The Voodoo Trading Post - January 31, 2022

Hi All!

Here's our weekly snapshot of information that we hope will help in your journey as a systematic, rules-based, trader!

Trading Quote 

"A peak performance trader is totally committed to being the best and doing whatever it takes to be the best.  They feel totally responsible for whatever happens and thus can learn from mistakes.  These people typically have a working business plan for trading because they treat trading as a business" - Van K. Tharp

Trading Strategy Tips

  • You need to assemble a diversified portfolio of markets so you always have access to the best trending markets.  Not all markets trend at the same time.
  • Following the rules is the most important characteristic of a good trader.  You should focus on trading correctly and not worry about performance.
