Dear All,

This post mainly addressed to the moderators of this site and I would like to hear thoughts of forum members as well. This is a great forum but I though we could make it even better by making small improvements. It feels like (someone would say its my “belief” ;-)) we would benefit from having some “sticky” posts on fundamental aspects of trading which would include major pitfalls or principles of trading. For example, we discuss systems a lot and would really benefit from a sticky topic actually explaining “what is a system? what parts does it have? where to start? how to test it? What really matters?. Some other examples may include:

1. Money management  – probably one of the most important aspects
2. Stop loss – do you need one and ideas on where to place it
3. How to use different time frames?
4. Psychology – what all this staff is about and how to train your brain?
5. Book reviews – what i read and found useful
6. Backtesting vs Real Trading experience

Obviously someone would say you have ‘search’ option. That’s true, but if you want to create a system then you need to have a systematic approach. Otherwise some fundamental things will be missing.

It would especially help new forum members. Please share your thoughts.

Regards,
