Mid-Year report card

[trendie]

We have reached the mid-point of the calendar year.
6 months have elapsed.
How is your trading going in comparison to the first 6 months of last year?
On track?
Better year so far?
Better volatility for your chosen markets?
Better trades?
Fewer errors?
Have you implemented any new features in your trading you didnt have last year?
If so, are those changes paying off?

For me, just below median compared to last year. (within 0.3 SD).
Mainly because I am trading a slightly larger TF (60mins and 4hr) to give me more time during day for other things, and I am being too generous with stops.
And I am trading fewer trades, and missing out wobbles where I would normally take small bites.

Also, still bogged down with the grid-trading stuff. Cant make it work meaningfully.

3% off last year but that's due to less time trading as I recently became a daddy. One thing I did chang is move more towards trading through my mobile which as a result, has forced me to work analysis without drawing tools. I am fairly impressed that I am keeping relative pace with my growth 6 months ago when I had more time on my side. Nowadays iam training exclusively through my mobile.

congrats on your progeny.

interesting change in trading, esp mobile.
are you finding that without extra tools, maybe even indicators, are you more attuned to the raw data and patterns?

It's not a drastic change to be honest, my charts used to only consist of horizontal support lines which are easy to eye ball. I have a rather unique approach to analysis where I don't look at patterns but rather price flow and reaction at those levels. Thinking about it though, I am only trading very visible levels which is probably keeping me from trading weak levels.
