The Art of Investment Trading
If you're comfortable with and making better results in your trading portfolio why don't you use the same method in your superannuation fund? Also do you calculate your stops differently in your super than your trading fund?
A super fund and a trading fund are two different types of investments and should be treated differently. For one thing, your super fund has a much larger amount of money at stake. For another, the purpose of the funds is different. Therefore, they require different approaches.
If you were to suffer extreme losses in your investment trading fund, you wouldn't be happy, but it shouldn't ruin you financially. However, when it comes to your super fund, the last thing you ever want to do is lose it because it holds your financial future. You should take a conservative and defense approach to managing it. The amount of money in your investment accounts plays a big role in how you handle the accounts. While the basic rules of investing apply such as cutting losses and running profits, you must adapt your approach to protect your account and reap the maximum benefits.
Your super fund should be allowed to grow over the years so when you are allowed to cash in on it, you will have a nice sum available to provide financial security.
As far as setting your stops goes, you want to nip your losses in the bud and let your profits run no matter what you are trading, but when it comes to your superfund, the way you handle your stops is going to be very different. One method does not work for both types of investing.
David: Are you using the same method of calculation on your super fund as your CFD trading fund? Obviously the width is going to be different, but are you going to be using the same method of calculation?
Stuart: The same method, no. I use a volatility base for my super fund and a technical stop for my short term trading. Investment trading often calls for different methods to be profitable. We have to be able to adapt our trading style to match our individual circumstances. - 23204
