What I mean't to say was <B>"hindsight trading"</B>, where you look back at a chart and say "Yea, I could've pulled 10 points if I was trading that"; I am opposed to hindsight trade calls, but I'm all for hindsight analysis. I agree, it's very useful and drills the patterns into the mind. That's exactly why I mark up my trade charts. I also markup other charts that I don't post here on the Blog, and it's essentially hindsight analysis :)<BR/><BR/>Regarding the job search; I haven't really been pushing too hard. I have a couple of recruiters trying to find me something, and have lunch scheduled with one more recruiter for tomorrow. I'll be out of town on a business trip the first 2 weeks in April, and will really begin the search when I get back.E-Mini Playerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254731622932971485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032445040623191995.post-30083348409772359052009-03-24T11:08:00.000-05:002009-03-24T11:08:00.000-05:00Nice job on the day; it looks like your consistenc...Nice job on the day; it looks like your consistency is improving, which is awesome. <BR/><BR/>And don't talk smack on the hindsight analysis! That can be a very useful exercise. It's just like reviewing game film, which all good teams, players and coaches do. Being mindful of what you did well and not so well can have a very positive impact on your subconscious mind and I think we rely on that a lot during the trading day. It also helps you better recognize the patterns so that when you are trading in real time, you have a better chance at executing. So don't be a hater, man! :)<BR/><BR/>How is the job hunt coming by the way? You live in the heartland - get a trading job hell's sake!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032445040623191995.post-678406040444752292009-03-23T20:26:00.000-05:002009-03-23T20:26:00.000-05:00I don't like doing hindsight analysis since it's s...I don't like doing hindsight analysis since it's so easy to say I could have pulled 5-10 more points, when in reality, you and I both know it's very different and difficult processing the information in real-time. If history is any guide, I probably would have given back the morning gains in the afternoon session LOL :-DE-Mini Playerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254731622932971485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9032445040623191995.post-58869121586204787892009-03-23T20:12:00.000-05:002009-03-23T20:12:00.000-05:00Would you have made money in the P.M.?ie... would ...Would you have made money in the P.M.?<BR/><BR/>ie... would you have taken the bitch for all she was worth? ;)Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415789784418536589noreply@blogger.com
