That's because you didn't even bother to look at the aforementioned publications. Nice try though. Reader beware - of Bryan Roberts :p http://query.nytimes.com/search/query?query=%22palestinian+school%22&date=past30days http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/world/issues/mideastpeace/...

Compression my ass - it's Wolof, a Senegalese dialect and translates thus : "Dear Bungrider, My uncle is the deposed President of Senegal and has access to $125 million in a joint bank account with ...(garbled)......."

Commisso, CaroKann and Dustin - I appreciate the suggestions and advice, and will look into ways of implementing them. Mom - I will start tithing myself as of today. I owe you 1 ES point. tampa - OK, trade the mornings, but steer clear of Quah's fib times. That should be fair to everyone.

(So he probably knows how I look like... :()

tampa and Commisso, trade the afternoons only - and stay off my train.

Took a while and a little too many trades for my liking, but I did manage to reach 10 points - and without having to wait for the afternoon session. +10.0 pts / 26 RT / 2 ct lots

Great question, Commisso. Initially it was introduced as a CBM (confidence building measure) after my big ($10k) meltdown. Now that I have successfully reached the 6 point daily profit target in 6 out of 9 profitable days, I believe it can be increased, if not totally eliminated. Because I am...

My last loss led to the breakout from the 2.25 point day (3 X 0.75 pt), so hopefully some good will come of today's loss. Rule 6 changed to "...and the minimum profit target is 1 point." Rule 10 changed to "... a realized profit of at least MCS*10 points..." Rather than completely drop...

Commisso, if I'm this late posting then either one of two possibilities exist : 1. I didn't trade today. 2. I took liberties with my daily stop loss and churned my ass off in an extended trading session. I wanted to stop but just kept slowly bleeding. I kept rationalizing that this would...

Voilà! Thanks, Magna.

Andy, it's good that you're honest and, ironically, I believe you would have felt worse telling us all about the excursion into ES had you made $100 on them. Nobody gets A+ all the time, there will be more lapses in discipline, just don't be too hard on yourself - you're doing great.

JT, I personally find a daily profit target (not to mention stop loss) to be of great benefit in these early "feeling around" stages. I think your results over the last few sessions would have looked different had you adopted a daily profit target of, say, 10 NQ points. I can understand the...

DSL will be a problem in the new place, but I should be able to get cable almost immediately. The move, however, has been postponed for a couple of weeks, so I'm back to trading for the moment. What a difference a day makes. (Now, where's that accordion?) +6.0 pts / 8 RT / 2 ct lots

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan's announcement of Iraq's decision to allow the return of the inspectors caught me lugging my accordion in between carriages on the uptown E train, in a concerted effort to catch up to my fellow Mariachi musicians. I knew the spoos would spike and as we struck up...

tampa, you're in luck. I am in the process of moving from one location in New York City to another (till the anticipated big move to either Florida or Vegas), so I won't be trading till I can get DSL and/or cable installed in the new place. I'll know more about possible dates tomorrow. (I wonder...

Whoever spots the discipline breach gets to accompany me to Madame C's for the whipping I (make that we) deserve. Mitigating circumstances for the lapse were the negative trend together with the Florida incident still lurking in the background. +6.0 pts / 5 RT / 2 ct lots

Wasted time looking for opportunities that weren't there in the lacklustre market leading up to Bush's speech to the UN. There were moments when it felt as if trading had been halted. +2.75 pts / 16 RT / 2 ct lots

AAA, was that a dig at me? :mad: :mad: :mad:

Sounds more like Colombo than Commisso :D
