A parameter that is widely used inside Prop Trading Firrms and basically by the majority of short term professional traders is the Maximum Intraday Drawdown. (MID)
The Maximum Intraday Drawdown is the established maximum amount of losses a trader can reach on a single trading day before he/she has to stop trading.

Algo Trading... No Excuses

I started trading CME futures back in 2002 when the transition from the pit to the screen was still not fully accomplished, but since that time, especially retail traders were already complaining a lot about algo trading, the black box, "the machines" for sudden unexplained movements in the markets and moreover for unwanted losses in their trades.

Renko Charts

The renko charts are just one between the many kind of graphical price action representation (price action = the first market dimension). They comes from Japan as well as their "cousin" candlesticks, being actually a sub-category of them and being therefore visually very similar.
Their characteristic is to completely ignore the time factor allowing us to focus our attention entirely on the price action.
We are Traders...

Here below is a commercial ad video. It is just advertising but it is a good colorful synthesis of what our profession is.
It can be useful once in a while to re-watch it to remember us what we are.
Good vision and good trading
Professional Trading and Professional Sporting

Being involved on a daily basis in the financial market since more than 13 years I can definitely state that intraday trading is actually the same as competing in a daily high level sport competition.
As a former motorciycle rider and also today still as a motor enthusiast, when I see on TV a Moto GP race I always find great similarities and inspirations for my trading.
Even as martial artist practitioner, having participated to several competitions and still being used to confront an opponent, I also find here a lot of similarities with my daily trading environment.
Market Knowledge and Trading Performance
©Trading Research - www.trading-research.com - may 2015 - Author: Dr.Roberto Ambrogi
With "Market Knowledge" I mean a deep understanding of the auction market theory, of the dynamics of price action, volume and order flow relatively to the financial instrument/s that one is trading.
Newbies traders which are seriously approaching this profession, need to look at first to a high quality level education, then begin a personal path of never ending study, research and development to reach an always better understanding of the market dynamics.
Market knowledge, however, despite being a crucial element is a necessary but not sufficient thing to ensure enduring trading success in the medium/long term.
Trauma & Moderate Trauma in Trading - How to deal with them (2)
©Trading Research-www.trading-research.com - Marzo 2015 - Autore: Dr.Roberto Ambrogi
Continuing on what has been said on the last article, we can affirm that "Normal Stress Episodes" such as a normal trading loss that meet the trading plan parameters, will be entirely processed on a conscious mind level, any unpleasant emotion will vanish very quickly, judgement capabilities will remain intact, and there won't be any negative effect on our performance.
On the othter hand, "Traumatic Stress Episodes" like Trauma & Moderate Trauma, that bypass the conscious mind level and reach the amygdala, will be processed and internalized with all the emotional components completely intact.
Trauma & Moderate Trauma, how they affect our trading (1)

It is well known that a great psychological trauma, eg. having personally took part in a war, being involved in a terrorist attack, in a big accident, or any other event in which one has risked his own life or even a violent trauma of losing a loved one, a serious illness, etc. leaves a virtually indelible mark on our subconscious mind, and it takes time to learn to live with it and manage it as well as possible.

As a matter of fact, a big trauma even when you think it is "solved" it often resurfaces unexpectedly even with a trigger event that is not directly connected to the original traumatic experience.
Future versus Forex
©Trading Research - www.trading-research.com - february 2015 - Author: Roberto Ambrogi
At Trading Research we trade futures on CME and Eurex exchanges. I pesonally have always traded futures, from the beginning, the reason was that having soon realized the difficulty of the trading field, I wanted my success or failure could depend as much as possible from me, and reduce as much as possible all other factors, aside the market, that I could not control, that is what I would like to explain in this article.
Trading forex is becoming very popular on retail trading mainly due to the little capital needed to be able to start trading.
