Trading Journal
Our very own trade journal template (Microsoft Excel and virus free). (If you have trouble viewing the page on-line, right-click on the link above and "save target" to download to your personal machine"). Most successful traders use a journal to record their daily trades, why they entered, why they exited. We also like to record how long we stayed in a trade and find it useful for periodic analysis. One can learn a lot about personal trading patterns by routinely reviewing results and which types of trades worked better than others. This may be a suitable starting point for some...see how it fits your style and modify to taste.

Barton's Asia Charts
A good site to get one chartist's views on global markets.

Elite Trader Forums
With more than 29,500 members, an interesting place to see other views and learn about brokers, trading ideas, software etc from other professional traders. But beware, go here only if you have a lot of time on your hands. Actually, we'd recommend staying away - there are some interesting characters, but most of the "trading" posts degenerate into uncivilized exchanges - it's almost a mini soap opera about traders. We think it's more useful for getting opinions on brokers, software and technology.
