BTW - Nearly triple in 5 mos is great, but I forgot to ask - how are you calculating your strat? What metrics are you using for your calculations?

Simple logic would dictate that, and please correct me if I am wrong here - your current strategy is a Bull strat? If so, then why not create a strategy that performs well in bear markets also? Or just invert all your logical operators across the board and label it "bearStrat.ext"...

I will add: The market does not hand out money to those who do not earn it... or rather, those who do not protect the capital in their trading account. Staring at the monitor during market hours does not qualify as billable hours in this equation either. The eSignal forums are laden with people...

I love being up good in the morning, then shamefully handing it all right back :mad: I got most of it back, but not in the green. Where's the volume?

Danger - Danger Will Robinson! Narrow trading ranges, no real market moving data . . . Took an ATO scalp, but stepping aside today. Good luck all!

Not too bad ATO. Tomorrow should be interesting . . .

Took about a week off from trading to tend to nothing in particular. Held puts which (finally) paid off mildly. Moral: don't buy too far out of the money . . . Blotter shows gain in overnight position only; total gains were + 321

50 Cent called his movie: "Get Rich or Die Trying" My movie is coming out this summer - I am calling it: "Go Broke, or Die Trying". So far it appears to be a blockbuster! Woo-Haa!

Today I: 1. Started with a hot tub on the deck. Ahh. 2. Scrapped that and decided to dig a hole for a blood filled pool in the backyard. 3. Backfilled and installed a kiddie pool in the yard. Hey, where's your pool, smartass? :p Green beats red every day of the week no matter what the...
