Live Trading Day 7

There was an entry signal for a long trade on Soybeans today however I had to pass on this trade as the risk on the stop loss exceeds the 5% risk as set in my trading rules. However there were three other trades with entry signals that I could take.

Live Trading Day 6

One week into live trading and my mantra is still follow the rules and you cant go wrong. A good friend and mentor of mine recently suggested that I combine one of my passions with my trading, the passion being cooking. Something along the lines of the Share Market Chef or the Trading Cook. Apart from the name there is also, along what lines can I combine the two? If you have any suggestions for me please leave a comment I would love to hear them. My other blog can be found here. Its not very pretty yet as it is still a work in progress.
