| Introduction | I've been a full time trader since early 2003, and part time for a few years before that. My style is a mix of swing, momentum and day trading. The time frame of trades varies from minutes to months, but most trades would be completed within a week. After playing with countless technical indicators in the early times, I now pretty much keep it simple in regards to tools used to find potential trades. Simple breaks of support and resistance, swings in trending stocks, breaks from tight trading ranges and simple patterns, that pretty much sums it up. I should add that although I search for trades based on set ups mentioned above, I am very much a discretionary trader. In 2008 I finished in 2nd place (from 20,000 odd registered contestants), in the CNBC Trading Matters Challenge. I've been featured in July 2007 and April 2008 issues of Smart Investor magazine, and I regularly comment in AFR Market Wrap Online. But most importantly, I'm still learning something about this game every day! |
