Let me start with the BeTrade blog about a new trading community (which is inside the PT multistation trading platform)...

 

btw, not that this blog is very useful to most of us (since its specifically about a software product) - its just that I'm using this platform...

Thanks for all bakrob99. Could you just clarify this one? - as it looks like you made a typo in the link name: electroniclocal.com

Its easy to find a list of top trading blogs like this one in Google, but I'm looking for recommendations from traders who really use them.

 

What are the your favorite trading blogs that you really read and find useful?

[lbj 10]

Obviously I have to say my blog lol

 

I don't see anyone commenting on your posts, but looks like you've got a nice blog in the making there. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK and thx for info...

I read this one often, its great for technicals across a wide range of markets, but the fundamental stuff is not as useful in my experience.

Great forum. Just found it today and looking to be a regular visitor.

Take a look at tradermike.net. It is an interesting site in itself but the blogroll on the right hand side has a number of good sites. The kirk report and slope of hope are two that I go to quite often.

 

Cuttshot

[lbj 10]

Thanks a lot, cuttshot.

 

Tim Knight's Slope of Hope is a real quality one - and I've never seen so many comments on posts on a trading blog!

Trader Mike seems to be popular too - I've now seen this blog mentioned in different places actually...

 

Looks like need to pay for the Kirk Report.

Here's my blog about my practice, scalping and algorithmic trading. It's in french language but since some weeks, I use the google widget and I think my work is accessible to international languages.

It's very difficult to maintain a blog every day or every week in my own language and impossible to translate by myself in other language but now with technology, it's possible.

I would like to know if you understand the blog's content. My english language isn't very good but with the google widget the translation seems better.

 

Have a good day!

 

Oops! I forgot to give you the blog's adress: www.ykarius.fr

Big Mike as in big mikes forum? The only thing I would say about that one is that, when I was looking at it, there was a big thing about 'the hurrley trading method'.... After that i've never been able to take that site seriously

for automated - longer term trend traders. This is not about short term scalping or day trading

Here's a blog by some crazy guy, struggling to become successful. Ha! Imagine!

Who actually puts this stuff down like this? Crazy...

After a bit of research, I found these ones with lots of comments (so assuming they are well read too):

Daneric's Elliott Waves

Market-Ticker - MarketTicker Forums

[eztraderjr 10]

I am only reading one blog and it is from a gentleman who I found in Sierra Charts forum. He trades NQ and posts his idea on what he thinks will happen during the day as well as the areas where he will look to trade. Then he actually posts many of his trades (you can see them in the DOM portion of Bracket Trader that he shows). He uses a lot of different charts but is uncanny in nailing the turning points. Usually hits at least one or two 8 point or more trades a day.

Hi guys,

 

I'm Nick - a newb. What are people looking for from Blogs when you start trading? I've been doing some homework and I'm struggling to know who to trust!? There's loads of opinions out there but how do other people choose who to listen to? The cynic in me thinks...If someone had a winning strategy - why would they share it??

[cuttshot 11]

Nick,

 

First welcome to traderslab. You are very right that there is an endless number of blogs available for one to look at. For me personally, I look for a few things. I like to see what people are trading. I can only look at so many markets myself so if I can pick up a new idea here or there then that's great. However, I would never let a blog influence my own trade plan or system. I have a system that I feel very confident in at the moment and I'm not going to let a blog influence how I trade that system.

 

I will also read blogs that post opinions on topics in the news. Anything related to finance interests me so I like to read about whats going on. This is just more for enjoyment than doing it to help my daily trading.

 

Finally, if I'm interested in a new market or new product then I will look to people that have experience in those areas. For example, I'm very interested in weekly options right now so I'm looking for people that have experience trading them.
