What do you plan on improving?

 

What will you start doing new in 2013?

Etc..

 

What's your trading new years resolution?

As for myself, I plan on pushing myself out of my comfort zone and start taking some trades in longer timeframes (daily, weekly.) I usually scalp and trade intraday, which has a lot to do with my work's influence in equities where our trade floor is flat by the end of the day no matter what, but I've been experimenting with longer timeframes and strategies that would be considered swing trading and I can't ignore that there's opportunity to be had using strategies that hold for weeks or months. (Can't let myself get set in my ways, gotta expand my ability to include trading styles that aren't my main digs.)

I think an interesting question would be - how many people stuck to their new years resolutions that they made in January 2012?

 

Regarding my resolutions for 2013 - I'm not aiming to do anything particularly different this year. The things that I will do (and these are not really new years resolutions, it's just ongoing work) are:

 

Find myself a truly decent honest broker (yes, yes, I know), or at the very least one that gives me the best chance of success who doesn't take the opposite side of my trades.

 

Still be around trading at the end of the year.

 

Improve myself as a person.

 

Improve the way I trade.

 

Increase my understanding of the way that markets and the financial world in general work. Because a person could be forgiven for thinking that it's all just corruption and multiple giant ponzi schemes, and of course it can't really all be like that, can it (ahem).
