New Blog

Hey, just wanted to say hello. New blog I will be updating. I trade equities (typically options).

I've been in the market for approx. 10 years now. I'm 23 years old and started investing when I was about 15. I made my first trade in April of '98 and invested until I began swing trading 4 years ago. I made decent money but then switched to daytrading about a year ago in which I lost nearly all of my equity. With that said, I learned a lot VERY quickly. It was a double-edged sword to say the least. Since then i've stopped daytrading and been mostly profitable (albeit very slowly).

I used technical and fundamental analysis to make my trades as well as gut feeling which I have accumulated over the years. I primarily prefer to use technical analysis to make my trades and will always lean toward the charts rather than my own opinions. I have been studying technical analysis for 4 years and sadly only my studies from the past year have been fruitful (I have daytrading to thank for that though).

As a final note I want to say that both technical AND fundamental analysis can and must both be used to make money in the market.
