In all this time, this is Podcast 68, I have not had a full presentation on trading plans. The answer is partly because I just haven’t gotten around to it yet, partly because the detailed topic of trading plans may not be best for a podcast, and partly because many people feel this to be a boring topic. However, it is among the most important topics. So listen a little even if you don’t want to.In all this time, this is Podcast 68, I have not had a full presentation on trading plans.

A while back I did a podcast that was simply titled “Time frames” which discussed some of the basics and what you may choose to focus on as a trader. This podcast is a little more advanced and based on constant questions I receive, so I will try to clear up some misconceptions about the differences in time frames and how we make money from the different time frames. If you are very new, by time frames I’m talking about the difference between long-term investing, which may use a weekly or monthly chart, to swing trading which typically uses the daily chart, to intraday trading which may use anything from a 60 minute down to a one minute or even a “tick” chart.

While on one hand this may seem like a fairly basic topic, I get a lot of questions that let me know that a lot of traders are confused about risk management versus trade management. I have talked specifically about the “risk unit” back in Podcast #35, and a lot of comments in general about trading management back on podcast #25. However, this podcast is devoted to discussing how they tie together and emphasizing how they both are critical for success and perhaps the true number one reason for failure.
