@piezoe, The only problem with capitalism just like communism is people take those things to extremes for their own selfish gain. In the health care system, people can make a ton of money and turn that ton of money to lobbyists and infinite donations to politicians to keep the status quo...

+1.. lobbysts dominate in Washington DC. Citizens United decision? Hmm.. Unlimited contributions? Guess who has the most money? LOL. Not average Joe worker.

The whole medical system is a scam here in the U.S. The doctors, insurance companies, and big pharma all have their hands in our pockets. GOPs can claim that law suits are what drives up prices. That's a drop in the hat. It's nothing. You ask yourself who came first chicken or egg? That...

+74 Well, calling it a day. Grinded it out with a positive week. That's all I can ask for. So glad to trade with the trend now. I can get in at the right time as well without prices shooting past me. Previously, price would reach my exit target within a few seconds forget the entry...

+69 Glad I can finally trade with the trend without waiting for a pullback. Previously I was forced to use limit orders all the time. Brought a horse buggy to a Nascar race. There were many times where I had a good idea where the market is heading but just couldn't get in. Prices always...

-126 I should've not traded as I was gone in the morning. Then came back. Terrible day. Big Set Back. Tough Learning Lesson. Only highlight was that I found out that the stop orders with entries work now. I tried it. Could be a useful tool in the future. Bought 120.70 Sold 120.14...

Looks like stocks are up big while I was gone. No trading tomorrow. Gotta do a gig for a few hours early in the morning.

+16 Tough to read where it's going to go for me today. I wanted to get in on early action but really didn't go where I thought it would. Ended up just scalping out a bunch of times. Sold Short 119.94 10:34 Sold Short 121.11 11:15 Bought Cover 119.92 10:35 Bought Cover 121.06 11:15...

+15 Couldn't pull the trigger again and was too slow on some moves. Missed getting in on few by micro seconds. Bought 116.70 10:00 Sold Short 116.43 12:01 Sold 116.73 10:03 Bought Cover 116.40 12:01 Sold Short 116.99 12:13 Bought Cover 116.9422* 12:13 *I got so hurried...

+1 What a joke of a day. I just either couldn't get in on time or couldn't pull the trigger. Some of these prices are just too fast for my limit orders. As one of the customer service guys at Lightspeed said, "using the order entry box to do orders is like bringing a horse buggy to a...

You have to realize that women are emotional beings. That is where they can act like you're perfect for them one moment and think the opposite in another. Lame I know. On the plus since however, since they are emotional, they are also more able to switch around and forgive easier than guys...

All the relationships where I know the girl loves her guy is when the guy is strong and doesn't live his life just for his girl. Don't put his girl on a pedestal. Regardless of how some want to. Maybe this girl is into this guitar dude because that guy is really into his guitar work. I...

+12 Sold Short 118.00 09:31* Bought Cover 117.96 09:35 Sold Short 117.48 11:46 Bought Cover 117.44 11:46 *I got really spooked this morning on the first bar up. At one point it got 0.68 above my short entry. I was staring at the P&L with large negative again over -120. I opted to...

+10 Another day where I missed out and couldn't bring myself to trade. Some opportunities I was too conservative and some I just missed getting in. It took 3 days to make up for Friday's loss. It was a grind for sure. Mentally, couldn't bring myself to take risks today. Perhaps I should...

+36 Gained some back. A lot of thinking went in. A lot of close calls on some miscalculated trend lines. The problem is that when the prices move, the chart moves too and I have to adjust using a crude straight edge which lead to errors in calculating entry points. Seemed like another...

+14 I forced myself to jump in a bit. Strange when one is down big, one is more willing to take risks with a sense of urgency. Today after a few days off, I didn't feel the urgency. Made it a break even week for last week and start fresh tomorrow. Strange. Tough to make a lot counter...

Correction for my own notes: Sold Short 120.46 13:25 Bought Cover 120.44 13:27** Corrected

-53 Bad mistake in the beginning. After a winning streak. One gets sloppy. Should've waited to see what the day was going to be like. It was mostly a down trend channel day. Bought 121.70 09:41 Sold 121.13 09:51 Another mishap in calculating the trend line. I was not...

You seem to have a system that works well. Keep it up. I enjoy your posts.

+10 Woke up late.. Forgot to set the alarm.. Seemed like a strong trend day. Tough to counter trend trade on that. Hard to tell what kind of day it's going to be until towards the middle of end of day. I need to revise my strategy for these kinds of days. Sold Short 119.43 11:56...
