When I First Started Trading, from anonymous
I recall when I first started trading, I did not do execution myself and in fact wrote down the orders on trade sheets, blue for buy, yellow for sell. Then took the written order, walking across the whole trading floor, all taking notice, and handed it to the execution trader. I had better have had a good reason for whatever I was doing. This was a very good process and instilled discipline, discouraged over trading and resulted in reaching full holding period more often than not.
