Dave Landry's Trading Simplified

Improving Your Trading Performance Through Discretion

Dave Landry

Dave Landry


In this week's edition of Trading Simplified, Dave takes a break from his series on Jesse Livermore to discuss his methodology in action. He revisits his core methodology by showing the ultimate goal of catching longer-term trends and how money and position management can occasionally make that possible. Then, using live examples, he shows how discretion could be used to improve performance by allowing wiggle room (within reason) on the trailing protective stop, and also explains when to take partial profits slightly early.
