The story of Yirbu

Packing my stuff... Off to a cabin deep in the woods.
Hiking, reading and good simple food.
Any recommended trading reads?

Any Market Wizards
Phantom of the pit
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

I haven't read many books but I did like these

I also read Fooled by Randomness and Black Swan

Nice! More titles. Did not know Tom wrote a book. Thx!

Had some nice days in the woods.
I took some books and did read "Best loser wins" from Tom. Planned to read more but the weather was great and I found out there were a lot of letters in his book.

He has a good message to tell and I did learn something. I do feel he could have written the book in 75% less pages.
Took the best bits and I know this will make my trading a lot better.
Thanks Tom.

Walked a lot during the day and worked on finetuning my trading skills in the evening.

It did work out on my first new trading day.
NFP day and the day started slow. After the news I did some trades trying to benefit from a bounce. Eventually I went long on US30, added to my position the first chance I got (Thx again Tom) and held it as long as I could. (Just over an hour).
US30 gave me a welcome home present.

Today I had loss after loss after loss.
Eventually I had to stop trading because losses were piling up too much.
Luckily I am in this trade. It's not going to pay back all my losses but it's a good start.
If we make a new daily low I might hold it over night as it looks like a good short on a larger TF.

Look at that beauty.
I was waiting for price to go down again when I thought: "Lets make some empanadas".
Missed the boat but got some tasty empanadas. Mallorca style.

The "other" sma is experimental; I feel the sma should be a bit slower sometimes.

Lazy day. Autumn has begun.....was hanging around doing nothing today.
4 trades, one cost trade. Managed to grab about 100-ish points on the Dax.
