Weekend reflection process
RJ: the asker of great questions, asked: Hi Ken, Do you have anything written on a weekend review process for a trading journal and trade chart markups? Double loop learning requires review of work but I don’t have a well-defined process for weekend reviews. I searched the chatroom and your essays but either didn’t use […]
Approaching trading as a High Reliability Organization (HRO)
We know from scholarly and popular literature that 90% of new businesses fail in the first five years as an additional 90% fill in the next five years and yet there are groups of organizations that are remarkably successful while operating the most difficult of circumstances when you would expect failure to be the norm.

the engineering approach to problem solving
The hybrid approach you referred to I think reflects the sense of the sociotechnical process. I can’t imagine why people and organizations would not intentionally adopt that as the default position when considering organizational issues, and yet I see people polarizing around either or approach all time in my organization.

Why trade?
I have to trade because of the intellectual and emotional challenge and the satisfaction I get from trading well. I love to trade because I find it interesting, and it challenges me every day to discover who I am and what I can do. I like to trade because it combines my passions for action, research, intellectual challenge and adaptation. Trading […]
Increase in gold margins as a way to force money into the market to spur the “recovery”
raising the margins on gold is the government’s way of making it harer for people who can see what they are doing to the currency and the economy to profit. As a way of comparison, the chart below shows the effects on silver when the same tool was used.
Maxine Waters: pathetic racist running out of patience
Maxine Waters cant understand why her quid hasnt earned and pro quo’s. She makes Sheila Jackson Lee look reasonable and then asks her constituents to give her permission to be a leader, lest anyone gets their feelings hurt. yeah, that makes me want to send more tax money to Washington Related articles Police: School bomb […]
