Today we continue with the series. Yesterday, I showed how I use fundamentals to provide a context. But, it’s technicals that determine the details - they provide with the timing, entry, stop etc for an analysis or trade.

The current state
The call to adventure

I am writing to advertise an event held by Share Investor in Singapore on December 2008.

Today, I was re-reading Joseph Campbell’s “The Power of Myths”. It struck me that traders are unsung heroes; and like the unsung heroes of myth, they embark on a journey that entails an adventure of great risk; and they so embark, more often than not, ill-prepared.
So today I start a series of blogs that look […]
