Additions to the blog

  • Just opened a twitter account: @FinancialTJ. Will be using this from now on to tweet trade opportunities that I see, since I can’t really blog about that stuff in real time, I’ll use twitter for it whenever I see them. The widget for this is only found on the sidebar for the trade journal, I can’t put it anywhere else on the blog.
  • Also, some people have noticed the Facebook Like box on the side as well, I do have a facebook page set up for this blog, although I find it useless for now. I haven’t gone out to start publicizing the blog via social networks yet. Go check it out and like the page!

Live Trades – December 27th, 2011

So, I did some trades today on TradeRush. Overall pretty good on my part as far as trend spotting goes. They messed up a segment for which I missed a lot of trades, but it’s ok, they refunded me for thie server issues. I hope it never happens again, otherwise their broker review revision may not go so well. I briefly explained it in the trade commentary. Basically server lagged my entry, and since I couldn’t enter, I clicked too many things thinking server lag, in the end, their server treated those extra clicks as multiple entries rather than the initial 1 trade intention. But whatever, onwards and upwards. I actually have trade commentary this time, so yay for that LOL. Also, for readers still confused about how I trade 60 second options, I intend to make at least 1 video in the upcoming youtube video series about 60 second options on TR.

 

 

Summary:

Win Ratio = 17/20 = 85%
P/L = +$40.50
Trade Vol = $100

New Features Coming Soon!!

For the regular readers and possibly the new readers, you may have noticed some changes to the blog.

  • I’ve now split up the Broker section under Binary Options into 2 sections: Broker Overview and Broker Review. To view it: Go to Binary Options > Brokers > Broker Overview or Review to see individual brokers
  • The overview features the brokers that I promote on this blog, I simply provide hte things that traders need to know about such as: clients accepted, banking, instrument type, trade size, ITM/OTM rates and break even range given the ITM/OTM rates. I also list the asset index as well as the company information. I figure this is what you need to know as a trader.
  • Whereas the broker review is what you need to know as a client. So, you’ll read the overview to see what the brokers have to offer and what rating I give them based on that. Then, you’ll read the review to see what I think of the broker from a client’s point of view and how they treat us.
  • The two should compliment each other, unfortunately, I don’t have reviews for all the brokers since I haven’t used them all. I have both overview and review for 24Option, BBinary, StartOptions and TradeRush. I feature the overview for AnyOption since I talked about them briefly in the past + 1 new broker: StockPair. Not exactly a binary option broker, but a really cool concept in which it’ll be sure to intrigue you, more on that later!

More things to come within the next couple weeks:

  1. I plan to set up a twitter feed, not sure how active I will be on there. But, mainly what that’ll be for is to point out trade opportunities when they arise. I may not neccessarily trade them myself, but I’ll be sure to point them out.
  2. The strategy section will have an overhaul, I intend to take it out of the About Me section and move it into it’s own section in the top menu. I’ll probably put it beside Tools.
  3. I figure pictures are worth a thousand words + some words to explain = a thousand and some in words. What’s a video worth? :D I plan to make a series of youtube videos to fully explain and illustrate my strategies used. Everything I’ve currently covered int he blog will be converted into video format. I’ll probably use text to provide an introduction then explain everything else in the video. So watch out for these videos in the coming weeks. Currently trying to figure out the whole audio/video editing etc, and I need a new mic, my current one is crappy, extremely crappy, lots of static in the background.
  4. Possibly will do an awareness campaign to raise awareness for all the potential scammers/fishy things on the market right now.
  5. Lastly, I will make 2 posts for accomplishments (new year’s eve) and goals (new year’s day). These will outline what I’ve done this year + what I’m aiming to do next year.
