Two good quotes from the Anton Kreil video are: 1. Professionals use 80% Fundamental Analysis s and only 20% Technical Analysis. - Very true, but that is the Strategists who instruct the traders, rather than the traders. 2. You can't come up with 9 ...

The good thing about trading at set 'higher Volume' times and News Trading is that I can plan my breaks between set of trades. I don't have to wait for a trade that might come along at any old time - I know exactly when a potential trade is likely ...

It is because of my new more restricted capacity to hold focus for periods of time that I am keeping my trades short. Before my bypass operation I might well have held my last Crude Inventories short trade for longer. As it was I had exited before ...

As to how I made +9.2%, it was just the same way that I made 15% last week and +4.2% the week before etc. Just as I outlined in the Skype chat that I posted in post number 282. I trade both the API and EIA crude Inventories; I trade the Dax at the ...

I had another solid week (+9.2%), but hardly made anything (about +0.3%) on the EIA Crude Oil Inventories. However, I want to show how easy it can be to make money on the Inventories report: This is a screenshot of a Liquidity Heat Map from Sam who ...

I hope Ray doesn't mind, but here is a screenshot of his (pre-Inventories) trade which he held into the release. He notified current students of it by Twitter (but obviously only after he had entered, but before it squeezed above 46.50) about 2 hrs ...

AT last a decent result trading the Crude Oil Inventories. Regular readers will know that I used to typically do between +3% and +6% on the EIA Crude Inventories for most of 2015 and 2016. But since my operation I have not been trading it so well ...

Two things worth mentioning: 1. It appears that Ray is preparing to teach another full class (for new students) plus a 'catch-up Bootcamp' for previous students who have not been in his room much since he started covering more on 'Value' and ...

My operation in late December seems to have been good for my trading. I am a cautious person, so it is too early for me to tell if I have conquered my psych problems enough to turn my trading around, but I have had much fewer (and smaller) losing ...
