Every Traders Resource: The Kirk Report
The Kirk Report is an amazing resource for any trader. Part technical analysis, part trade coach, all heart. I came across Charles Kirk about 2004, at that time I was only trading the currency market, but still found great information about the markets and trading in general from his daily reports. After a year I chased another shiny object for my trading and let my membership lapse.
Last year, I was asked to manage a trust fund. It really shifted my thinking from trading on my own, to now being accountable to the trust members for my results. I felt more pressure about this than I should have, but decided to sign up again for the Kirk Report, to get that daily perspective on the market that he brings everyday.
I should never have left.
The daily premarket strategy report is my daily jump start to my trading. I get my focus for the day the reading daily overview. Next I always read the daily reading links, which are a great way to expand you thinking on the issues of trading. It must be a full time job just to collect the sources for this part of the report. And finally the daily meditation, is always trade related and usually a life lesson as well.
How has The Kirk Report helped this last year? I am trading more confidently and less emotionally. As far as gains, given the conditions this year, it is hard to tell how much better my trading is. I expect that the level of my trading has improved a great deal, and will be proven in more difficult conditions. Looking back, taking on the trust trading, forced me to become a much more disciplined trader, The Kirk report is a big part of that growth.
