Amazing trading blogs to read now

First of all, the regular blog that I blog a lot more frequently.

www.wiseoftheday.blogspot.com
Full of non-trading stuff, funny and nonsense articles...
Its a blog I started to share interesting stuff that will make us laugh and ponder...
The updates are much more frequent there!


These are the blogs that I read regularly.

For Options Trading
http://wilddreamsinoptionsselling.blogspot.sg/
By wild-dreams

He has a successful record in trading options on S&P  futures (mini ES).
Recently he started venturing into commodities options, such as crude oil, soyabeans etc.
Good to know his entry points.

By Tony.

He deal with options in Nikkei N225 and KOSPI K200.
The good thing about this blog is that whenever his trade goes wrong, you can see how he attempt to repair and salvage the trades to reduce his losses. All traders will hit some losses, instead of plain Stop - Loss, it is good to repair the trade, sometimes in advance.


Cillin Trading Journal
http://cillinsg.blogspot.sg/

Journal of a trader who trades from US Dollar Index, to commodities, to equity indices to forex.
He has many charts and analysis. My favourites are his COT (Commitments of Traders)
COT is a good guide to understand if you are dealing with futures in your trade. Find out how the big boys and the commercials are handling the commodities supply and demand swings.

The Weekly COT Report

The weekly report details trader positions in most of the futures contract markets in the United States. Data for the report is required by the CFTC from traders in markets that have 20 or more traders holding positions large enough to meet the reporting level established by the CFTC for each of those markets.1 These data are gathered from schedules electronically submitted each week to the CFTC by market participants listing their position in any market for which they meet the reporting criteria.
The report provides a breakdown of aggregate positions held by three different types of traders: “commercial traders,” “non-commercial traders” and “nonreportable.” “Commercial traders” are sometimes called “hedgers”, “non-commercial traders” are sometimes known as “large speculators,” and the “nonreportable” group is sometimes called “small speculators.”

For stocks analysis blogs, I recommend these 2 for American stocks.
I also love Seeking Alpha for its stock recommendation and outlooks.
For example this article on Dividend growth investing

http://www.stockta.com/
And StocksTA for TA analyst on stocks. I use if I have to buy USA stocks to sell covered calls. (astonishing I kept getting assigned on calls, and I had to sell covered puts)


And for those who loves Singapore IPOs,
http://www.singapore-ipos.blogspot.sg/
This guy is awesome, he will provide a wonderful write up on any IPO that is getting listed in Singapore, and give a thoughtful analysis and the statistics for the IPO.
Whenever there is a new IPO coming, I will rush to his website for the latest read.


For all trading, I highly recommend using Interactive Brokers.
