Mid-Week Charts, As Promised
It’s amazing what a couple of days can do, isn’t it? I had loads of stocks come up in my scan this morning – obviously not all of them were ideal for my style of trading but I’ve got a few to share that look the goods. Due to risk restrictions on my portfolio, I …

Which sadly, is pretty much everything. After coming back from a couple of weeks off, I was surprised to see not one of my set orders for last week triggered! Goes to show the state of the market at the moment, really, and is one of the reasons I like to put my orders in …

How To Get a $5000 Trading Education For Free
Sometimes you have a day that just makes you think, ‘Now this – this – is why I’m a blogger.” There are days I wonder why I bother blogging at all. There are thousands of financial bloggers out there who are better/more informed/funnier/cleverer than me, so why do I persist? There’s actually a variety of …

The Problem With Cutting Risk
It surprises me how quickly after a few losses my whole psychology has the potential to turn to smoosh. I stop and listen to myself think, sometimes, and have no choice but to come to the conclusion that I can be really quite screwed up. Trading-wise, that is. But that’s to be expected. Traders, especially …
My name is Jess. I’m an Aussie girl (or maybe I’m a woman – I’m not sure where the cut-off is). I’m a Mum to my daughter and two sons, a wife to my one husband, and a friend to anyone who knocks on the door – particularly if they come bearing red wine. Or any kind of wine, really. More >>
