[YEAR IN THE LIFE - PART VII]
Severe volatility of the market forced me to the sidelines during this period. It was too hard to the best position was no position. Spent a lot of time working on trade management ideas, spreadsheets etc while I was on the bench.

After this, my monthly average for posting dropped to 6 from about 22. I stepped out of the market for several months, the volatility was too much for a beginner like me.
http://thestudentloanranger.blogspot.com/2008/09/trade-tracking.html despite being out of the market, I continued to work in Excel to create a trade tracking spreadsheet that would fully analyse my completed trades. This was to work out which setups were working, whether i was a bull or bear, my win ratios, average net etc.

http://thestudentloanranger.blogspot.com/2008/10/intra-day-action_21.html despite the mire, I was still able to practice my TA. I was working with smaller time frames and my analysis was good – mostly because I wasn’t putting my money on the line. At this point I think I realised I would rather be an analyst than a trader. I made 4 posts in November and December, the 1 in November was pretty much a token gesture.
