Thanks KDA I'm trying things... I wasn't being as conscienous as I'd like to be sim tading, so my agreement with myself is to trade one contract on the ES, with only a few trades a day, for the month of Dec. See if I could focus more. It's working. I could stop now, the first 3 days...

"KDASFTG" Sayyyyyyyyyyyy.... Does KDASFTG stand for 'Keep da ass soft for that's good?' That wasn't exactly at the top of my list of trading goals, at least stated that way but I'll take it to heart, or, er, where ever! :D [actually it is good advice, in it's way] [but saying...

It's getting late, but I wanted to continue the thought above. The Occupationa therapy people talk about 'compensations'. It happens all our lives. Like as a child when, say, all the other kids can whistle but it's a problem for you. Then you maybe hold your mouth different, or breath...
