Grand Opening Celebration!

Can't think of a better way to kick off the www.TradingThingys.com Grand Opening Celebration than to give away a FREE Gift. After all, my friendship and correspondence with most of you started when you downloaded the FREE Trading Target Calculator from my site.

To this day, I continue to give the Trading Target Calculator tool away free. I do this because a T-bond trader named Spencer gave me the prototype for free. That was back when the Internet Trading Forums were all abuzz over discovering POP, Phantom of the Pits. WHAT! You never heard of POP? Get thee to this URL - it's still FREE.  So I don't lose your attention, the links are all at the end.

Recently, trader/teacher Marshall Jones (Marsh) gifted me with a Time Zone and Trade Log spreadsheet. For years I've read about successful traders (Wizards) keeping trading logs and reviewing them daily. 'Til Marsh, no one actually showed me a simple, well thought out Log, nor guided me in its use. What a great tool for learning, reviewing, growing, and maintaining discipline and trading focus!

After using Marsh's Log for a week or so, I decided to give it a slight face lift, and to squeeze out a bit more valuable writing space for each time slot. Oh yeah, I also automated the date and inserted a very useful Floor Traders' Pivot Point Calculator.

In keeping with the mystic principle of "One good deed brings another in it's wake" (rough translation), starting with this Grand Opening Celebration, this enhanced Time Zone and Trade Log with Pivot Point Calculator (MSExcel spreadsheet) will join the FREE Downloads from TradingThingys.com!  Links are at the end, remember?

The default Trade Log setup for Marsh's approach is shown in the figure above. You can alter whatever you require to suit your personal trading style - the Indicators and Time slots that you watch, and key Price-action periods that you feel are important, for example.

The ice blue stripe indicating the Current Price column is to help keep me oriented on the page when the markets are agitated and it's hard to tear my eyes off the charts.

To calculate Pivot Points, simply enter yesterday's High, Low, and Close prices into the Input Panel of the Trade Log. The rest is automatic. You can print the Trade Log out, either double-sided or two single-sided pages, as you prefer. Now you are ready for a more disciplined trading day! Enjoy!
