To get back on on topic a little I've been crunching some numbers off the journal to get some random facts to see how I'm travelling.
This is all self analysis and not research. Just thought it might help me to put it out there so I am accountable to some extent.
Winning trade ratio 71%
That to me should be acceptable, so long as I follow the plan and limit losses.
More time spent on selection may increase the ratio but would also eliminate some income via missed opportunities.
(Also taken from statistics in journal before commencing to DT.)
Early days yet and still learning, still making mistakes. (Stupid ones I mean like accidentally taking the wrong side of a trade doing things in a rush, good thing I'm not authorized to short stocks.)
Rate of return acceptable but could be better if I had followed plan.
That's me for the moment. No advice intended. None asked for. (Unless anyone has next Fridays Financial Review to share.)
