Trade Selection Timeframe

Well, I've had a week frustrating. No opportunity to trade until Friday, and no opportunity to work on my website and newsletter service. NOT Happy!

But then, what happens to us all occasionally. Life has a habit of not consulting with us before playing with our plans.

What happened? Well, before trading that used to work as a driver, with a specialty in aviation security. I have had a link to that industry, and still do a job on a part-time basis. Normally not a big problem at all and I can fit my life around. Sometimes, however, a bit of a crisis happens (the security is not so!) And I have to travel far, so ... my plans just does not matter.

Yes, I know. I have no one to blame but myself. After all, I choose to do this. And this probably has no relevance to their lives. So let me get down to business - how this story relate to the title of this article - "Trading Timeframe Selection.

Ok, those of you who have been on my site for a while we know that a trading day is mine. I like the short term. Something more minutes to 5 years is too long for me. Why is that? Well, actually for several reasons:

1. More action.
2. Tighter stops (I hate big losses).
3. Psychologically, I'm a bit of a control freak - I like to control a trade from beginning to end.
4. I sit in cash when I do not trade, so it's no problem if I called and could not negotiate for a day or two.

In fact, it's all psychology!

I used to trade daily charts several years ago and really hated the "surprise" day when I got up to see what the U.S. market had made my position overnight. Now, when I'm negotiating, I can handle trade close. And when I'm not shopping, I'm out of the markets. Simple!

Day-trading is simply a perfect fit for my psychology. And that only happens to fit my lifestyle as well, because if I have to disappear quickly could I open operations in the markets.

For some strange reason, makes about six weeks, I decided I must consider trade daily charts more because it would give me more time to work on the website of the Trade Education and Newsletter. I decided to trade stock options, which I would rather set the routes of the risks and benefits of theta decay. Great plan! So I went on trading simulation for a couple of months, just to make sure it works for me. Well, everything was fine until this week.

Suddenly, I could not control my operations. I stay in the market with a positive delta overall portfolio, and have no access to a computer to adjust the trade, the Dow fell 358 points. Not a big thing Indeed, as is simulation. The position was in profit, and only sits at a slight loss, so with three weeks until the expiry There is still a great opportunity to work my way out of trouble. Of course, if it was live I had called my broker and closed all the positions.

But here's the real lesson for me:

1. Daily charts do not match my lifestyle
2. No daily charts match my psychology, and
3. Daily charts do not match my risk tolerance.

I was not comfortable positions during the night when could not control. And the speed of all "(or the lack of speed) from the game frustrated me. I could get used to this? Of course! But why bother when I already found my niche. I am a day trader. Why try to change?

So what is the perfect time?

The only way to find out is to try different alternatives. These days you can get a demonstration or a simulation platform to almost all markets, and timetable. So there's no excuse not to deal with different deadlines to find the one that suits your psychology like a glove.

Try short time frames for a couple of weeks. Try the intermediate deadlines for a month or so, say the graphics of 1 or 4 hours. Try the daily charts for a couple of months. While you in it, try the weekly charts.

What first attracted is not necessarily the best system for their psychology or lifestyle. When I arrived for the first time in negotiating trade weekly charts on stocks. This changed quickly to daily charts. And after several years is increasingly shorter and shorter. Maybe not a trading day would have suited me at the time, but the thing is that I never think of trying something else. If I had Indeed, it could have saved years of "daily chart 'pain.

So what are you waiting for? Test your calendars and find right for you - the term that matches your lifestyle and your trading psychology.

Happy trading
