Automate as many company processes as possible. Spend more time analyzing the data collected in my trading journal ; quantify which mistakes are happening how often, what they cost, and therefore need the most immediate attention. Eventually automate this process as well. Spend more time outside , with my wife and with my dogs.

The Bank of England is set to remove quantitative easing later this year, the UK Treasury talks about spending cuts, the new VAT coming through in 2010 and the down-and-dirty British Elections are due in May. None of these developments is good for sterling and the UK economy which has yet to recover from recession. Therefore, sterling may regain its status as the whipping boy of FX in 2010.

Sometimes we miss great opportunities because we focus on just a small group of currencies.

Chesterton (Dodd, Mead & Co., 1908), the author presents an argument, which (as a quick summary) serves to analyze the mind of a "maniac", or in other words, the "opinionated views of a madman."

Money is a renewable resource and I make plenty of it.  But time is not.  I can never get time back and the 20th century is fraught with traders spending likely more time in front of the computer than necessary.

Resolutions are like promises and commitments and I do not make promises I do not intend to keep nor do I take on commitments lightly. When I commit to something it’s going to take something really strong to derail me from keeping my commitment. Psychologically once a promise is broken it is too easy to dismiss the entire effort and derail some very good efforts and intentions. So I like the term of “goals” better and so I hereby commit to threeThu, 31 Dec 2009 10:45:09 GMThttp://www.fxstreet.com/education/trading-strategies/forex@fxstreet.com (FXstreet.com)http://www.fxstreet.com/education/trading-strategies/2010-resolutions/2009-12-31.v09.htmlhttp://www.fxstreet.com/education/trading-strategies/2010-resolutions/2009-12-31.v08.htmlThis last year was an eye-opener even after all the years I've been trading futures and forex. And while I try not to make the same mistakes, we're all human, even the "experts" have battles with internal and external psychology.  I think fat too many of us think a trend can go too far (e.g AUD/USD or the U.S. Dollar Index) and the temptation for picking tops or bottoms can be a hard one to resist.

Over the years I have accumulated a lot of trading knowledge, and I tried many trading concepts. At the time when I tried them they might not have worked, but with all these opportunities popping up I will revisit some trading ideas and thoroughly test them to see if they can be applied in today's markets.

I've said it countless times in seminars and webinars, in my books and magazine articles, as well as one-on-one with traders around the world: If there is one key to trading success, it is the development of optimal risk management guidelines and the discipline to follow them. This is true regardless of the particular trading strategy that is used.

I've never been very good at adding to a winning trade or "stacking" as some traders call it. Traditionally I've been a risk-to-reward based trader, but I see the value in starting a position small and adding to it as the market confirms your hypothesis.

I like that my current trading has a live-action feel, but I want to develop more tools for myself that allow me to take advantage of times when I can't be at the computer.

This year I am looking for ways to reduce the so called “streaking” both winning and losing within my trading. My method over time has a great history and track record but like many is prone to “clustering” of winners and losers. Which in the long run is not necessarily a bad thing.
