A big thank you top all readers who either commented on my open question  if and how to include “Trading positions” into the blog. Overall I concluded that I can allow myself the luxury of a small allocation to “trades” as long as I do it consistently and with good risk management. One of the luxuries of a private investor is indeed that one can allow oneself some fun without needing to explain it to third parties and having fun is important to stay motivated.

Following some additional deliberations, my approach (for the time being) will be the following:

• I will allow myself up to max 10% and up to max 7 trading positions at any given time going forward
• In order to track them I will write short summaries with a clear “game plan” for the position
• Close ot in case of a pre defined loss is a must
