Monthly Review Roundup For February 2007

On a monthly basis, several bloggers review their trading and I thought it would be a good idea to try to collect them all and put them together in one post-of-links.

Many give great insights into the past month of trading and it's great to see what various bloggers have learned and the difficulties some of us had.

By doing this, I hope that readers out there can learn or perhaps even relate to what we, as trading bloggers, went through during the past month.

I have a feeling that February was moving along just fine for most trading bloggers out there. But then came the big fall in the markets and with volatility way up, some of us took a hit, thus affecting some of our numbers (mine included).

During the last few days of February, volatility has been way up, so I hope all of you out there can adjust your trading accordingly! Here's this month's review roundup:

• TraderGav seems to be getting back on track and considering he took one week of in February, he did well in almost achieving his monthly target

• Dave at StockTickr also did a great job and even though the number of trades he did was low, he was close in achieving 10R on the month

• I just wish my "profit distribution days" chart looks like ZBS's as he had his best month ever in February and made $14500+ for the month! Way to go ZBS!

• Tyro continues working on his new trading strategy and despite his profits coming off their highs during the month, he still finished up 4.5R

• HighChartPatterns highlight their February as they continued to adjust their stop-losses on their trades

• Lord Tedders at the Forex and eMini Futures blog also was very close in achieving his goal in February and managed to capture 15.4 points, just shy of his goal of 20 points

• Brian at Trade 4 Cash was cruising along just fine in February...until the last few days, however he learned a couple of lessons and is making adjustments accordingly, which I think every good trader should do

• Luka also had it tough in February (just like quite a few of us), but he is still up for the year

• Richard at MoveTheMarkets does a great February review in which he didn't trade much, which might be a good thing and sure beats losing money

• Bill at NoDooDahs had a good win-to-loss ratio on his closed positions in February and he still maintains some really good open positions

• I love how UglyChart calls his automated trading system (ATS) that "Damn Thing" and in February, Ugly ran into many problems with The Damn Thing and continues to configure it for March

• Caravaggio at The 3500 shows us his results on a week-by-week basis and is still up on the year as he continues to adjust his trading plan accordingly

• Phileo really takes a real hard look at his trading in a month that was profitable, but costly mistakes hampered his progress

• Lastly, there's me, who was all good and dandy coming up to the last few trading days in February...but then my trading simply fell apart and I ended the month with only marginal improvements in terms of profits
