much.Yesterday I was just thinking of rewriting my website about my moneymanagement and riskmanagement.

Markets maybe in bearish mood again. In a daily chart of the S&P500 we may see a broader Head Shoulder pattern again. See Below.
