Our focus is on technical analysis, which we feel offers timely guidance on entries, exits, profit targets, and risk management, as well as portfolio and equity curve analysis.   We also discuss the important issues of psychology in trading, such as loss aversion and confirmation bias.  Find out more about Dan here, as well as hear what some of our traders have to say.
