Securities Trading from Both Sides of my Brain



i suggest that successful trading requires a certain level of two things: cognitive intelligence (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ).


We use our cognition to 'plan the trade' and our emotion to 'trade the plan'.


the greater these two skillsets are, and the more in balance they are with each other, the greater the chance of trading success and ultimately trading mastery.

Quantifiable Edges: Studies from Rob Hanna that I should do further modeling on

The following links are to studies that Rob Hanna posted on his Quantifiable Edges blog from 5/22/2008-8/24/2009 that I should do some further modeling on:

  • CBOE Equity Put/Call finishes more than 25% below its 200 day moving average
  • From a High to a Low in 1 Day
  • Large Gaps up from a 1 Month High
  • NYSE New Highs Contract While SPX Makes a 50-day High
  • Slowing Rate of Decline Potentially Short term bullish
  • Volume Low and Price High Often Leads to a pullback
  • SPY closes in the bottom 10% of its daily range but still above yesterday's close
  • S&P is oversold going into a Fed Day

I will continue to review Rob's blog for additional market behavior research.

I have been actively trading the US Capital Markets since 1996. I earned my living from 1999-2010 by profitably trading for my own account. I have recently returned to my IT roots, but still continue to trade my IRA. I love talking about markets, so feel free to leave a comment.
