FOMO Trade - Never Chase a Trade

ASTS was an example of a trade that I was chasing rather than letting it come to me. It started with not having enough conviction on my it due to its fundamentals although the setup was good early on. ASTS provided for a few good setups albeit with a large daily range/stop which wasn't conducive for risk taking. Refer to the red shaded cicle in the diagram below.

USIC (US Investing Championship)

This is my third year at the United States Investing Championship. I have finally taken the plunge to documents my journey and thoughts along the way.

Quiet often journeys are about the stories of success; my journey is of the struggle to find the success which has been elusive till now. The hunger remains to be the best as I love the world of stocks.

I post my trades using @the_twigg_ which is my twitter account. I will be keen to connect with like minded people and share their journies along the way. Those travelling to Sydney and participants in USIC or from the world of investing, give me a shout and we can catch-up for a coffee/lunch.

Understanding the 100 Percent Downside in Risk Management

When I make a 5000 $ investment, the assumption is that the downside risk is limited to 5000 $ only. This is especially compared to the unlimited potential that any increase has.

Be comfortable with doing nothing

Directionless or choppy markets are the most difficult to trade. The last month and a half has been a similar difficult, directionless market conditions. In the past, I haven't managed these conditions very well; giving a lot away. Embracing patience and the inkling to keep doing something daily has been my bane. "Embrace quiet and silence". "Be comfortable with doing nothing". One of the pleasing things this time around has been the fact that I have given up only 5% drawdown
