Trading Rules In A Nutshell

Hi all,

I'm finally done with the setup on my new Forexyard Demo account. 

As on our previous posts, trading calls will officially commence from today, and we will review the result of trading on a week to week, month by month, and year by year basis (hope I'm that determined). Let us move in small strides to make this work on a long term.

Summarizing some facts before we start on making market calls, here are some rules that I will be following:
  1. Stops are pre-determined before any entry of trades
  2. Size of trade is determined by the total size of the account, total risk should not be more 1% of the total value of the trading account at any time.
  3. My target return per week is to achieve 0.5% gains weekly. Compound it by 56 weeks, you should get our annual target. (Gains are tabulated on a weekly basis only)
  4. Term of trades may vary between minutes and even up to weeks.
  5. Weekly P&L on the Demo Account no. 77104 will be published at both http://systematic-trading.blogspot.com and http://momentum-trading.blogspot.com
  6. Not necessary to trade every day.
  7. Active momentum trading hours will likely commence from early asia hours at (GMT00:00) to 11pm (GMT15:00). This will be subject to the availability of time to post. I will be making my live calls with a few other friends' at www.marketasiahub.com, as it may be the most suitable platform for real-time trading communications. 
I hope this is sufficient for now. Would welcome more as we move along. The key motive for having this introduction is to maintain a set of rules to decision making which is as systematic as possible. The implementation of more planning tools will be made and discussed in time to come. 

Will be looking forward to your support.

Cheers

Financial Crisis Management

Back in the 80s, when the US government had to deal with a crisis where the Resolution Trust Corporation, which is a holding company formed and housed within the Treasury, to deal with distressed real estate that was funded by loans and savings, the strategy was deemed a sucess where it was later reused by the HK and Indonesian government during the asian financial crisis. This indeed managed to give immediate liquidity and confidence to the markets during such turbulent times. In addition, this came as a win-win situation for the governments, because as these distressed assets were bought in a 'fire-sale' price, which was significantly cheaper than its face value, the governments made profits from such transactions, where in today's case, the similar situation applies. The target of this plan for the purpose of restoring order in the banking system, so banks will remain confident to lend, as well as to free up funds for further lending and use when the economy grows.  Afte...

Market Call

After much thoughts as to how my market calls should be made in order to create the best effect and authencity, here are some details that I would like you to know: All trades made on this  trading  account no. 77104 will be 'real' live trades. A report in the format (shown on the right) will be reported on a weekly and monthly basis. Trades and market calls made by me, are only for the purpose of reference, and is no indication for you to trade and follow.  Entry and exit of trades may be in a matter of minutes, therefore, I would urge readers to follow them closely or to backtrack the results with the use of their charts for authentication of results. See ya soon on market call.

Can Banks Be Trusted?

Today's events have indeed been a thrilling experience experience for the international markets. As I am writing this, the China Central Banks has just cut its key interest rate again by 27 basis points to spur growth, Lehman (est. 1844) has filed for Chapter 11 (Bankruptcy) , there are rounds of ECB having an emergency rate cut, UBS sneaking in to declare another $5B of writedowns, AIG seeking help from the Fed with a request of a $40B bridge loan after rejecting an offer by Flower to prevent themselves from joining the slaughterhouse where their CDs are currently gapping outwards, and it seems that the only few pieces of good news are probably that Merril had a merger with BOA, as well as a consortium of global banks have put together a $70B fund to facilitate liduidity and an orderly resolution between Lehman and their counterparties. ECB also joined in with $30B to curb liquidity woes as well.  In my opinion, it seems like an obvious trend that all Fed Governors are challenged ...
