Trader Development: One Size Does Not Fit All

Trader Development: One Size Does Not Fit All

Sep 9, 2005

Many thanks to Dr. Brett Steenbarger for his recent article which mentions Trade-Ideas. The article’s premise: if we all have different trading styles and plans, why trade using the standard tools in standard ways (e.g., chart configurations, top gainers/losers, CNBC, etc.)? Thus the need for flexible tools for varied styles of trading.

Here is his bio.
Here is the article “September 10th: Trader Development”. Dr. Steenbarger contributes to TradingMarkets.com and other publications which will run this article.

A lot of his recent research involves the examination of tools and methods that process large amounts of data into rapidly assimilated and easy-to-understand information – something that Edward Tufte of Yale University (one of our honorary mentors) describes as, “information throughput”. I hope he writes more articles that develop this theme.
