Great post Kevin..

I like to here how other people are trading and we are very similar in our trading styles.

Differences/things not mentioned

1. I cannot trade without some detailed analysis of the long term chart, even when I am doing day trades. "Those you do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it" or something like that.

2. I always do some on the fly fundamental analysis to make sure the trade won't turn quickly on me. This may be as basic as reading the past 3-5 news releases or as complicated as reading most of the news and last few sedar reports. Although stop-losses will stop large losses it always makes me feel more comfortable about the trades I am entering.

3. I like to see large chunks hitting the bid before I jump in. This way I know some big players are involved and it is not just retail buying pumping up the price.

Best Regards
KEITH
