SnapTrader Lives...

It's been several months since I've updated the blog, and in fact, even several months since I've posted on this site. I suppose I owe an explanation.

I started the blog in order to share some ideas about my trading, and to better crystallize my own strategies. After doing that for a long time, I felt that there wasn't much more to say. During the past few months while on hiatus, I spent a lot of time better defining by trading rules and strategies. I defined and backtested entries, exits, position sizing, money management, and all position management. In fact, I feel so confident in my trading approach today that I spend only a few minutes per day on the actual trades... now that's SnapTrading!

Finally, there are a couple more items to share with readers. First, while this might shock you, I am trading primarily stocks these days. I still do some options, but this is restricted to 10% or less of my account. Second, I am having all trades and results audited by Covestor. The chart to the right shows the Covestor monitored results. I figure if I want to build a track record, this is a small initial step. There is no fudging the numbers, as they are linked directly to my brokerage account. Also, there is a Covestor stamp at the top of the page as well, which as you can see, indicates my membership since Feb 2010.

Over the next few posts I will fill in some details about my trading approach, rules, and strategies.

Good Trading...
